Hi Elizabeth, unfortunately I cannot give our emails, and he is a Seabourn employee. But you can contact Seabourn reservations and ask for him: 1‐877‐932‐4259.
Hi Julie, Thank you so much for your response. The reason I wanted to contact Mr. Kimmel
is I would like to give a recommendation for an employee who is being terminated. I have a lot of respect for this employee and would like to help if possible.
My question is, does Mr. Kimmel still hold the Resource position at Holland America. I noticed that there was a time that he held positions both at Holland America and at Seabourne.
He is just Seabourn. If someone is being terminated there’s usually just cause. But your desire to help if possible is very nice!
