Welcome back! We hope you are all surviving back to school. Thank you to everyone who sent us an update on their summer travels. Now that we are back to a regular schedule, we wanted to share our two different experiences on the Norwegian Bliss Cruise Ship. As you may recall, Kim and her family took a short media cruise on the Norwegian Bliss back in May and Tamara and her family recently sailed on the Norwegian Bliss from Seattle to Alaska. Hear what we loved (and what we didn't) and the latest and greatest Norwegian ship!
