review 1: Okay, I recognize that this guy is douchey and the writing is decidedly Not Good, but. BUT! I sort of found it delightful. I was craving a story (this is a "personal account" but read like a story, mostly) of the behind-the-scenes living on a cruise ship, and while I roll my eyes at a lot of his excuses and escapades, it was fun and easy and I am glad I read it. I didn't love it but I solidly liked it.
review 2: Not too bad, but way too long for the material covered. It was more a story about the author and his challenges and sexual temptations than about the details of a cruise ship. I got the impression he didn't want to burn any bridges with Carnival. I also thought that he must have spent hours each day recording in his journal to write at the level of deta... moreil he used. Yet, from the long hours of work he had to do with minimal sleep I don't see how he could have possibly had time. Or else he has a photographic memory. He had an unbelievable ability to resist temptation, even for someone planning to write about it. less
