Contest: Win a Parrot; Cruise Without Leaving Home

August 15, 2012 | By | 25 Comments

If you’re desperate for a cruise fix, try our 10-step guide to turning your home into a ship. Too many steps? Slurping a frozen drink from a parrot’s head works, too.
Carnival sent us a sampling of its whimsical Drink of the Day souvenir glasses, available for a fee onboard it ships … but free for a trio of lucky winners on Cruise Critic’s Lido Deck (where we never charge for anything).

Entering is easy. Anyone who’s subscribed to the Lido Deck Blog as of Friday, August 17, at 5 p.m. EDT will be automatically entered to win one of three fantastic prize packages. We’ll pick the winners at random and announce them Friday.
And, just for fun, tell us what beverage you would fill your parrot or 24-ounce twister glass with.

      Long island sound good to start my Christmas cruise on my 1st NCL Dawn voyage. I hope I won’t regreat. Especially after going thru hoops to get my friend to join us. Never had bombay cooler.
