Praise for Carol's talks
Gary Knopp (Phoenix, Arizona)*: “I heard Carol Baxter speak several times on a three-week Crystal cruise. Her talks are nothing short of verbal page-turners. She tells tales as a master storyteller: from the heart and full of color. Once you leave the room, you can’t wait for the next one to begin.”
Howard and Shelley Snell, Crystal World Cruisers*: “Carol is dynamic, interactive and full of energy. Every single moment of her storytelling was carefully crafted and kept the audience engaged and inspired.”
The entertainment administrator on Royal Caribbean's “Top End” cruise (February 2020) reported that attendees wanted to know which other cruises she was speaking on so they could book those cruises.
And then Covid struck ... However, she returned to cruise ship enrichment speaking late in 2023 and has added writing lessons to her repertoire.
