Fresh out of college and facing another icy winter in Iowa, Bob Leininger dreamed of working on a sun drenched beach in the caribbean, surrounded by bikini-clad beauties. Sounds like wishful thinking doesn’t it? Well, not to Bob. He understood early on that the reason most people fail to reach their dreams is they never take action. Even when his initial inquires proved fruitless, Bob refused to take “no openings currently available” for an answer and booked a flight to Miami, intent on setting up a face to face meeting and landing a job on a cruise ship. Weeks later he was off to sea on an adventure that would exceed his expectations and take him around the world. Bob’s entertaining story of success is special not only because he achieved his dream, but because he learned that happiness isn’t found, it’s created, even on the days when the sun isn’t shinning. For the past twenty six years Bob Leininger has been living his dream, working aboard cruise ships and literally cruising through life. Bob has a knack for making strangers feel like instant friends and everyone knows him calls him, “Big Bob.” His booming voice and towering height easily qualify him for the nickname, but it’s Bob’s generosity of spirit, abundant positivity and ready sense of humor that make him larger than life. In this book, Bob shares stories from his decades at sea and reveals all about the cruise industry. He also shares the life lessons he learned along the way which are of benefit to everyone. If you’re looking for an entertaining behind the scenes peek at the world of cruising or just a fun and fascinating read, this is it!

After graduating College, Bob bought a round trip ticket to Miami; determined to get a job on cruise ships. He never used the return ticket. Like many successful people, Bob started his business life with only a basic education behind him, no money and no mentor. How did he achieve so much in only a few years in one of the most competitive of travel industries? How did he become one of the youngest cruise directors in the business? Why was he selected to be one of the staff for 3 prestigious maiden voyages? How did he become cruise director of the world’s most exclusive floating resort? For the very same reasons he has become a sought after speaker on people, persistence and success. Bob can reveal his trail of trials, tribulations and triumphs at your next luncheon, conference, workshop or after-dinner occasion in his unique, dynamic, inspirational and straight forward style. After over 25 years of traveling the world and meeting all kinds of people, I am happy to share my experiences with you in "Cruising Through Life"...Enjoy
