As a bonus, you gain access to a live diary that a cruise employee will write during his upcoming 7-month contract (starting in the second half of April 2026). And you won’t just be a reader. Often, the crew member will post polls about his daily choices — and the community’s vote will determine what happens next.
The rights to this diary are fully secured, and access is limited to those who purchase The Ultimate Cruise Bundle.
Please note: The crew member will not engage in any activities that compromise his safety, reveal his identity, or violate cruise line rules or policies.
The diary will be posted daily in the official Cruise Unlocked Facebook group and, once completed, will be delivered as a single PDF e-book to all group members.
Your request to join the Facebook group will be approved a few days before the crew member begins writing the diary, and you will be notified via Facebook and email.
Zlatko Simovski (The Cruise Insider)
"I’m a former employee aboard cruise ships, and I’ve seen enough. I spent years watching you step onto the ship—to celebrate, to heal, to reconnect, or to finally take the trip you promised yourself you’d do “one day”—only to spend half your vacation stressed, lost, or arguing over things you couldn’t have known.
And if you ever met me onboard, you immediately knew you had an ally on the ship. I loved the travel, but what I loved more was the relief in your eyes when I was able to help you get it right.
Today, I may no longer be able to do the job I loved most, but I’m more aware than ever that I only had that job because of you and people like you who choose to spend their vacation on a cruise. I’m still on your side, turning my years at sea into your advantage. Now, you’re the one in control."

Frequently Asked Questions
The guide is built on my firsthand experience and insights from friends working across various departments onboard. The fact that, combined, we have spent over 90 years at sea, and we have (countless times) seen every possible mistake cruisers make, gives me the confidence that this guide—together with the diary, the cruise planner, and the packing checklist—is the gateway to the ultimate cruise experience.
This bundle is ideal for first-time cruisers as well as seasoned ones looking to take their cruise experience to the next level.
All products are digital and delivered as PDF files. After purchasing, you can download all four files immediately from the order confirmation page. For your convenience, ClickBank will also send a confirmation email containing your official receipt and a link to access your downloads at any time.

That's because they complement each other, and only together do they provide the best value.
Both the planner and checklist are printable and can be reused for every cruise, helping you stay organized and fully prepared each time.
In honor of my friend Agung, one of the best people I ever worked with on ships, and the 65 million others worldwide living with limb loss, I have removed page 65 from the books and the cruise planner.
This small gesture is about empathy, respect, and humanity, and I’m only interested in sharing my work with those who value the same.
