Carnival Cruise Lines has obviously discovered Cruise Confidential, because the rumors are flying on board. While I worked for Carnival, I took huge pains to keep dates and times and places and names all correct. That is reflected in the book, barring the obvious changing of names. But for anyone who knows the people involved, there is no mistaking them.
Carnival knows who's involved, all right.
I hear tell of a flurry of emails shooting from the head office in Miami to the Carnival Conquest, a ship featured prominently in the book, as well as at several of the restaurant managers that had to deal with the 'trouble American waiter'. Just queries for information, so I hear, but the volume indicates that they are wanting to stay on top of things. I certainly can't blame them! With Cruise Confidential maintaining the top 20 on Amazon's humor list for 4 weeks now, it means people are reading and learning!
So ask away, Carnival. Read the book, between the lines, all of it. I have nothing to hide and unfortunately you do. Should it stop one from cruising on Carnival? Absolutely not! But people want to know what it's like working on ships, and now they can!

I stayed up late reading your book and just finished it two nights ago. Thanks for keeping such a good diary while you were on the ships. I wish I had kept a better diary when I was in the Army, because your book is inspiring me to write!
Thanks for doing the expose on the ship. Maybe it will lead to better working conditions- like the airline industry (it hurts to even write that).
