Perhaps you could indicate what you might be interested in reading, such as genre/type. If you like romance, Andrew Grey has several fun stories that take place, at least in part, on a cruise (An Unexpected Vintage is one). If you're looking for something hotter, check out his The Gift and The Price.

If you want a cruise-theme book to download to your iPad or Kindle, I have enjoyed these books:

 

"The Welcome Cruise" by BJ Scott

"Men Overboard" by James Brock

"Murder on a Queen" by John Simpson & Robert Cummings

"The Ship Engineer" by Serena Yates

"Cruising Adventures" by Nicole Dennis

 

We're headed on a cruise in a couple of weeks and have some new books downloaded! Have fun and happy reading!

"A Night to Remember" is a good book. The ending isn't so hot,however!

It can be nice to read a popular, mainstream book if you want to connect with other passengers - e.g. The Help, Gone Girl, etc. And since you posted in the gay forum, maybe Close Range by E. Annie Proulx? It's the anthology that contains Brokeback Mountain.

If you want action/adventure with gay characters, try the Sanctuary series (Guarding Morgan, The Only Easy Day, Still Waters, etc.) or the Mahu Surfer books (about a gay police detective in Honolulu) by Neil S. Plakcy. I like to read books set in the places I'm visiting; I find these on Amazon by doing a search using the name of the city/country/island and it will give a lot of choices organized by genre.

I agree about the Mahu Surfer books--great series! There's a new author I've been reading, Dirk Greyson, who writes contemporary gay romance with lots of action. Knight and Day is the first book in a series, with more to come. Part of the action takes place on a cruise.

For a decent gay romantic comedy, I like Timothy James Beck's (a pseudonym for 3 gay guys and a straight gal) "Someone Like You."

 

It's one of my favorite gay books by far, and it's got a 4 star review on Good Reads dot com.
