The MVAIC Corpration produces an employee appreciation cruise that everyone remembers.

The "tropical theme" was implemented and guests received novelty items including Hawaiian leis and maracas.

In keeping with the theme, a refreshing juice bar turned out exotic drinks.

Luncheon satisfied every palette. There are carving stations, linguini with clam sauce, gnocchi with fresh basil sauce, filet-mignon, an enormous salad bar and a decorative Viennese dessert table.

Lucky guests had their names called in raffles for prizes including cameras, ipods, and gift certificates.
