Creator's Key Takeaways
I've made a career traveling the world. I've worked for some of the biggest names in travel and now I've traded in my business suit for a swimsuit.
Seattle, it's one of top cities to cruise from and Norwegian has a history of 22 years offering voyages out of Seattle.
The Haven on board Norwegian Bliss is hidden at the top of the ship. It features the most luxurious well-appointed accommodations as well as 24-hour butler service, concierge service, and private sund deck.
The more I travel the world, the more I appreciate how our similarities far exceed our differences.
