On or about April 17, 2009, Promotion Mechanics, Inc., an independent judging organization, will conduct the two random drawings:  one from among all eligible Host entries received and one from among all eligible Guest entries received.  Each drawing will award one (1) prize consisting of the winner’s choice of one of the following 7 day Carnival® cruises:  Carnival Splendor® from Los Angeles, CA; Carnival Pride® from Baltimore, MD; Carnival Valor® from Miami, FL; or Carnival Triumph® from New Orleans, LA.  Each cruise will be for the winner and one (1) guest and includes one Interior stateroom.  Approximate retail value of each prize is $1769.  Any difference between stated and actual value will not be awarded.  Cruise includes ship accommodations (one Interior stateroom, double occupancy, category 4A), ocean transportation, select meals, select beverages, and select entertainment aboard the vessel. All other costs and expenses not listed herein are the winner’s sole responsibility.  Cruise does not include transportation to the port of embarkation.  Cruise must be taken between November 1, 2009 and November 1, 2010, or winner will forfeit the prize in its entirety.  Travel restrictions, conditions, and limitations apply.  Each winner and his/her guest are responsible for any travel documents (such as a passport and visa) required for their travel.

Prizes will be awarded in the form of a Carnival® Cruise Certificate ("Certificate").  Booking instructions, as listed on the certificate, shall apply.  Winners agree to accept booking instructions and all terms and conditions of use listed on the Certificate.  The Certificate is valid for new bookings only, is not transferable and may not be given, bartered, sold, or exchanged for cash or another prize.  No guest under twenty-one (21) will be booked in a stateroom unless accompanied by a person who is twenty-five (25) years or older.  A parent or legal guardian must accompany all guests under the age of eighteen (18).  Married couples who do not meet these age restrictions may, at Carnival’s discretion, be permitted to sail.  Winner and guest must sign Carnival’s passenger ticket contract prior to being allowed to board.  Taxes and fees are additional and are the responsibility of the cruise recipient.  Winner must book the cruise at least 60 days prior to sailing.  All staterooms, particular cruises, and particular destinations are subject to availability, and any bookings which would require travel during any holidays, special events, inaugural or charter sailings, are excluded.

Prizes will be awarded subject to these official rules and may not be sold or combined with any other offer.  No prize substitution will be made except as provided herein at the Sponsor’s sole discretion.  If Cruise is cancelled by Sponsor after ticketing of prize, for any reason, Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value.  Any unused component of the prize has no redeemable cash value, the remaining components shall constitute full satisfaction of Sponsor’s obligation to the winner and no additional compensation will be awarded.  Sponsor reserves the right to substitute the prize for one of comparable or greater value if the designated prize should become unavailable for any reason.

Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received for each drawing.
