MIAMI, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival
Cruise Lines, which is not only the world's most popular cruise
line on the sea but also online, will celebrate having reached the
3 million Facebook fans mark by conducting a 24-hour Fun-A-Thon
prize giveaway beginning Wednesday, Nov.
19. The online extravaganza will feature three prize
giveaways every three hours, including free Carnival cruise
vacations and more.
The giveaway, which will occur on Carnival's Facebook fan page
at facebook.com/carnival, will begin at 12 noon EST on Nov.
19, which is the estimated date on which the cruise line
will hit the 3 million fans milestone. Anyone who "likes" the
Carnival Facebook page can participate over the course of the
24-hour giveaway period. To enter, fans simply respond with a
comment to the posts from Carnival that will occur once every three
hours and ask fans a new question. All fan comments posted
during each three-hour period will go into a random drawing to
determine three prize winners for that period.
Ten Carnival cruises will be awarded during the 24-hour period
and will range in length from three to eight days featuring
itineraries that visit a wide variety of exciting Bahamian,
Caribbean and Mexican ports of
call. Other prizes will include $100 MasterCard gift cards and a mix of fun items
such as Carnival-branded tote bags, jackets, backpacks and
glassware.
"What better way to celebrate having reached the 3 million
followers mark than by showering our fantastic legion of Facebook
fans with free cruises and other great prize giveaways," said
Jim Berra, chief marketing officer
for Carnival Cruise Lines. "Our fans are fun and engaging –
both aboard ship and online – and we view this occasion as more
than worthy of a special celebration to thank our Facebook
followers for their support," he added.
