firefly333 Posted October 23, 2012 #26 Share Posted October 23, 2012 what is so hard to understand? you said a free cruise from a scavenger hunt. So you think the scavenger hunt on the CARNIVAL Conquest discussed above .. they are giving away a competitors cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskier Posted October 23, 2012 #27 Share Posted October 23, 2012 How long did it take to get a reply once you submit the names of the people going? I submitted my reply last night and still haven't heard back. I've never been to one of these and don't know how it works Still waiting on the reply back also. When they do reply, it will be with instructions on where to go and a confirmation that you are to print out and bring with you. Hopefully it will also include allowing us to park in the Erato St terminal as the next closest parking is going to be at the Riverwalk or on the other side of the Convention Center.

jetskier Posted October 23, 2012 #29 Share Posted October 23, 2012 what is so hard to understand? you said a free cruise from a scavenger hunt. Apparently you do it seems. This is a Carnival cruiseline forum, discussing an event by Carnival cruiseline, on a Carnival cruiseline ship, with the prize being given away by Carnival cruiseline. So obviously the cruise will be on Carnival cruiseline. In the quote you replied to Carnival is mentioned twice along with John Heald who is the Senior Cruise Director for Carnival cruiseline. So I had no reason to not assume you would know that the cruise being given away was on Carnival cruiseline. Because of that I was questioned your reply because you could have been referring to the impact on the VIP/embarkation line since I was also talking about boarding order for the ship.

Cruisin 4 Ever Posted October 24, 2012 #37 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I am always suspicious of criminals gettingmy personal information, are you sure this email is from a legitimate source? have you called Carnival to confirm, can you give the information over the phone? I get emails from Bank of America that looks real but it's not and they want information. I agree, I thought it sounded very fishy but I am just very cautious about things like that.

ohhbother Posted October 29, 2012 #42 Share Posted October 29, 2012 My husband and I did this today. We had an absolute ball! We got to meet John Heald, enjoy free drinks, have a fabulous burger and fries from Guy's, etc. The scavenger hunt was a tremendous amount of fun -- we'll find out Wednesday who won the free cruise (fingers crossed!). All in all, it was a really special way to spend a Sunday. I feel like I had a mini-vacation, and it was great to see the improvements to the Conquest. I will say it was unseasonably cool in Louisiana this weekend. It felt strange to explore a cruise ship in sweatshirt and jeans! Anyway, we had so much fun. Thanks, Carnival, for a spectacular day!

I'm on Facebook but can't figure out how to tag them. Any help would be greatly appreciated Sorry -- just now saw your question. I was never able to get the Facebook tags to work (even with the @ sign). I researched online, and it appears to be a sporadic Facebook bug. I just ended up putting everything on Pinterest and Youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becker1959 Posted November 1, 2012 #48 Share Posted November 1, 2012 My daughter helped me out by posting on Twitter ( don't know anything about Twitter) but I got everything sent in.

becker1959 Posted November 2, 2012 #49 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Just received an email from Social Networking. The winner of the Scavenger Hunt Cruise will be announced on Monday by email. They did not say if they would post it anywhere else. Sooo whoever gets the email, please post on Cruise Critic so we know who the lucky person was. GOOD LUCK ALL!!!

jetskier Posted November 2, 2012 #50 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I ended up doing it both ways in Facebook. By tagging, I would get permission denied. But if you were to tag it, a menu list comes up. Use the up arrow to deselect the highlighted item on the list and then hit enter. It would then tag the photo with Carnival Cruise Lines but it would not be linked. So I then used the @Carnival Cruise Lines in the description to link to them. The rule stated to tag in the picture or the post, so I figured I would have it covered both ways. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
