TeaBag Posted November 6, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have not been on a cruise to Alaska yet, but I keep hearing over and over again About Brent Nixon, the naturalist on Celebrity. I believe he was on the Mercury this past season and was said to be outstanding. Perhaps someone who has heard him can correct me if I have the wrong ship.

Drew B Posted November 6, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 6, 2006 We had a great naturalist when I went. She did five different lectures: 1. Humpback whales 2. Glaciers 3. Orcas 4. Other Alaskan Wildlife (eagles, bears, moose, wolves, etc.) 5. Salmon They were a high point of the cruise for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckylady1 Posted November 7, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yes Brent Nixon was the naturalist on Mercury this past season. I didn't get a chance to hear him but my son who is a teacher thought he was absolutely wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingo21401 Posted November 7, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I think Brent was the naturalist onboard for our Alaska 2004 Infinity trip. We sailed from San Francisco to Vancouver. If he is there you should go to his lectures. He was so enthusiastic. His bear lecture was very informative and entertaining. Apparently the had him tone his excitement down for his video.

Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 8, 2006 #7 Share Posted November 8, 2006 On Infinity May 2006 cruise they had Sabin Robbins of the National Geographic Society. IMHO he was the worse lecturer I have ever heard. On the brighter side - at various points including Hubbard Glacier they brought aboard some native americans who gave one of the best dissertations I have had tthe opportunity to listen to.
