Bruce and I met at the gig of a mutual friend, and when we got to talking he mentioned how he'd done a couple stints onboard ships back in the year 2000.

He worked as an Electrician, mainly tending to the needs of the entertainment team at first, but then circumstances outside his control dictated he'd have to go above and beyond his regular duties.

ABOUT THE HOST

Sam wrote the comedic memoir ‘Seems Like Smooth Sailing’ back in March 2020, and was published on the first day of lock-down at the start of the Covid 19 pandemic.

This was a bit of a slap in the face at first, because it was the first time since pre World War 2 that you couldn’t book to go on a cruise, and because of the deadly viral outbreak no-one particularly wanted to either.

This provided Sam with plenty of food for thought, as it made him wonder how the cruise lines would handle the situation, look after their guests and crew, and also get the business back on track.

After much back and forth drafting his second book detailing all his findings, Sam decided to put his writing on hold, as he thought a podcast would be the best way to get some clarity on a lot of what he had read and researched.

The idea developed into a show that became a deep dive into the industry like never before, and finally, DeckTales was born!
