9 Reasons Why You Should Enter To Win A Free Cruise For Every Year of Your Life.

We’re having quite a week here in New England! A massive storm graced us with more than two feet of snow; the Patriots are in the Super Bowl; and Beth and I are in Provincetown for a couple of days in a self imposed writers retreat. With so much going on this week, we wanted to make sure to remind you guys about the incredible contests Carnival is currently running, because the prizes are terrific and it would make our year if one of you won.

The Prizes:

• A Free Cruise Every Year For The Rest Of Your Life
• 100 Days of Free Cruising
• An Ocean View Cabin On a 3, 4, 7 or 10 Day Cruise

Pretty sweet, right?! What’s even better is that each is super easy to join. Trust me when I say it’s easier, and cheaper, than playing the lottery.

1. The first contest is called Take the Marketing Challenge

Carnival wants you to vote on which TV commercial you like best. There are four commercials to choose from and the winning commercial will dictate the direction they take their marketing in next year. Our favorite is the tongue in cheek Cruise Virgin commercial.

Prize: A free cruise for every year of your life! View and vote on the commercials, and you’ll be automatically entered to win. Vote here: http://www.carnivalmarketingchallenge.com This contest ends on February 1, 2015 and the winner will be selected on February 5.

2. Carnival’s second contest is called Tweet Why You Love Cruising

This one couldn’t be easier. Simply tweet why you love cruising and be sure to include @CarnivalPLC and the hashtag: #LoveCruising in your tweet. Our tweet would read something like: “I #LoveCruising for the fresh daily salad bar on board and the can’t miss hairy chest contest! @CarnivalPLC”

Prize: There will be several free cruises given away, plus one lucky participant will be selected at random to receive 100 days of free cruising to be used at their discretion. Go limber up your thumbs and get ready for some tweeting! This contest ends on February 2, 2015.

3. The third contest is called Discover Your CRUISE-A-NALITY

The cool thing about this one is that not only can you win an awesome prize, but you’ll also find out what type of cruise would best suit your personality. It’s a fun interactive cruising game rather than just a contest, which is a win, win in my book. To play, visit WorldsLeadingCruiseLines.com to take the Cruise-A-Nality quiz and enter the sweepstake at the end of the quiz. Beth got the Cruise-A-Nality called Free Spirit when she took the quiz, which was definitely accurate!

Prize: An ocean view cabin on a 3, 4, 7 or 10 day cruise. This contest ends on February 28, 2015.

Just in case you’re on the fence about joining any of these, we thought we’d give you our 9 reasons why you should. Since, we love imagery here at Beers and Beans, we picked 9 of our favorite photos from our recent Caribbean cruise to help make our case.
