3. What service industry has impressed you the most with its innovativeness?
VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW




Our vote goes to cruise lines which have introduced such onboard innovations as wa

ve machines for belly boarding and rock climbing walls, as well as all sorts of other
VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW VW



amenities tokeep cruisers involved. The industry is doing record business as well.
