jas1178 Posted June 4, 2009 #102 Share Posted June 4, 2009 If anyone has a copy they are passing around, I'm interested! Read the 77 page preview, then checked all the local library and book stores! jonathan AT sullivanway.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyntil8ing Posted June 4, 2009 #103 Share Posted June 4, 2009 My library didn't have it, so I sent it in as a suggestion. They are going to order it and reserve it for me when it comes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lazydayz Posted June 4, 2009 #104 Share Posted June 4, 2009 On Monday I went online and found a local Borders who had a copy. Tuesday I flew to Austin, Texas and back and was able to finish the book. What a fun read, but I will look at the crew differently now. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbroseburg Posted June 4, 2009 #105 Share Posted June 4, 2009 and I think she will be passing it to other CC posters. I put my name, hometown and cruise info in the cover of the book. It is an Awesome book and definitely deserved the Humor award! Congratulations! Happy Cruisin' to all!:D :eek:<<<<<I have been wanting to use this smile for a while, but haven't written anything appropriate! It makes me laugh evertime I see someone use it! It cracks me up! :eek::eek::eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovintravelin Posted June 4, 2009 #106 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I love to read. After reading all about this book, I just have to have a copy. We looked all over town today. No copies to be had. Barnes & Noble even said it was out of print and they can't order it. I don't want to wait indefinitely for a copy from Amazon. Does anyone know where I can get a copy now? I couldn't find What time is the Midnight Buffet either. HELP! It's ya'll fault I have to have this book.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMBB Posted June 5, 2009 #108 Share Posted June 5, 2009 ladysail2--I will be sending you a e-mail soon to get your address to send you the book. You were the first one to post that you wanted it. Their are others on this site who would like to read it also, so if you can pass it on to someone else on Cruise Critic, that would be great. I wonder where this book could travel to? I am going to posted a note in the book, like Tammi did. Keep it moving and enjoy!!! kmbb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystalbast Posted June 5, 2009 #109 Share Posted June 5, 2009 If you have a Kindle you can obtain the book in seconds. I'll be reading it on my upcoming cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthierry Posted June 5, 2009 #110 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Good Morning cruiser's, & cruisette's! I have also read the preview, and I would like this book. I spent 3 hours yesterday afternoon, calling and going from store to store. No one has it in stock anywhere near where I live. My email is arthierry@gt.rr.com. If anyone who has read the book, and would like to pass it on, please send it my way. I'll be sure to pass it along once I'm through with it. Thanks in advanced!

KMBB Posted June 5, 2009 #112 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Chaylat--this book must be really popluar, I can't believe that you can not get it in La somewhere. I just send Tammi's copy to ladysail in Canada. Maybe she will post after she reads it and you can get that copy. It will be awhile through. Post office told me 5 to 10 days to get it to her. I'll be coming out your way in October, a friends daughter has been accepted to a college there and we have to check out housing for her. Good luck getting the book, maybe we should have started taking bids for it--Ha Ha, kmbb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find What time is the Midnight Buffet either. HELP! It's ya'll fault I have to have this book.:eek: Not to worry! The publisher has already baked up another batch of books. The demand had completely swamped them (a wonderful thing... at first) and even mighty Amazon sold out. The books should be distributed in another week or so, mid Junish, I believe. Holy Cat, you guys are all amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMBB Posted June 7, 2009 #116 Share Posted June 7, 2009 So Brian, are you writing about book? I found your book interesting, just to see how hard people work is amazing. I would not have been able to hang in there like you did. Great for you, crazy, stupid Amercian, and all for a girl. Would you do it all again? Have a good day. kmbb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcarp Posted June 7, 2009 #117 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi Brian, I would love to meet some of the crew members in your book. Do they still work in the cruise industry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian David Bruns Posted June 7, 2009 #118 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi Brian, I would love to meet some of the crew members in your book. Do they still work in the cruise industry? An excellent question! I only know of one good friend who still works at sea, and still in the restaurants, amazingly. Some, oh, two dozen or so folks I worked with in the past have moved back to land, those who I still keep in contact with. The Other Sexy Bitch, for example, is now living in the States with his American wife and a pit bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cccer Posted June 7, 2009 #121 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Brian, I just picked up your book Friday and finished it Friday night. Now my wife is almost done with it. We both really enjoyed your book. It really gives an interesting perspective on cruising. Is there another cruise book in the works? Perhaps related to the art industry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrlandoD Posted June 8, 2009 #122 Share Posted June 8, 2009 OMG :eek: Just went on Amazon and it's selling used for $36-55 plus shipping.......and no our library in the mighty O-town doesn't have it - anywhere. Guess I'm gonna have to wait a bit for the next batch to come out of the oven! Looking forward to it Brian!

lollylew Posted June 8, 2009 #123 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hey Brian if you are still around I just want to tell you how I used your book to shut up my BIL when we were on our cruise on the Valor two weeks ago. He was all gripping about how "nice it would be to take a 6 month vacation and work on a cruise ship" and I promptly showed him your book and said "If you feel that it would be a vacation, then read this!!". I am so glad that I read it and I definitely made sure to be more aware of just how hard working all the staff are on the cruise ships. I even talked with my dining room waiter about his contract and other stuff and he was quite surprised I knew what it was!! I think he appreciated that I didn't just think he was some slave from a foreign country coming here to serve ME!! Can't wait for the sequel and congratulations on winning those awards!! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathi316 Posted June 8, 2009 #124 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I guess I got lucky w/ a library copy (not that I wouldn't love to own one)! After skimming this thread I picked it up for reading on my cruise that departs in 1 wk. Unfortunately, I sneaked a peak and ended up finishing it in 2 days :rolleyes: Time for the sequal Mr Brian!! Seriously, I don't read much and when I do it usually has to be light and easy or it looses my attention. Found this to be a wonderfully informative and easy read! Oh, and now I know better than to try and order 2 of anything in the dining room ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
