letter from the publisher
Dear Friends and partners,

the book celebrates the ports that have hosted this important event since it began in 1994, and looks forward to some significant future developments. It also reflects on two decades of the cruise industry working with destinations and businesses, and examines the remarkable evolution of cruising itself. these last 20 years have brought significant change to the industry, and I think you’ll be fascinated as you recall the differences between then and now. Onboard media is proud that our sister company, Onboard.com, was selected to present this book. we’ve enjoyed working with the Florida-caribbean cruise association on various projects in the last several years and have come to admire its contributions to the cruise industry. we’re excited at the chance to tell the conference story. may this custom publication serve as a treasured keepsake of the conference’s first 20 years—and here’s to the next 20! Sincerely,
Sarah Beth Reno president Onboard media
