Guide Review - Book Review -- What Time Is the Midnight Buffet?
Chester kept a detailed cruise diary from the time they started planning the anniversary cruise through the vacation and their ultimate return home. Having never cruised before, Kris and Chester felt many of the same uncertainties and trepidations we all felt on our first cruise. He has shared the entire experience in this entertaining book. I felt like I was along on the cruise as Kris and Chester visited Key West, Cozumel, Belize, and the Bahamas.
Along with the travelogue, Chester shares his accident-prone nature, which just makes the book more entertaining. During the cruise, he was attacked by a sliding glass door and almost left behind by the ship while locked in a building, but he still had a wonderful time!
