Testimonials from Viking World Cruise Guests 2025-2026 –Dot Mandala Coasters

As a teacher, Gail has a calm, confident approach and gives clear instructions. She made me feel comfortable that I could make something very nice, and that no design I did was “wrong.” I liked how she could handle a big group of talkative women in a kind way that got our attention. She’s just a happy, lovely person who loves sharing her talent, and is good at teaching others to enjoy it too. I love the Dot Mandala art I did with her. They are little treasures from my trip.     Lisa M.

Douglas and I had a wonderful time in Gail Levine’s Mandala Art Class. Gail is a patient, encouraging, and talented instructor. I would not consider myself particularly creative or artistic, yet she made me feel comfortable and confident while learning the techniques of dot art. Her teaching style is engaging, supportive, and easy to follow. She creates a fun and welcoming environment that allows participants of all skill levels to enjoy the experience and leave feeling accomplished.      Sincerely,  Douglas and Bobbie U.

She patiently guided us through each step of the creative process, making what seemed complicated feel enjoyable and achievable. Her teaching style is thoughtful, encouraging, and easy to follow, and she takes the time to ensure that every participant feels successful.  She has a remarkable gift for connecting with people and creating an atmosphere where everyone feels encouraged, regardless of their artistic experience.     Rhonda S.

I had the pleasure of attending her Dot Mandala Art class.  As a novice in all things artistic, Gail made the learning process not only easy to understand/follow but fun and relaxing all within a 60-minute session. My final piece turned out beautiful enough to display and use in my home and that’s really saying something.       Lori G.
