ALL ABOARD… What the Brochure Left Out!
A Seasoned Cruiser’s Observational Guide to Life at Sea
By PMV Consulting, LLC
About This Book
You swore you’d never do it again. You’re already researching next year’s sailings.
All Aboard … What the Brochure Left Out! is a lovingly absurd tour through the complete cruise experience — from the 47-browser-tab booking spiral to the five-stage grief process of reviewing your final bill.
This is not a book that mocks cruisers. We are all cruisers. That’s what makes it so funny.
Part field guide, part group therapy session, and part love letter to the most cheerfully ridiculous vacation on Earth, All Aboard … What the Brochure Left Out! captures the beautiful, baffling, deeply human ritual of voluntarily setting out to sea with 3,000 strangers — and counting down the days until you can do it again.
What You’ll Learn Inside
- Experience the hilarious rituals of cruise planning and embarkation — from 47 browser tabs and color-coded comparison charts to buffet stampedes and the universally misunderstood muster drill
- Meet the unforgettable characters and traditions of life at sea — including trivia fanatics, Deck 12 Power Walkers, Formal Night fashion choices, pool-chair warriors, and passengers racing to make sailaway
- Laugh your way through every stage of the cruise experience — sea days, shore excursions, drink packages, dining, entertainment, people-watching, disembarkation, and the inevitable decision to book another cruise
- Enjoy 14 chapters, 10 appendixes, and 26 cartoons packed with cruise humor, including the Cruise Passenger Classification System, Drink Package Mathematics, Formal Night Dress Code Decision Tree, and People-Watching Bingo
- Celebrate the wonderfully ridiculous world of cruising with humor written by and for people who genuinely love it — laughing with cruisers, never at them
Ready to Laugh at Your Own Cruise?
All Aboard … What the Brochure Left Out! is the perfect gift for anyone who has ever sworn off cruising and then booked another one anyway.
