I purchased this book because I was curious about life aboard a cruise ship. While Micha's job had benefits not available to most of the crew, his story was very interesting, nonetheless, and offered glimpses of the lives of the rest of the crew. I enjoyed the book and will pass it along to my cruise loving brother.
"Excellent Book"
After being a passenger on 9 cruises i've always thought what it would be like to have what many consider the dream job. Recently i've been taking the right steps toward getting the "Dream Job". Along my research I came across Micha's book and truely loved it. It really made things clear of what I will be getting into. Some things worse and some things much better than I expected. This book is very entertaining. I picked it up and finished it in one night. I hope that I get to share my experiences one day the way Micha did to future workers or cruisers. By being very truthful in this book Micha did not sway my decision of getting a shipboard job at all. He just gave me a better view of what I'll be getting into and I thank him for that.
A must read for anyone thats ever been on a cruise or is looking to go.

A fun and entertaining book! It's cool to read about what goes on behind-the-scenes on a cruise ship, especially after having been on a cruise as a passenger.
"Cruising ...."
I grew up in the "Love Boat" generation which left an indelible impression of the cruise ship as the ultimate vacation. Permanent Passenger was a satisfying read, as Micha Berman's experience as Activities Director revealed the inner workings of the cruise experience, that no passenger would have access to otherwise. His writing was engaging; I was a fellow traveler with him at every episode -- enjoying the erstwhile efforts of the crew to make it all come together on the type of voyage I've never actually taken myself. Thanks, Micha, for giving me a chance to be on the Love Boat!!!
