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.

Story
Here is an unbelievable journey to the truth of life as a GP, through spilt urine bottles, the patients who should have been in hospital months ago, existential crises, utterly unexplainable health problems and awkward silences. Being a GP is a job that requires you to be a detective, relationship counsellor, social worker, friend, sex therapist, parent-figure and sometimes, just sometimes, a doctor. Find out why you only get 10 minutes with a GP, why you can never see the same doctor and why they are always running late.

Story
Leaving London and her ex-husband, Luc, behind, Katie and her 14-year-old daughter, Poppy, move into their very own, very ramshackle cottage near the village of Christmas Steepleton on the Dorset coast. Harvest Cottage has been unloved for many years, so the job of bringing it back to life is a slow and expensive one. So, with funds running low, Katie jumps at the chance when a film company asks to use the cottage as a location. But even as things are looking up, as harvest time passes and autumn chill starts to bite, the prospect of a cold winter in the country is daunting.

Laugh until you cry
I enjoy going on a cruise and when I read the reviews on this audiobook I could not resist. It is not a book with a storyline but rather a series of short narratives which make this audiobook ideal for short burst. Not only are the stories funny but when you consider they are real then they become hilarious. The author relates her stories on board cruise ships with delightful ease and with wicked humour whilst the narrator is absolutely brilliant with a delivery that makes you feel as though he is sitting next to you on the sofa reliving anecdotes from the sea rather than reading a book. I started listening to it in the kitchen whilst baking but after crying with laughter I completely forgot where I was in the baking process and had to start again. I cannot recommend this audiobook enough. A must for all who cruise and anyone who wants a jolly good laugh. A feel good audiobook!

A Composite of All People On A Ship
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Truly a funny compilation of what type of people and situations are experienced on a cruise ship. I could nod my head and think of the different people I’ve seen or known who fall into some of the categories or have experienced the situations. Each chapter is short and quickly paints a vivid picture in your mind of the person or situation, such as: people who wear white hats, leopard skin, leather, fashion clothes, no clothes, transparent clothes, gym clothes...people with children, scooters, singles, plastic surgery, positive or negative attitudes...officers with land and ship wives...dancing, talent shows, crafting, psychos, rich, dangerous on purpose and accidentally... Anyway if you’ve lived at all you can find yourself or someone you know or seen who fits into this humorous look at people. The narrator did an excellent job of giving life and fun to the stories without feeling it was meant in a mean way..just a fun look at human behavior.

Pretty funny stuff
I received a free copy of this in exchange for an unbiased review. I'm totally against cruise ships and you'll never see me on one. I still found it funny and could totally picture the "creatures" in this book.

Had Me Laughing... Fun Book
"I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." I quite enjoyed this book, having been on cruises I certainly have seen some real characters. My favorite part was the part about the spa services. Narration was fine, I had no issues following along.

Cant understand the narrator
I am truly sorry that I can not understand a word that the narrator is saying. With all the good reviews I would loved to have understood the narrator, therefore I can not in all honesty give a great review. I received this free from the author or narrator for an honest review.

I recognize some of these cruisers but I still ..
I recognize most of these cruisers but I still love cruising. If you've never cruised don't be too scared about all the different people who will be on your cruise with you. The ships are large and there are so many places to hang out that you'll probably never see most of them but you can certainly laugh when you do! It was fun to listen to - really to laugh along with this book. Every different type of person he talks about is truly on board every cruise ship I've ever been on. Part of the fun to cruising is all of the people watching that you can do. This is more silly than informative but really a fun book. I would recommend this to people who have ever cruised because you will be able to relate and to those who never have.

Amusing
Overall this was entertaining and I got a few good laughs. It shows there are a lot of different types of people who take cruises. They all have their particular behaviors. This seemed to focus mostly on older cruisers and how they behave on their cruises (away from home and people they know). My biggest issue with this book is that it was written by a female but narrated by a man. I'm not quite sure why they did it this way but it confused me a couple times! I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator.

A must for anyone who has ever cruised or thought to cruise
I don’t care if you have or have not cruised. This book is HILARIOUS!!!! If you have cruised you will recognize many of the types of people discussed herein. If you haven’t then just imagining them is great. Narrated with a David Attenborough style voice one could close their eyes (not while driving!!!) and imagine this documentary of cruise ship creatures playing out on your minds eye screen. It is that well written, that well narrated and that damned engaging that one will have to listen to start to finish imagining it all the whole way through. A must for cruisers, a must for non cruisers, totally transferable to anyone who has ever worked in hospitality and customer service related jobs. All these types can be sent here as well. Recommend this highly! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Fantastic
A very funny look at the people who cruise. Having been on a couple of cruises it's easy to look back and remember seeing these characters. The Narrator did a very good job keeping you involved.

Baby let's cruise
Okay, this is really funny. I laughed out loud and giggled some more. I have never been on a cruise ship, but I feel like I have now. Ruby and Michelle have a good chemistry. Stockton did a nice job with narration. I had it on in my car and my sister was laughing out loud too. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
