The Florida Caribbean Cruise Association and Norwegian Cruise Line also held a Christmas party today - but instead of the aged, they invited the young. Deserving children from 8 schools gathered in the Tourism Village to celebrate the holidays with the staff of the Norwegian Pearl. The kids were treated to food and drinks as well as toys courtesy of NCL. The Norwegian Pearl's Entertainment Director, Juan Carlos Sanchez, told us more...

"Right now we are having our annual gift giving program which is a collaboration between Norwegian Cruise Lines crew members as well as the FCCI making sure that we are giving back to our community."

"Who is benefitting from this? You know you are giving away toys, who are you giving them to and where do the toys comes from?"
Juan Carlos Sanchez, Dir., of Entertainment - Norwegian Pearl
"Basically it's benefiting the children. We have 8 different schools that are very well represented in today's event and all of the toys and the gifts that were collected are through the efforts of the staff and crew of Norwegian and of course the FCCI as well. This is a joint collaboration making sure that we give back to our children. Most of the crew members comes from different parts of the world and we are not able to spend Christmas at home, so this is a very good opportunity for us to be a part of someone else's family and I believe that this year it's an amazing year for us because we are giving an opportunity to be a part of these children's lives even in our own little humble way."
