From Midwest Book Review
Perhaps the icon of excess, cruise ships carry many strange diversions for those with money to burn. Ship for Brains looks into...the twists and turns of politics that often occur when one lives on a ship and what can be experienced upon it. With a grand dose of humor and a good dose of memoir, Ship for Brains is a fine pick, not to be overlooked.

Returning with his award-winning wit and delightfully candid narrative voice, Brian brings us the first and only expos of art auctioneering on the mighty liners, where the tenet of what happens at sea, stays at sea has always been observed - until now. We are transported to the sea as our likable guide vividly shares his misadventures, triumphs, flirtations, and, above all, his amusing and astute insights into human nature.

In the Cruise Confidential series Brian David Bruns spills the dirt-or in this case, the dirty water-on those romantic, fun-filled vacations at sea. His hilarious chronicle of the years he spent working on cruise ships takes readers down into the areas where the crew works and lives, leaving readers gasping with laughter as theyre assaulted nonstop with events that range from the absurd to the utterly bizarre.

From Booklist
Although this isnt an expos of cruise lines so much as a lighthearted adventure, readers planning a cruise will glean lots of useful information, and cruise veterans may find themselves looking at their familiar turf in a new, slightly suspicious way.
