There's no denying that ocean cruises have become increasingly popular vacations over the past few years. From cruises to Alaska, the Mediterranean and everything in between, the choices are endless. But with all the options available, how do you know if a cruise vacation is right for you? Author Richard Holleran and his wife Kris decided to take the leap and embark on their first cruise in celebration of their 25th wedding anniversary. However, the ten-day Caribbean jaunt wasn't planned without a great deal of trepidation—would a cruise actually be fun, or would it just be an extremely slow way to get to destinations that were nothing more than touristy shopping malls? Holleran spent a great deal of time researching cruises by visiting message boards and surfing the Internet, and he shares that knowledge in What Time Is the Midnight Buffet? Writing under the nickname "ChesterH," Holleran conveys his cruising experiences in a fun and humorous manner that will help you decide if your next vacation should include an adventure on the high seas.
