PUBLISHER'S BLURB: Love boat, shining and new, come aboard, we're expecting you ....' Expecting you to get drunk or diseased, fall overboard, participate in environmental degradation and generally at like a goat, that is. From the Achille Lauro to the QEII and all boats, in between, Gwyn Topham talks to crew and passengers to find out what really happens on the high seas. He discovers pirates, pollution, missing persona and murders, unreliable crew, colourful captains and passengers whose antics would make your hair curl. Cruiseships fly flags of convenience and are accountable to no one, and now companies are building ever-larger boats to get more people in on the party. But not all boats operate as F**kships, it is still possible to cruise in an evening gown, but can you be sure your dream holiday, or your boat, won't end up on the rocks? You can not afford to get aboard until you have read Gwyn Topham's lighthearted expose of cruise habits.
