I’m fortunate to have a “retirement” job that has taken me all over the world, lecturing on luxury cruise ships of Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Silversea Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Oceania Cruises, American Cruise Line, and Pearl Seas Cruises. I have made two round the World Cruises with Princess.  I’ve talked to guests on over 312 ports world-wide giving them information about the culture, history, things to see and do, and safety helping them to get the most out of their adventures ashore.
