Book Reviews of Cruise Crazy: The Cruise Addict's Survival Guide
Book Review: Cornball humor at is best/worst
Summary: 1 Stars
I love cruises and books on cruises. I've bought so many of them from Amazon that I've lost count. Of all the cruise books I've read, this is the only one I truly dislike. The humor is so cornball.
The narrator of the book is "Dr. Kruz Nutty". Dr. Nutty's picture is shown throughout the book posing in various situations involving cruises. In each picture he wears a stethoscope, white lab coat, and captain's hat while sporting thought balloons including "Wowza...Caribbean Cosmos are the bomb!", "Virroomm!", and "Awwww....I wove my wittle inflatable cruise ship!"
If you find this kind humor to be funny, then buy the book. If not, save your money and buy one of these excellent books: Berlitz Complete Guide to Cruising, any of the Anne Vipond cruise books, Frommer,s Cruises and Ports of Call, any of the John Maxtone-Graham books, any of the William H. Miller books, and Permanent Passenger: My Life on a Cruise Ship, Cruise Confidential: A Hit Below the Waterline.
Summary of Cruise Crazy: The Cruise Addict's Survival Guide
For millions of people every year, a cruise isn't just a delightful vacation it's an obsession. These Cruise Crazies have simply GOT TO BE ON ONE - landlubber jobs and responsibilities be damned. Luckily for them, there is a new behavioral therapy guide by Dr. Kruz Nutty (a.k.a. Bob Mick), the world's premier authority on cruise addiction. Through Dr. Nutty's Cruise Crazy, take a quiz to discover which of the four levels of cruise addiction you have reached. Then take note of the wacky pre- and post-cruise rituals and obsessive-compulsive symptoms that give cruise addicts away while learning new terms that finally define their crazy addictive behaviors: Stage 1: Pre-Cruise Psychosis - a happy obsession over choosing the perfect cruise; hosting cruise-themed parties, and sending endless newsletters to friends about their future cruise. Stage 2: Traumatic Travel Syndrome, where NOTHING will keep Cruise Crazies from getting to the ship on time. Driving at break-neck speed to their port of departure, booking only hotels with harbor views to watch for their ship, and suffering from Seaport Personality Syndrome get out of the way as these Crazies rush onto the ship. Stage 3: Sea Junky. Here they either subside into lethargic poolside lounging, hibiscus in hair, sipping umbrella-laden ice-cold drinks, and floating peacefully on turquoise waters, or they rev up into a frenzy of shipboard and seaport activities by overindulging, overshopping, overeating, and overdipping into every port of call with utter abandon. Stage 4: Severe Ship Separation Anxiety as cruise crazies approach the dreaded end of the cruise, when days of uncontrolled exuberance come to an end. But Dr. Nutty does not abandon his dry-land afflicted Crazies here. Discover his 25-step Cruise Recovery Program with its bathtub buffets, faux cruise ship rooms, and other cruise withdrawal remedies. Laughter is always the best medicine and Cruise Crazy may be all the laugh therapy - or encouragement - you need.Humor Books
