Fresh out of college and facing another icy winter in Iowa, Bob Leininger dreamed of working on a sun drenched beach in the caribbean, surrounded by bikini-clad beauties. Sounds like wishful thinking doesn’t it? Well, not to Bob. He understood early on that the reason most people fail to reach their dreams is they never take action. Even when his initial inquires proved fruitless, Bob refused to take “no openings currently available” for an answer and booked a flight to Miami, intent on setting up a face to face meeting and landing a job on a cruise ship. Weeks later he was off to sea on an adventure that would exceed his expectations and take him around the world. Bob’s entertaining story of success is special not only because he achieved his dream, but because he learned that happiness isn’t found, it’s created, even on the days when the sun isn’t shinning. For the past twenty six years Bob Leininger has been living his dream, working aboard cruise ships and literally cruising through life. Bob has a knack for making strangers feel like instant friends and everyone knows him calls him, “Big Bob.” His booming voice and towering height easily qualify him for the nickname, but it’s Bob’s generosity of spirit, abundant positivity and ready sense of humor that make him larger than life. In this book, Bob shares stories from his decades at sea and reveals all about the cruise industry. He also shares the life lessons he learned along the way which are of benefit to everyone. If you’re looking for an entertaining behind the scenes peek at the world of cruising or just a fun and fascinating read, this is it!
