During their visit to Carnival’s Miami headquarters, Patterson, Hyatt and Brewer received a special behind-the-scenes tour by Vice President of Trade Sales and Marketing Adolfo Perez followed by lunch with President Christine Duffy and Executive Vice President of Sales and Guest Services Lynn Torrent. Later that evening, the winners enjoyed dinner at a local restaurant with members of the Carnival sales team.
