🚢 Cruise lovers, this one is for you.

I just released my new book, Only on a Cruise Ship: The Strangest, Funniest, and Most Unbelievable Stories from Life at Sea.

It is a funny, heartfelt, and sometimes completely ridiculous collection of real cruise-life stories — the kind of moments that could never happen at home, in a hotel, or on land.

These are the stories that happen when thousands of strangers become a floating village:
the elevator moments, the casino characters, the crew friendships, the Santas in February, the sea-day madness, the unexpected kindness, the unforgettable passengers, and the strange little miracles that make cruise ships feel like their own world.

If you have ever said, “Only on a cruise ship…” then you already understand exactly what this book is about.

It is not a travel guide.
It is not a cruise review.
It is a love letter to the weird, beautiful, hilarious, emotional, unbelievable life that happens at sea.

Perfect for cruise addicts, Kindle readers, sea-day readers, travel memoir fans, and anyone who believes that any day aboard a ship is a great day aboard a ship.

📘 Only on a Cruise Ship is available now on Amazon:

And now I have to ask:
What is the most “only on a cruise ship” thing you have ever seen?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Readers are giving it five stars!
What happens when thousands of strangers are placed aboard a ship in the middle of the ocean—with nowhere to escape one another?
A woman takes half a billion dollars but still can’t find a place to land. A drinking, cursing priest delivers the most honest blessings imaginable. A singer closes the show with a song from Titanic—because somehow, it makes perfect sense.
These aren’t stories you’ll find in a cruise brochure.
🚢 Only on a Cruise Ship reveals the hilarious, emotional, strange, and almost unbelievable moments that happen when people leave ordinary life behind—and show who they really are.
Once you start reading, you may never look at your fellow passengers the same way again.
