ForeWord Humor Book of the Year

Benjamin Franklin Awards Humor Book of the Year

In Cruise Confidential, Brian David Bruns spills the dirt - or, in this case, the dirty water - on those romantic, fun-filled vacations at sea. His hilarious chronicle of the year he spent working for Carnival Cruise Lines takes listeners down into the areas where the crew works and lives, leaving listeners gasping with laughter as they're assaulted nonstop with events that range from the absurd to the utterly bizarre. Stewards fighting over food. Cutlery allowances and other nonsensical rules. What the crew calls those onboard (no, it's not passengers). And, of course, the sex. An abundance of ready, willing, and able bodies eager for action on a vessel replete with nooks and crannies leads to love in some mighty strange and seemingly impossible places.

Breezy, entertaining, and informative, Cruise Confidential is essential listening for those planning a cruise or for anyone who just needs a good laugh.

One of my Favourites

This is one of my many Audiobooks that I couldn't wait to listen to whenever I had the chance. The story is fast paced and I felt very much at home, especially being an avid lover of cruising. The picture painted is so vivid - it felt like I was on board the ship alongside Brian. There are so many varied and humorous tales that I smiled nearly the whole way through. Credit must go to the amazing narration by Gary Furlong who was really the star of this book. His many accents and characters place Gary at the top of my "must listen to" list. A simply brilliant job. I will definitely re-listen to this book again before I next hit the seas.
