Cruise Confidential 4: High Seas Drifter

While plying the Mediterranean on the world’s largest sailing ship, Bruns finally becomes a part of a ship family. But one of these kindred souls—perhaps the ship photographer, perhaps the chief officer—scuttles his career at sea once and for all. It wasn’t the betrayal that bothered him so much, but the lawsuits.
