Stories from the lower decks

HI beautiful people
First, thank you to the admins of this forum for creating a space where cruise lovers can hang out virtually and share their experiences and thoughts.
My name is Clement, a former employee on cruise ships and one of the creators of seamanstories.com.
After years of working on ships and answering questions about the "mysterious" life below deck, we decided to create a platform where past and present employees will answer those questions through their stories, interviews, blogs, and other cruise-related content that gives access to a whole different and exciting world.
Our goal with this project is to shed light on what it's really like to work in the cruise industry while at the same time helping the former employees in need from whom we buy the stories.
Now, we are just starting and our funds for promotion are nonexistent, so, with the permission from the admin team, we want to let you know that we exist.
If you like the idea, support us by reading our content. It would mean the world to us, the small team behind seamanstories.com, and the crew members we work with!

Thank you!

I thought Fodors was generally against using the forum to drive traffic to other sites?

If you also post parts of your blog here, they usually allow a link.

Truthfully, I am baffled by this post. The original poster has already been told he has not provided a link. So if you have one, let’s see it.

A link was provided, it just isn't 'clickable' since he is a brand new member and can't post 'live' url's. But mlgb has already explained to SeamanStories that he should post actual content and not just solicit traffic to the site.

Thank you. I tried to google search for that website. No dice.
If the OP is trying to solicit traffic to another site why keep this post in?

Thank you! Good reading I hope.

The first guy who was interviewed, the man from Macedonia seemed to be a cool guy. it was a good read. More to follow I think.

This is the behind the background information I like.

Welcome Aboard Clement,
Fodors and other related forums need more 'bloggage' like this, ones that reveal the realities of travel.
I am done. the lower decks
