Join former cruise ship entertainer Sammy Catling on a podcast like no other.
Delving into the best and worst experiences of crew from all walks of life, DeckTales is the best place to listen to true accounts from people during their time spent at sea! 🌊
Sam went on to write the comedic memoir 'Seems Like Smooth Sailing', which was published on the first day of lock-down at the start of the Covid 19 pandemic.
This was a bit of a slap in the face at first, because it was the first time since pre World War 2 that you couldn't book a cruise even if you wanted, and because of the deadly Corona virus, no-one particularly wanted to either. ⚓️
This provided Sam with plenty of food for thought, as it made him wonder how the cruise lines would handle the situation, and how they would look after their guests and crew.
After much back and forth drafting his second book,
Sam decided to put his writing on hold, and that a podcast would be the best way to get some clarity on a lot of what he had read and researched.
So with that, DeckTales was born! 🛳

I connected with Steff through social media, whilst she was stranded ashore in her home country of the Dominican Republic, sandwiched between her first ever and second cruise ship contracts.
She is the first person from the galley I've had the pleasure of speaking to on DeckTales, and she filled me in on all things such as how she managed to get herself onboard, how her first experience went, what she made of ship dating life, how she coped with a wardrobe malfunction mid service and much more.
Enjoy!
