Brian Hart currently lives in Holly Springs NC. He’s previously spent time in Sunnyvale CA, Celebration FL, Downingtown PA, Orlando FL, and Tampa FL. There was a year in Miami South Beach but that’s hardly worth mentioning.
His last job was as a Head of Engineering at GlossGenius, an app you should definitely get if you run a hair/nail/beauty salon. Prior to that he held engineering roles at LinkedIn, Jaunt VR, BT (British Telecom), Royal Caribbean, and Disney.
He’s blessed with a wife of 18+ years and two teenage children.
Brian Hart is a cruise travel expert who has sailed 17 voyages and 111 nights at sea since 1999, across Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea. His sailings range from quick Bahamian getaways to a 12-night one-way crossing to Greenland and Iceland and a Mediterranean voyage aboard Silversea’s Silver Spirit. A CLIA member, he is the founder of Serentis Travel, a travel advisory in the WorldVia / Travel Leaders Network, where he plans cruise vacations for clients. His industry knowledge extends behind the scenes, too: earlier in his career he built technology for cruise lines as an engineer at Disney and at Royal Caribbean.
Every voyage — ship, itinerary, ports, and stateroom — is logged in his cruise journal, and recent trips are documented day-by-day in the travel posts on this site.
