Product Description
Cruise Ship Doctor rollicks with the outrageous antics of Oliver Loring, M.D., a Harvard emergency physician, amorous bachelor, and an expert ballroom dancer, who takes a gig in the Caribbean on the grandest, most legendary cruise ship on the high seas, the S/S Nordic Blue. Loring rides the tropical waves with a highly eccentric group of passengers and wacky crew members, while he pursues Ulla von Straf, a melancholy and elusive Austrian ballerina. For this ?Valentine TV Cruise,? the Nordic Blue hosts Farrelly Farrell, a popular ?reality TV? personality, who televises the cruise around the world and exposes frenetic on-board encounters for the cameras. With the talented but neurotic Loring at the center of the turmoil, a tension-filled climax erupts with stunning effects. Call it ?Monty Python? meets ?The Love Boat? or ?Ship of Fools on Dexedrine,? this hilarious sea adventure offers a rousing behind-the-scenes romp through the Caribbean with farcical confrontations and delightful international characters ? all of it laced with a tantalizing soupcon of the metaphysical.

 Great fun armchair cruising March 31, 2004
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Nearly a laugh out loud romp around a not so typical cruise ship week. There are plenty of descriptive true references to a real cruise ship and the cruising experience to make any cruiser feel at home. But after that, the trip sails into uncharted waters. The characters are quirky and fun, the plot a few degrees off the compass center leaving the reader never certain what direction you are headed in. Don't bother taking the trouble to pack a suitcase, just sit in the sun somewhere and enjoy this armchair trip!

I just finished a GREAT book!: "Cruise Ship Doctor" by Gerry Yukevich! It was thoroughly enjoyable, fun to read, and
I am sorry it ended. In it, you will learn to love and appreciate the mambo, piano music, bengal tigers, sun over the caribbean, the garden of Eden, and life. Zest for life is Gerry's middle name: when you finish this, you will want to go out, dance and sing!
