Cruise ship fiction

[Calker]

I'm putting together a list of books about cruising that I could read between now and my Freedom cruise in 2010.

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

I currently have:

Kon-tiki by Thor Heyerdal

Decked by Carol Higgens Clark

It had to be You by Mary Higgens Clark

Birds of Prey by J. A. Jance

[Jolimont]

Hum, good questions! I don't remember ever reading a cruise book, but I read so much, will have to think.

Ship of Fools Katherin Anne Porter

Lusitania J. Kent Layton

Alive on the Andrea Doria Pierette Dominca Simpson

The Path Between the Seas David McCullough

Not really a cruise book...but there sure wouldn't be any Panama Canal cruises but for this effort.

Santa Cruise by Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark.

 

I was going to read it on a cruise but couldn't bring myself to do it.;)

The Ship and the Storm: Hurricane Mitch and the Loss of the Fantome

[Cruisin' Ron VA]

The Ship and the Storm: Hurricane Mitch and the Loss of the Fantome

 

 

That one always gets me in the mood! :D

[Calker]

thanks for all the suggestions - I am going to the library later today - this should get me started

Poseidon Adventure:D

[Kethry88]

Tricky Business by Dave Barry

[Caliber1]

Santa Cruise by Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark.

That was a pretty good book. Short, but entertaining.

The Only Way to Cross by Joan Maxtone-Graham

[big_duck]

Just about anything by Clive Cussler.

It's a good book!

[nothomeonacruise]

Don't forget Carl Hiaasen.:)

[EastTexans2]

Yes, read "Skinny Dip" by Carl Hiaasan!

[ALVINF]

Just about anything by Clive Cussler.

 

Great books. I've read nearly everyone of his Dirk Pitt books. He now has another series about a disguised spy ship, The 5th one just came out. I was going to suggest POSEIDON ADVENTURE, but somebody beat me to it. Perhaps the Titanic (allthough it's non-fiction). :D

I really enjoyed:

Voyage to Oblivion, by Theodore Roosevelt Gardner

[Cotton]

I have two books by Alisa Allan that involve cruising...

 

Winds of Change

After Midnight

I tried to get into Santa Cruise and Decked, but neither held my interest. I think maybe I just don't enjoy Carol Higgins Clark's writing as much as I did her mom's.

Agatha Chrisite's Death on the Nile

[jimbo5544]

James W. Hall wrote a book of mayhem and hostage called Buzz Cut

Devils On The Deep Blue Sea Subtitle: The Dreams, Schemes, And Showdowns That Built America's Cruise-ship Empires

 

Author: KRISTOFFER A. GARIN

 

Pretty much the history of Carnival with a lot of RCCL and NCL thrown in.

Not fiction.

 

Anything by Carl Hiaasen

especially "Skinny Dip." But all, his books well crack you up.

Not fiction.Dan

 

Good read.

 

Also Selling the Sea, by good ol' Bob Dickinson, can accompany this nicely with some Carnival insight as well as technical and sales aspects of the business.
