Rating: 4.5/5
“Seems Like Smooth Sailing” by the author Sam Catling is a comedy memoir about the ups and downs of working on-board a cruise ship as an entertainer. The introduction itself caught my attention. There was a point in my life when I felt that I am achieving nothing by working so hard. So, I felt relatable and got much interested to read the book further. Sam was diagnosed multiple times with ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder).
In 2006, when her nan returned from a trip, she told Sam to try for the job of cruise ship entertainment host. Sam took her suggestion and he got the job as well. During his training he learnt different things like crowd control management, types of fire and way to extinguish them, survival techniques at sea, etc. There were so many challenges and learning experience that came to Sam’s way during his job.
The book is written in a first person. Reading this book was an amazing experience and it made me laugh at some incidents. Language of the book is simple and easy to understand. I really appreciate storytelling skills of Sam.
This book took me down the memory lane and reminded me of my trip when I went on a cruise once. It was a short and smooth read and I enjoyed reading this book. I definitely recommend it to my fellow readers especially to those who love reading memoirs.
