Books set on cruise ships/yachts

[Anonymous]

Looking for something light and fun to read on vacation. Would really love something about characters working on a cruise ship, but will also consider a good story about cruise/yacht passengers. Any recommendations?

I haven't read it (yet) but The Floating Feldmans is about a family on a cruise.

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware is not a fun book. It is a whodunit. But it is set on a cruise ship.

The Unsinkable Greta James by Jennifer E. Smith.

Not the lightest of light reads since it deals with grieving, but it's not too heavy and overall a good ready.

The main character goes on a cruise with her father, taking the place of her mother who passes away. It was meant to be a special anniversary (birthday?) trip. If I remember correctly there are other adults on the trip who were couple friends of the father and deceased mother.

Okay, so the part about being light and fun is what people may have missed. This one is a novella that's a mystery, but there's a lot of humor in it!

A little off the mark from your request (sailing not cruising) but try “Float Plan” by Trish Doller. It’s a rom-com about a woman who decides to sail across the Carribbean which was the dream of her former fiance who died by suicide. It’s got some grieving parts that are handled well and it’s super enjoyable with a great ending.

I was about to post about this book, too. I really enjoyed it and have recommended it to friends who felt the same. Great balance of light and substantive.
