Robinson Cruising

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 gives Robinson a slightly different perspective to what life is like for many crewmembers aboard cruise ships. He certainly doesn't hold back from exploring things he finds intriguing - although I am sure he wishes his curiosity was a little less active, because 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 soiree 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 all too busy telling you of their sexual exploits and drinking alcohol by the bucket load. Find out what it is really like for many crewmembers working 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.
