What Really Goes Down on a Cruise Ship: Wild Nights, Jealous Colleagues & Passenger Pranks!

EP 5: Jemma and I worked together as entertainment hosts back in 2006 on the last 4 months of my first ever contract.I had worked with another team for the first 6, and was the only member to stay behind to see out the rest of the season.It was sad for me to see them go at first, but Jemma remains one of the nicest people I ever met over the years, and made me forget all about my other team shortly after jumping on board.She has gone on to become a mother, is now a part time student, and works for the council doing social work for youth justice.We had lots to reminisce over and laugh about, some things I wish she hadn’t reminded me of perhaps, but hey, that’s kind of the point here on DeckTales.I encourage anyone to be able to laugh at the past, and this is perhaps one of the only episodes where you might hear some of the more embarrassing moments from my early adult years.ABOUT THE HOSTSam wrote the comedic memoir ‘Seems Like Smooth Sailing’ back in March 2020, and was published on the first day of lock-down at the start of the Covid 19 pandemic.This was a bit of a slap in the face at first, because it was the first time since pre World War 2 that you couldn’t book to go on a cruise, and because of the deadly viral outbreak no-one particularly wanted to either.This provided Sam with plenty of food for thought, as it made him wonder how the cruise lines would handle the situation, look after their guests and crew, and also get the business back on track.After much back and forth drafting his second book detailing all his findings, Sam decided to put his writing on hold, as he thought a podcast would be the best way to get some clarity on a lot of what he had read and researched.The idea developed into a show that became a deep dive into the industry like never before, and finally, DeckTales was born!Get in touch with stories of your own to be a guest on DeckTales by sending an email to: [email protected] clips of all conversations and the full length audio episodes can be found at the following:linktr.ee/decktalesDon't forget to share like and follow.It’s greatly appreciated as it helps others find us a lot easier.Enjoy! Get Your Copy Of 'Seems Like Smooth Sailing' here Hosted on Acast.
