Unsafe on the High Seas Reviews and Recommendations

  • “Having been the victim of a cruise ship crime (my cabin was robbed!), I wish that I had had the opportunity to read this book before going on that cruise years ago. I was laboring under the false security assumption that going on a cruise would be like stepping on to the Love Boat – a luxurious and safe getaway. Boy, was I wrong.”
  • “… (M)any horrible things happen on cruise ships every day, but they get swept under the rug. … Unsafe on the High Seas is a book that needs to be read by anyone wanting to go on a cruise.”
  • “Just got back from a cruise and wish I had read this book before I went. The cruise industry makes everything look so functional and organized, when really it is just a cover-up.”
  • “I think this should be required reading before going on any cruise.”
