“Richard Detrich delivered very educational, entertaining, engaging and thoughtful presentations. There should be more such daily events.”

“Dr. Detrich was honest and forthright in his comments and certainly wasn’t selling tours. We took particular note of his negative view of Casablanca (turned out to be true) and his prediction of the long lineups for St. Peter’s in Rome (also true). This information was very helpful in choosing our shore excursions.” Cruise Critic

“Detrich was actually informative without trying to give a sales pitch for either tours or shopping. (My travel companion summed it up when she said, “He doesn’t give you the hard sell, but at the end of the presentation, you want to go on all the tours.”) He was the most useful source for destination information onboard. . . “ Erica Silverstein, Senior Editor Cruise Critic

“Dr Richard Detrich … He loves sharing his passion with passengers during entertaining lectures and informal “chats” around the ship.” Robin Robinson, TORONTO SUN
