Book Details
Nightmare at Sea
Although the title of this book is of a fictitious ship, these unpleasant events were inspired by incidents that occurred aboard a once, highly reputed luxury cruise ship. The examples given in Dark Ship, of incompetency, negligence, and mismanagement were rampant. Experienced travelers with this cruise line, recognized these shortcomings, and were thoroughly disappointed with the downfall of a once, well-run organization. Prior to this disappointing cruise, this writer pleasantly experienced an enjoyable cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s, Symphony of the Seas. The differences were profound. The Symphony, with 6000 passengers, is presently the largest ship afloat. It berths more than twice the number of passengers than Dark Ship. It was run in a far more efficient manner. I think Dark Ship’s cruise line would be well served if they employed many of the procedures as the Symphony of the Seas.
