The Festivities:

It’s the maiden voyage for the USS Gigantic and a festive mood pervades the air. From the Captain and crew, down to each of the invited guests (all of whom are the bosses and employees of leading travel agencies), all are anticipating a pleasurable experience during the week-long excursion from Miami to the Virgin Islands aboard the state of the art cruise ship.

Unfortunately, as they gather for the initial celebratory banquet, none are aware that someone onboard has other plans which might force a change in course…o9ne that will lead them directly into the path of murder.
