Grass is Greener Constest (not off to good start)

Watch your email for new contest from Celebrity called, "The Grass is Greener with Celebrity Cruises Sweepstakes"

 

I hope it isn't run by the X web team...I tried to enter and page errored out:

 

No data received

 

ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

 

But if/when it finally works it would be nice to win!

 

 

supposed link:

http://celebrity.com/sweeps

 

http://celebritycruises.com/sweeps

It loaded (albeit sluggishly) on both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer for me.

I too got the e-mail and tried to enter and was greeted with a "page not found" message after entering my information and trying to enter the contest. So, obviously, it's being run by the crack IT team at Celebrity. What is it they don't get about having a functioning website?

It loaded on Google Chrome and it only took 3 minutes to complete the enter.

We are "in."

No email here....if I click on the URL's in the first post I get an Apache 2 test page which is interesting but has absolutely nothing to do with cruising.

I got in earlier, but now I'm getting the same test page as you.

 

Oooo, maybe this means I'll win. If ... you know ... hardly anyone else gets in.

Wishful thinking is good. Although people might be having some issues entering through the Celebrity website, there are other ways and sites that people are entering on. Celebrity posted the contest on its Facebook and Twitter pages to name a couple ways.

Celebrity's done it again.....

 

From the terms and conditions you have to agree with to enter:

 

Only one entry per person per day is allowed

 

However, when you fill in the entry form on their web page, you get a congratulations, you've entered...and then the following statement:

 

You can earn another entry by sharing to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #GrassIsGreener.

 

So the entire thing is flawed from the start......

 

I wonder if anyone at Celebrity ever read the fine print on the terms and conditions??? Actually, they better fix this very quickly.....lawyers love this sort of thing.

Worked fine. Followed the link and entered. Took less than fifteen seconds.

I don't think it is open for non US citizens, cannot find it on our website.

Eligibility: The Sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec). Entrants must be at least 18 years of age at time of entry.

Didn't think so.:(

[dodger1964]

I was able to enter this morning...must have been buggy at the beginning of the rollout.

 

I hope a CC member wins!!

I hope a CC member wins!!

 

Likewise.:D

According to the Sweepstakes rules, no winners' names will be available until July 1, 2015

Worked fine for me on Firefox once I disabled AdBlock.

Correct and the rules state if you enter more than once per day then all your entries will be disqualified for the contest period.

 

I had trouble the first time and wasn't sure it went through, so I entered again. So I guess then I can't win as all my entries will be disqualified?

So the enticement to get another entry with instagram or twitter is an invitation to void your entry. Very clever....and likely very illegal :)

Hi all,

 

The website should be working now, and can be found at www.Celebrity.com/sweeps

 

We have a few ways to enter, but we will not be disqualifying anyone for multiple entries. The language was written in order to ensure that people are winning (and not automated bots that enter thousands of times.)

I agree that's the right thing to do and obviously the intent...but if a non winner challenges you for not following your terms and conditions, you may have a problem.

 

I suggest changing the terms and conditions that you have to agree to to enter.
