BENEFIT CRUISE - A Unique Fundraising Idea

NOW  - THREE choices of Cruise Certificates!


If organizing and promoting a cruise is not for your organization, Benefit Cruise has an alternative - a Cruise Certificate!

Use a cruise certificate to raise money by holding an auction or a raffle. The prize being offered is a fully paid cruise for two which includes port charges, government taxes, gratuities and fuel supplements!* Selling tickets for a great prize like this will bring in a greater participation for your fundraising efforts.

CARNIVAL CRUISE CERTIFICATES
*********************************************************************************************************************

WIDE SELECTION OF SHIPS AND ITINERARIES - Winners can choose the most accessible gateway or most appealing itinerary. They can plan their travel experience to fit their schedule.

CERTIFICATES ARE FULLY UPGRADEABLE - Winners can choose to use the Certificate for the cruise they have earned or they can apply the certificate to any Carnival cruise over any date by simply paying the required difference to upgrade. This includes inside to ocean view cabins or even suites as well as taking a 4-day award certificate and applying it to a 7-day cruise.

Upgrades to suites, holiday sailings, Alaska and special voyages may require an additional fee. Individuals must pay an additional surcharge when upgrading to a greater number of sailing days.

PRICES ARE PROTECTED - Even if the recipient chooses to upgrade the certificate, the upgrade is calculated based on the full retail value for which the certificate is valid. The additional amount collected is the difference between this amount and the full retail cost of the desired cruise. So your price is never revealed to the winner.

CERTIFICATES ARE VALID FOR 18 MONTHS* - Provides the winner ample time to use the certificate.

FLEXIBILITY FOR THE WINNER
- Air and transfers to the port can be purchased by the winner from Carnival, BenefitCruise or on their own. This allows the recipient the greatest amount of flexibility in choosing which cruise and port of departure best fits their needs. How about that? An individual prize that is designed for individual preferences!

YOU CAN CHOOSE THE LEVEL OF THE PRIZE! - Carnival offers six levels of certificates to fit any budget.

*Special & Extra Special do not include taxes, gov't fees, gratuities and fuel supplements.
