PEMBROKE PINES, Fla., Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Cruise line executives, presidents and CEOs will serve as table and evening hosts for the FCCA's 20^th annual Gala Dinner Entertainment Extravaganza—an unforgettable night complete with dinner, cocktail reception, art auction and the opportunity for those wanting to do business with the cruise industry to interact with some of its top decision makers.

On Wednesday, March 12, 2014, after another long, productive day at Cruise Shipping Miami at the Miami Beach Convention Center, the event and evening will begin with a 90-minute cocktail reception. Here you can meet and mingle with cruise line CEOs, presidents and executives from operations, tours, itinerary planning, marketing and every other aspect of the cruise industry.

A silent art auction—with a collection of magnificent artwork from Park West Galleries—will also take place. Guests can bid on fine art for a good cause and price while enjoying an engaging atmosphere and the chance to talk business and art over drinks and hors d'oeuvres.

The evening's main event is the dinner. Tickets comes with your choice of table host, each an executive of a Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association Member Line. But more than admission, tickets offer a night of free-flowing dinner discussion with hosts that decide where ships go and what's sold onboard. And cruise line presidents and/or CEOs will host private tables, offering a unique opportunity to showcase destinations or products as a team and make the greatest impact at the FCCA Gala.

The Gala—sponsored by Port Everglades and PortMiami—will benefit the FCCA Foundation, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the non-profit, charitable organization. Created in 1993, the Foundation funds humanitarian causes in the Caribbean and Latin America. Numerous worthy projects receive funding each year throughout the FCCA Foundation. Most recently, the FCCA Holiday Gift Project brought presents, holiday festivities and smiles to the faces of nearly 7,000 underprivileged children throughout the Caribbean and Latin America.
