You'll be surrounded by a spectacular English drawing room complete with gargoyles, secret panels and outrageous characters. Nothing will be as it seems as the innocent ones become part of the action.
You'll
converse with the family...and friends (or are they?) as the celebration begins. But, someone has something else on their mind...MURDER! An interrogation by you, the witnesses, will help solve the crime. Who will commit the dastardly deed? Watch closely...and figure out WHO-DUNNIT!
POST-CONFERENCE TOURS
Carnival Cruise Lines
You'll be traveling to the Bahamas for three or four day cruises aboard the FANTASY, a "Fun Ship"™ SuperLiner so large it even has a six-story atrium lobby.
Sailing from Port Canaveral with its spa, casino, clubs, lounges and showroom, it's a resort destination in itself.
Premier Cruises
Cape Canaveral, Florida is home base for the Big Red Boat. This is great for two reasons. First, the ship sails 3 and 4-night cruises to exciting Nassau and Port Lucaya, in
the Bahamas. Second, Cape Canaveral is only a short one hour drive from all the fun of Orlando, Florida. When you combine the two, the result is the vacation of a lifetime for you and your family!
Like all Premier ships, the Big Red Boat will take you to fascinating places, where you'll have a fantastic time. The ship is an amazing destination too! Ready for a quick tour of the Big Red Boat?
