  1. Rather than write a book review, the latest post on The Witterings of a Cruise Ship Reader Website is a look at the impact that Covid 19 has had on the cruising industry. 

    Visit our website (addresss shown in the photo below) to see what Covid has done to the industry we all love so much and how it may affect the enjoyment of many going forward in the future.

  2. During this lockdown it’s given me a chance to catch up on writing a few book reviews to help you find some good holiday/lockdown reads.

  3. Sadly with the spread of Covid-19 around the world, most of the cruise ships have been taken out of service and many of us find ourselves in lockdown and isolated in our homes to stop the spread. 

    That however gives us a great excuse to read books more and therefore I’ve just published not one, not two but three new book reviews on The Witterings of a Cruise Ship Reader website for you to have a look at. 

    Also take the time to let all of our group members know what you are reading to get your through these tough times. 

    Have a look at the reviews at the website below to see if the books could be a good read for you and also remember .......

    Stay Safe !

  7. One of the most read books in 2018 around the world was The Tattooist Of Auschwitz by Heather Morris and if you were on a cruise last year you will have seen many of your fellow passengers reading it.
