Cruising Interrupted is the follow-up to The Joy of Cruising www.thejoyofcruising.net, a cruise fan favorite that shared the fascinating stories of why and how passionate cruisers cruise. Cruising Interrupted was originally titled More Joy of Cruising which was half-complete when the pandemic hit; then I became adrift (see what I did there). The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting no-sail lockdown sidelined my passion for cruising: annual grandkids cruise canceled; a bucket list Mediterranean 28th wedding anniversary cruise deferred. My passion for writing was likewise derailed. Fortunately, my spirits were buoyed on social media and via the vast network of passionate cruisers who can’t wait for cruising, and it looks like the industry is cautiously bouncing back.

The tenor of the book changed somewhat; it is critical Cruising Interrupted acknowledge and reflect on the pandemic’s impact on cruising but it is still primarily a fun, upbeat view of why we cruise.

Cruising Interrupted is dedicated to the millions of souls and their loved ones who lost their lives to COVID, particularly the dozens who succumbed on a cruise.
