ABOUT DECKTALES
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. âš“
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!

SUPPORT THE SHOW
Every Little Helps!
I started DeckTales to offer people a platform where they could share their stories free from judgement.
Moving forward as the show grows, it's my ambition to one day work with ocean friendly companies to sponsor the show, and to be able to give something back towards charities important to me like coral reef restoration and the ocean plastic clean-up efforts etc.
With your help, I can make this become a reality.
