Get ready to sail on a Cruise Ship Confidential! Ever wonder what goes on below decks of a real-life Love Boat? Bruce J. Starin knows. He was hired as a Social Director, and soon promoted to Assistant Cruise Director (First Officer of Entertainment) on a ship he calls the "S.S. Luna Sea" because, if he used its real name in this funny, wise, revelatory memoir, a lot of marriages might dissolve and a fair number of former crewmen might get keel-hauled. Although Starin is now a highly respected international television game show consultant (that's the second half of the book), he started off keeping vacationing cruise ship passengers entertained (that's the first half) and out of trouble. This involved planning onboard shows, running shore tours, and putting up with such questions as "When is the midnight buffet?" "Do these stairs go down?" and the one that gives this book its title, "Does the crew sleep on board?" When Starin docked his career and began working in Hollywood he encountered just as many eccentrics, only this time they were famous, ranging from game show icons Bob Eubanks, Monty Hall, and Dick Clark to screen legends Clint Eastwood, Charlton Heston, and Esther Williams, as well as Muhammad Ali, President Gerald Ford and many more. Each was a memorable encounter. Whether you're sailing on a luxury liner or cruising behind the scenes of TV game shows you'll never have as much fun as you will with Does the Crew Sleep on Board?
