Cruise Critic features Brian David Bruns

Cruise Critic, the end-all and be-all of online cruising resources, has fit to grace its hallowed pages with two wonderful pieces on Cruise Confidential. First and foremost, they gave a fantastic review of the book. Every year they list the latest and greatest books about all things cruising. The top book covered, by the editor in chief, Carolyn Spencer Brown, no less, was none other than Cruise Confidential.

To quote from Carolyn, Cruise Confidential "offers a riveting look at his life as a waiter onboard a series of Carnival cruise ships. His experience is clearly not all pretty -- 80-plus hour work weeks; wild crew parties; mental breakdowns; and having to protect his dining room cutlery from packs of waiter-robbers. But the tales are fascinating, his experiences colored by the melting pot world of mega-ships, a multi-cultural mix of crew and officers.

Perhaps an even greater honor was being interviewed for one of their popular features, Q&A. Over a series of phone calls and emails, I was interviewed by Associate Editor Dan Askin for the article. You'll find twenty questions that get to the heart of the experience that prompted me to write the book, as well as how it changed my life. Wonderful stuff by Cruise Critic!

Mr. Bruns, Is there a way to possibly email you? I tried your blog profile email and it bounced back.

cruiseconfidential@gmail.com should work. I don't know why it bounced back, that was odd. Drop me a note!
