Creator's Key Takeaways

It's our first time in Seattle, so it's another state ticked off the list.

We've done a number of Norwegian boats before, but we've never done the Bliss.

It's actually pretty roomy for a cruise ship shower to be honest.

The prices seem to be really expensive. But you know what? I think one of these times we may do that.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own conditioner or lotion as the cabin does not provide them.
Bring a USB outlet adapter if you have a USBC cord, as the outlets are US style.
Consider bringing an extension cord and surge protector for additional outlets.
