What a Story!

Just came across Garin's book , "Devils on the Deep Blue Sea," on closeout at Amazon for $6 and had my eyes opened about what goes on in the cruise industry. Tells how RCCL and Carnival got started and how they feel about each other. Reads like Fiction.

Sounds like great cruise reading! Thanks for the recommendation.

What was the most interesting info you learned from the book..or something we would be interested in knowing?

Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I'll look for it too.

I learned about how Carnival almost single-handedly shaped what we have today (for good or bad). How "cashless cruising" change the whole industry and some of the dirty environmental things that have been going on and never hit the papers. I was fascinated with it.

We've read about half the book and have found it a very interesting read. I never realized the founders of Carnival and NCL were at one time business partners.

I read this and also the books by Klein. Very good! :)

A well researched and written book. How RCI lost Princess to Carnival is very interesting.

About time I reread it.

Purchased this book several years ago when it first came out. A very good book for anyone that follows the cruise industry. The story about how Arison got his money to start up Carnival was interesting. It also shows what a competitive industry this is and there is no love lost between the two big boys.

I started reading it again this week myself Paul. Just as good the second time around.:)

Probably time for me to read it again. I never really finished it the first time--left about10-15 pages...but I have forgotten a lot of the details:rolleyes:

I'm glad to hear this book mentioned. I had seen a reference to it somewhere but didn't know what it was. Having read OP's post I found and bought it on eBay for $6.99 including shipping.
