description: Why do people take cruises? What do people do on a big boat in the middle of nowhere? Is cruising just a slow ride to shopping malls in exotic places? Is there romance and adventure on the high seas? Most importantly, what time is the midnight buffet? Kris and “Chester”, an unassuming couple from New Hampshire, find the answers to these questions and more on their 25th anniversary cruise. The story of their first-ever voyage became a runaway hit on CruiseCritic.com. Why? Let the “cruisecritics” tell you… “…This one has it travel tips, sentimental moments, action, gripping suspense, hilarity (hysteria?), sad goodbyes, unlikely plot turns, foreshadowing…even a pronunciation guide…”—Kraley “…To those who read and admire Bill Bryson as a travelogue writer, a new star is born. Chesterh is THE business!! Wit, humor, information…every sentence riveting…”—Venezia98 “I laughed, I cried, I called my travel agent.”—Bill “…What a wealth of information for first-time cruisers and wonderful reading for those of us already addicted…”—Bar10der421 “…I laughed out loud so often a neighbour looked over the wall to see what was happening (sat in the garden with my G&amp;T).”—Susancy (UK) Bon Voyage!
