• “A very thorough and practical, readable guide for anybody thinking about a life on luxury cruise liner’s.”
• Hailed by existing crew members as “interesting, insightful and informative, a must read before committing to working on ships”  ” Seeing it as a final product was awesome, I was so intrigued by it all and better than I expected, I couldn’t put it down!  Reading what other people thought was very interesting I love all the research you have put in, the variety of both cargo and Cruise ships and the different departments intrigued me, having a captain was awesome. Great work Michelle. You have such a great thing here and very useful. I have a very very good feeling about it. Thank you for sharing it with me.”   T, Australia (crew member)
