What readers are saying
Sometimes the best way to take a cruise is through the pages of a book and
this is one hell of a trip. Micha's book takes the reader on a tour of life
below decks and beyond. This is an amusing and sometimes thought provoking
insight into life aboard Carnival Cruise Line's M.S. Ecstasy. A must have
for cruise addicts everywhere.

I love it! I was smiling throughout the book. I have a feeling that Berman
has fun no matter what he does. Not everyone has the ability to write with
humor; Berman does. This book is entertaining and informative. While reading
Permanent Passenger, I turned to my husband and said, "I want to be an
activity director on a cruise ship." I will probably not work on a cruise
ship, but I will definitely go on a cruise. Well done Micha Berman! Readers
will not want to miss this entertaining book.

Micha has written a fantastic book on his cruise ship adventures. He's done
a great job of putting his knowledge and experience down on paper. It's well
written, informative, and humorous, but most importantly it contains plenty
of essential information for anyone wanting to work on a cruise ship.

What a fantastic book! I have been glued to reading your stories for
around 5 hours now.Thank you for publishing such a book. I have been
looking for literature of "real" life stories regarding an assistant cruise
director / cruise staff position. This has opened my eyes into reality!
