More Reader Reviews (from CruiseCritic.com)
- “…To those who read and admire Bill Bryson as a travelogue writer, a new star is born. Chesterh is THE business!! Wit, humor, information; no sex or violence and every sentence riveting…” Venezia98
- “…all of a sudden I am transported to a balcony at sea....enjoying the rocking, the smell of salt water and all the wonders and pleasures of cruising. Thank you Chesterh for a wonderful trip!” Shakespear
- “…This is a must-read for cruise newbies, experienced cruisers, well, anyone who can read or has someone to read it to them!!!! Please, Chesterh, take another cruise quickly so you can write another story!!!!Many, Many Thanks for a wonderful experience…” Venicecruiser
- “…Again I say, or emphatically state, that this should be required reading for all cruisers. Even us experienced ones have a lot to learn about living life in general from your prose. I for one am going to try a wave runner on our next cruise, grandkids be darned! My suggestion…Put aside whatever you are doing and fall in love all over again with what cruising is all about and with Mr. X (chesterh) and his beautiful bride Kris.” Larsen
- “…A master storyteller!!! For those who have never cruised, this will convince you to make that reservation. For those of us who have cruised, what a great way to refresh all those precious memories until we are again on board and sailing out of the harbor…” The2ofus
- “…Bravo, Bravo, Bravo…and Thank You, Chesterh…” BMW
- “…Destined to become a classic. This one has it all; travel tips, sentimental moments, action, gripping suspense, hilarity (hysteria??), sad goodbyes, unlikely plot turns, foreshadowing, and even a pronunciation guide…” Kraley
- “…I did not want it to end! We have been on 10 cruises and believe me, the feeling you portrayed is what we feel on every cruise. Thanks so much for putting those feelings in writing for us!” Perkythedog
- “…This is too great a book for anyone to miss. Everyone should read this, especially first time cruisers. It helps to answer many questions…” lbelian
- “…A Must Read Before / After / During Your Cruise!” Lyn Mc
- “…I have read travelogues of other trips but this is by far the best, most articulate and above all the most vivid of any…” Augins
- “…Destined to become a bestseller for all cruisers! I found myself right back on the ship with you as though I had never left…” Cin
- “Chesterh — you are brilliant. Your travelogue had me with you every minute…I relived all of our cruises and I am now counting minutes to our next one. I laughed out loud so often a neighbour looked over the wall to see what was happening (sat in the garden with my G&T reading your epic).” Susancy, from England
- “…Chesterh, I can't thank you enough for your wonderful travelogue! Just when I was really feeling sorry for myself because we can't afford a cruise this year, there was your "novel"! I laughed, I cried, but mostly just enjoyed the cruise with you and Kris. Believe it or not, it was so satisfying, I don't feel quite as sad about not going this year…” Tinderr
- “…Your style and humor definitely reminded me of Bill Bryson — another wonderful travel writer (who also lives in NH I believe)…” Estelle
- “…Someone…compared your writing to Bill Bryson. I, too, had the same thought since I am currently reading one of his books (A Walk in the Woods). However, I enjoyed your book even more! I also would compare you more than favorably to Tracy Kidder (who you mentioned, and who is one of my favorite authors)…” Love_the_sea
- “…this should be required reading for anyone thinking of going on a cruise…” LittleStar
- “…Thanks for taking all of us readers on a wonderful vicarious journey. I had a great time!” Crew mom
- “…I laughed and cried just reading your daily escapades — Yes, they were escapades…” JR_Janet
- “…just finished the final chapter. I feel the same way as when I finish a great novel — happy and sad at the same time! I feel as though Chester and Kris are my friends!! What a wealth of information for first-time cruisers and wonderful reading for those of us who are already addicted. Thank you soooo much…“ Bar10der421

- “…Chesterh, thanks for the cheapest cruise I ever took. It was that good…” DocJohnB
- “…My housework is undone, my work report languishes in a heap, my butt is numb, and my eyes are red but oh what a "feast" this travelogue became. It makes me proud to be a fellow New Hampshirite. I do believe there must be something in the NH air…” Mrs. Seabird

- “…It is truly spectacular and I enjoyed reading every ounce of it…” ScottieLuvr
- “Pour a Gin and Tonic and put on your seabands. Chesterh's tenderly written travelogue is to cruise travelers what Janet Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones is to those who have lost a loved one.” Jansen
- “In a word, "exemplary." It's a great read for all travel enthusiasts…Kudos, Chesterh, on your writing skill and for unabashedly yielding to the romantic within you — that earned you the expected female vote and the secure, "he's a man's man" vote, too! And kudos to Kris for agreeing to your candid, blow-by-blow revelations. No question, your tale would not be the runaway hit it has become if you hadn't shared all of the intimate details…or if you and Kris weren't so darned charming!” Artemis
