Robinson Cruising: Confessions of a crewmember

In this delightfully witty memoir, Vaughan Robinson rather mischievously explores the modern cruise ship culture from his perspective as a crewmember.

Running away from a failed marriage and living homeless in London perhaps gives Robinson a slightly different perspective to what it is like for many crewmembers aboard modern cruise ships. He certainly doesn't hold back from exploring things he has been curious about for years - although I am sure he wishes his curiosity was a little less active. We find him being abducted in Indonesia by a gun wielding maniac, experiencing illness and death aboard one cruise ship on a biblical scale, and he is even asked to a party by a crewmember who likes to watch videos of concrete being poured. But then these are the things you will never hear from other crewmembers, because they are too busy telling you of their sexual exploits.

Find out what it is really like aboard cruise ships from the perspective of someone who told his ex-wife, he would rather be covered in honey and left in an Alaskan forest naked than step foot on a cruise ship.
