About this episode
EP 4: Josh is an aspiring actor I met by chance a few years ago on a film set, where we discovered that we'd both worked on ships, and proceeded to discuss all things cruisy.His cruise ship career has to date been brief, but nonetheless eventful.After only a couple of contracts under his belt, he managed to land the Cruise Director position on an extremely exclusive ship that sailed to Antarctica just before the Covid Pandemic, *not the Arctic as I stupidly say in the intro...please forgive me.ABOUT THE HOSTSam 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!Get in touch with stories of your own to be a guest on DeckTales by sending an email to: decktales@hotmail.comVideo clips of all conversations and the full length audio episodes can be found at the following:linktr.ee/decktalesDon't forget to share like and follow.It’s greatly appreciated as it helps others find us a lot easier.Enjoy!
