The hull truth

the long version

"Book Two delves even deeper into the CREW ONLY area for a behind-the-scenes sea voyage that navigates through the laugh-out-loud ups and downs of a cruise ship crew member's ship life.The nautical adventure begins in the midst of a cold, snowy winter...but then the phone rings. It's the sea calling, and nothing sounds better than walking up that gangway one more time and climbing aboard a cruise ship that has its bow pointed toward warm breezes, cold piña coladas, and beach-lined tropical islands. This time Gertie, a beautiful brunette, is giving the captain's orders during this port-hopping escapade that explores the often seedy and always fast-paced world of cruise ship art auctions. Grab a slice of chocolate melting cake for a deck-swabbing excursion that sails around the Caribbean and across the Atlantic Ocean to ports of call in Germany, England, and beyond. And finally get answers to your cruise ship questions such as: Do you think anyone would rescue my cruise ship manager if I threw him overboard? And, why does the champagne served at cruise ship art auctions always taste about as good as the water that shoots out of a whale's blowhole?"--Amazon.com.
