Carnival Colors Competition??? Ship wide Team Challenge?

[igraack]

I just saw Capers from the Legend cruise 1/25/09 and it mentions this:

 

Carnival Colors Competition!

The Newest Carnival FunShip Activity!

Taking the FUN to a new level!

The ultimate Team Challenge!

Are YOU ready to play?

RED TEAM - ODD Cabin Numbers

BLUE TEAM - EVEN Cabin Numbers

Throughout the cruise, take part in as many fun activities

as you can & win points for your team!

 

 

Sounds like good ol' summer camp!! I was wondering any recent cruisers know how that went? What were the contests? Did they keep the theme going all week??



This adds a new wrinkle to packing?? Red or Blue ;)



Leaving on Legend 3/15/09... whose on my team

on our cruise it was divided by 3 teams and it depended on your seating assignment. all the things throughout the cruise counted. trivia contests, hairy chest contest, everything. I don't know if they ever really kept score or not? there was never a score board. and it was impossible to make every event and actually keep track.

On the Fantasy we had a blue team and red team and at the disembarksion talk i think they told you the final score.

 

I think that they are just trying to get people participating in the activities and by doing a competition on board that would draw more people.

Ours was split into 3 teams and divided by deck level. Interesting that each ship does it differently :)

We were on the Legend the week before this one, and the whole competition really didn't seem to have a point... except that it sometimes was used to break groups into teams. We never did hear who won, people seemed to like it well enough...

 

They did a little parade the night of the robe party based on teams, with chants and that... and they picked leaders for the teams... it was based on cabin numbers for our sailing.

When we were on our carnival cruise it was Red, White and Blue teams we were RED and of course our team won!!!! They did it according to where you were sitting in the Dining room though. It was fun....We enjoyed it it seemed to get people to participate.

Seems like a good idea if they implement it well. Thanks for the info guys!

Did it on the Miracle last week with two teams.

 

Personally I find it obnoxious and boring but many young people like it.

 

They do not tell you the running score but give results the last evening.

 

Generally you win all the free pizza you can eat.

 

It was kind of cute the first few times but after a while gets kind of boring.

One of my Carnival pet peeves.

I don't know how Carnival can promote "Fine Dining Experience", while at the same time, allowing the hoopla and mania around the Colors competition in the dining room, with a straight face. :rolleyes:

 

(I usually slam down desert and try to get to hell out of there before the "zoo" starts)
