About the author

Born in 1972 in Chertsey (South of England), Michelle grew up in the North of England, in South Yorkshire. A dancer from the age of 6 with Gillian Banks Dancing School, Michelle began teaching at 12 and compiling show and exam music for by 16. By 22, she was already a professional DJ.

A solo traveller on her first cruise, Michelle made the leap to working on ships at 36 with P&O Cruises as an Entertainment Officer/DJ crewmember. Leaving behind a secure position she’d held for 8 years, Michelle soon after secured a contractual DJ position for Princess Cruises as a Guest Entertainer.

Happily settled on land, Michelle is by day, an IT Technician and DJ at sea/on land by night, promoting her book wherever possible. Michelle was invited to speak at her local library where she offered a Q&A session and a good night was had by all.

Reviews

[Martin Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very thorough and practical, readable guide for anybody thinking about a life on luxury cruise liner's.

Well researched and first hand nitty gritty accounts of an exciting job at sea.

I have previously thought about spending some time traveling but all the other guide books and websites I have seen ask you for loads of money to reveal some type of secret way into the industry, not so with Michelle's book.

Easily the best book about ship life on the market.
