Hello Mike!
Below is feedback I turned in today on the Celebrity Eclipse "We'd like to hear from you" form:
Michael's Albrecht's 10:00 AM presentations are excellent and most enjoyable. They add value to the cruise! This afternoon Charlotte (of Celebrity) called thanking me for my feedback saying she will include it in her report. I also expressed my wish for him to be speaking on the upcoming cruises. She explained while they have already booked speakers for those trips, he will be part of Celebrity's future voyages.
Well done!

We love these presentations! Michael is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in quite a scope of subjects. He has so much interesting information for whatever topic he covers. We got a glimpse of what it is like to be in a Cessna over the Big Bend National Park which was an amazing adventure. He gave us an interesting historic presentation on the Druids, Celts and Romans. Also, Michael has presented on the Grand Canyon, Costa Rica and our participants have loved each and every one. We look forward to participating in more presentations with Michael soon!
