Cruise Contest Powerball: A Solution to For-Fee Cruise Coffee and Missing Passports

Drink too much of the free cruise coffee and you may end up doing something imbecilic. Like disembarking without your passport. Fortunately, neither fate will ever befall two two lucky winners.

Up for grabs are a pair of chocolate brown passport cases dual-embossed with Allure of the Seas and Starbucks logos — the first cruise ship version of Starbucks debuted on Allure in 2010. Inside you’ll find a $10 Starbucks Card, which can be used at Allure and Oasis’ at-sea venues … or at any of the ubiquitous coffee chain’s 3.6 billion terrestrial locations.

Entering is easy. Anyone who’s subscribed to the Lido Deck Blog as of Friday, August 31, at 5 p.m. EDT will be automatically entered to win one of the two packages. We’ll pick the winners at random and reach out to them Friday at 5 p.m EDT. The winners have 72 hours to claim the prize. Any unclaimed prizes will be added to the Lido Deck prize pool, Powerball-style. (Note: Future prize lots will be divided, if necessary, at our discretion.)

In the meantime, tell us in the comments: What’s your most prized passport stamp?

    Going on the Oasis in November, and this coffee card – if I were to be lucky enough to win one – would come in handy!

    Israel– but they give you a separate card so that it won’t be seen by other countries wheich may be less friendly and reject you. As far as coffee goes, RCCL serves Seattle’s Best which is my favorite brewed at home. Do not have to pay extra. With Starbucks onboard, I would choose their Italian Roast or Cafe Verona.
