The queen of disco, Gloria
Gaynor, also performed to an electric crowd, where
guests danced to some of her greatest hits including "I Will
Survive."
Performances from local Seattle
talent included rapper and music producer Sir Mix-a-Lot,
b-boy crew Massive Monkees, and the Northwest Tap Connection, a
youth program with a mission to provide quality dance and job
opportunities to under-served communities. Also in the talent
lineup was rapper Tone Loc, Steve
Harwell of Smash Mouth, violin duo Sons of Mystro, the
Molly Callinan Band and Wally Palmar of the Romantics.
On board talent also participated in the day's events with
performances by the Jersey Boys, ¡HAVANA! and the Beatles cover
band, with each venue hosted by Norwegian cruise directors and
members of Elvis Duran and The
Morning Show.
"What an extraordinary day it has been," said Andy Stuart, president and chief executive
officer of Norwegian Cruise Line. "To have Elvis, Train,
Gloria Gaynor, Sir Mix-a-Lot and
local talent from Seattle help
celebrate the christening of Norwegian Bliss, demonstrates our
commitment to entertainment and unrivaled guest experiences."
Earlier in the day Norwegian's senior director of guest
experiences and innovation, Simon
Murray, and Tom Norwalk,
president and chief executive officer of Visit Seattle, hosted an
intimate event on one of the top decks honoring the continued
partnership between Norwegian Cruise Line and the Port of
Seattle. After a performance by
Northwest Tap Connection, two skydivers descended over Norwegian
Bliss bearing banners – "#NorwegianBliss" and "Norwegian Bliss."
Shortly after, Andy Stuart dropped
in for a surprise appearance to present the local group with a
donation of $10,000, representing the
company's continued support for the city and its community.
Norwegian Bliss will cruise seven-day voyages to Alaska from Seattle beginning June
2 and then in October she will sail select voyages to the
Mexican Riviera from Los Angeles.
For her fall/winter season, she will sail to the Eastern
Caribbean from Miami and in 2019; she will sail from
New York City to the Bahamas and Florida, the Southern and Western Caribbean.
