Publisher Description

A finalist in the Global eBook Awards, this is a behind-the-scenes look at cruise ships in a way that's never been done before. Some of the stories are shocking, some are enlightening, but most are just laugh-out-loud entertaining. This tour behind those Crew Only doors will reveal:

  • How romance on a cruise ship is unlike anywhere else,
  • The insane things passengers do
  • Why alcohol is mandatory at sea
  • How nude cruises compare to Christian cruises
  • A first hand account of damage from getting caught in a hurricane

Jay Herring was an American senior officer and one of the few who had physical access to the entire ship. Interviewed on TV by ABC, radio by NPR, and in print by USA Today, The Huffington Post, and Frommers, he worked with every department and every senior officer, including the captain. His wife worked in the casino, and combined they worked for Carnival Cruise Lines for 10 years and sailed on over 503 cruises.

If you've ever wondered what happens below deck on a cruise ship, then get ready to laugh through an experience unlike any other!

"Warts and all account of life on a US cruise ship. Not all glamour by any means and the insight into the behaviour of some of the passengers is truly eye-opening."

    " All I can say is he has a lot of growing up to do. They should change the title to THE TRUTH ABOUT JAY HERRING'S SEXCAPADES with maybe a chapter or two thrown in about cruise ships. "

    " This was an okay book. I expected to find more information about the cruise ship I could use in a practical manner. Entertaining though, it was a quick read. "

    " It was interesting to get some behind the scenes glimpses of what goes on downstairs. Kind of schocking but not really surprising. "

    " Some interesting insight, though not as in depth as I had hoped. Cruised once in my life, probably won't again though not because of this book, it just isn't my type of vacation. "

    " Any insight to be gained via the anecdotes in this book are not worth putting up with the jerk author's POV. I'm not sure he even had a professional editor, as there were several grammatical and spelling errors. To sum up- gross. "

    " The book gives a little insight into what goes on behind the scenes. The crew works about 8 months straight without a day off, then gets 4 months to recuperate. This book will not persuade, nor dissuade you from going on a cruise. The title pretty well sums up the content of the book. "

    " We love cruises and have heard stories about crew activities after hours. A very entertaining read but he dwells on some areas way to much. "
