Agents Can Win With Carnival

Carnival Cruise Line has launched an “Agentpalooza Rockin’ Moments” contest for travel agents on its trade Facebook page, through Sept. 1.

As part of the contest, Carnival will post videos featuring highlights from the line’s recent “Agentpalooza” tour and then ask questions related to each video. The first 25 agents to respond each week during the first three weeks of the contest will win a $50 Amazon gift card. During the final week of the contest, the line will select the 10 best posts of rockstar agent photos based on creativity, costuming and Agentpalooza spirit with those winners receiving a $100 Amazon gift card.

“This contest is a fun way to underscore our appreciation for our rock star travel partners and to share some highlights from Agentpalooza for those who weren’t able to join us on the road or who did attend and would like to take a look back at all the fun we had,” said vice-president of trade sales and marketing Adolfo Perez.

Carnival visited travel agents in six cities this past May during the seven-day festival inspired “Agentpalooza” bus tour. Hosted by Perez and the line’s sales leadership team, the tour encompassed events featuring one-on-one meetings between agents and Carnival sales team members, product experiences and a variety of engaging entertainment activities. A community service and philanthropic component rounded out each event.
