Have you heard that Carnival is giving away 10 cruises in the Carnival Fun-A-Thon Prize Giveaway this week? Everyone knows that I love Carnival Cruise Lines, right? Not only is cruising my favorite way to vacation, but Carnival holds a special place in my heart in particular because I always have an amazing time on the Carnival Fun Ships! I was a fan of Carnival way back in 2006, when I took my first ever cruise with friends on the Carnival Imagination. Angeline and I took our first mother-daughter trip in 2012 on the Carnival Valor, and then I was a fan for life! When it came time for Angeline to decide what she wanted for her sweet 16, a party or a vacation, she choose a Carnival cruise on the Carnival Liberty with two of her best friends. Now, she doesn't actually speak to either of those girls anymore...I tell you, teenagers are fickle!
I've written about the different Carnival press trips I've taken, but I want to drive the point home that I was a Carnival customer before I ever received an invitation for a press trip. As much as I appreciate the complimentary cruises when they do happen, I am a huge fan of Carnival anyway! As a fan, I've liked the Carnival Facebook page and follow them on Twitter and Instagram so that I can get my cruise fix even when I don't have a cruise on the horizon. They share great promotions but also post gorgeous photos taken by their photographers and guests (they use the photos with permission). I love seeing the photos pop up in my stream now and then!
Carnival really values their social media followers, and to celebrate reaching 3 million Facebook fans this Wednesday, November 19th, they are hosting a 24-hour Fun-A-Thon prize giveaway! The online extravaganza will feature three prize giveaways every three hours, including free Carnival cruise vacations and more!
Carnival Fun-A-Thon Prize Giveaway
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.
The Carnival Cruise Lines Facebook page can be found on facebook.com/carnival and the Carnival Fun-A-Thon Prize Giveaway 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!
How to Participate
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.
Why is Carnival Giving Away Prizes?
“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.

I need to put this on my calendar to remind me. I miss so many things in my feed. I"m a huge fan too and will be traveling with them in September for my mom's 60th birthday party.

That's a fun way to mark the huge fan base. I"m not surprised because I know my family are all big fans of Carnival. We've loved all of our cruises and can't wait to go on more.
