We WON!...Now a dream comes true

Entered the week-long Awesome-cation sweepstakes every day. On our way home from church today, I got the email notifying me that I had won.

Wife and I are cruising in Nov for our 2nd cruise. Kids have been begging for a cruise, but we saw no way we could afford to take us, and our 5 kids. With a $1000 gift card, I think we can make it happen sometime in the next couple years.

We're very excited.:D

Congratulations! That is awesome! Nice to see these contests are real and real people are winning! Enjoy your Nov. vacation and future vacation w/the kids!:)

Congrats!

Wonderful! Congrats!

Way to go, enjoy the cruise.

Congrats but just make sure that this is legit. There are so many scams going on.

Seems a few fellow CC-ers have won this...congrats!

congratulations! Awesome!

Awesome!!

Wow! Congrats! :D

Congrats but its marketing nothing is for free....

You say your a family of 7, do you realize that 1k really doesn't help hardly at all when you have to pay for cruise fare, tips, fees/taxes, onboard expenses, soda cards, cocktails for all the members of your cruise, not mentioning you most likely need two staterooms. I say Carnival surely has a great marketing program to get people's money so I not see it as a good thing.

Congratulations! That is fantastic!

I, too, entered daily. Alas, that email never came, but I am thrilled for you!

Very cool! $1000 can go a long way! Should take care of your on board expenses, and then some! Congrats!

That's awesome! Congratulations!

Wow! Debbie downer much? $1000 toward a cruise for any number of people is great! Of course it won't pay for it all, but the point is that it sure will help. No reason for you to even post on this thread if you feel that way. Let other people enjoy their news!

Congratulations to you and your family!!

Happy Cruising! :p

So happy for you. Hope this helps your family cruise become a reality. Love to see a family win something and be so excited. May your have a wonderful cruise and your children get to enjoy the new experience. ;)

CONGRATS!! So many people have won off the board, that is just AWESOME :)

Redsfan, TerReuv - There's at least one in every crowd. 'Bubble Busters'.

They just feel the need to share the the misery that is their lives.

$1000.00 can help a lot, ... if used wisely.

Are you OK?

This person booked a trip for a couple, not including the kids. Carnival had no way of knowing there are 5 kids at home. The prize was, before entering the contest, $1000. You can easily go on a 3 - 4 day Carnival cruise out of FL with $1000. Not everybody has onboard expenses and/or drinks soda. Do you want to know another way Carnival can get your money? By not having a contest and having all of the winners pay an extra $1000, which, BTW, can be used on their upcoming trip that they would have had to pay for winning the contest or not.

Sorry, OP....Congratulations! Awesome win! Im very happy for you!!:)

CONGRATS! ! !

Just don't forget to set aside a % for everyone's favorite UNCLE !! ;)

Congrats!
