MIRAMAR, FLORIDA – The World, Residences at Sea, recognized its top port agents and travel partners from across the globe on Sunday, March 9, 2014 at the company’s 7th annual Celebration of Excellence awards dinner. Held at the home of President and CEO Tom McAlpin, honorees enjoyed a Caribbean-themed, family-style barbecue amid a gorgeous South Florida sunset, the perfect backdrop for the outdoor event.
