".. one of the absolute highlights of the cruise was attending the lectures given by Steven Rivellino. To say that myself and others were pleased with Mr. Rivellino's presentations would by an absolute understatement. ... I have attended many lectures on Crystal Cruises and I must say that Mr. Rivellino's captured my interest like no other. I only wish he could have been scheduled for more!"
