interpretation of these Rules, which will be final and binding in all respects. To participate in this

selected to win the Prize. By using the “Invite Friends” option on the entry page, an entrant will earn an 
additional entry for each invited friend who also “likes” Last Minute Cruises™ on Facebook and registers 
as described in these Rules. 
3. Winner Selection: The Prize winner (and alternates) will be drawn by random selection conducted by 
Sponsor at Sponsor’s place of business or by Sponsor’s agent. Odds of winning depend on the number 
of persons who participate in the Sweepstakes and successfully complete the entry process. The number 
of Prize winners under this Sweepstakes shall be limited to one (1) winner per household within the 
entirety of the Entry Period, and a maximum total of one (1) entrant will win a Prize within the entirety 
of the Sweepstakes Period. 
4. Notification of Winner: The Prize winner will be notified of his/her Prize award via a direct message 
to his/her Facebook account, and/or to his/her personal email account provided upon registration. In 
order to claim the Prize, the Prize winner must reply to Sponsor’s direct Facebook or email message 
within 48 hours, providing his/her full name and email address to Sponsor in the reply. Sponsor’s 
computer (and the screenshots obtained by Sponsor on its computer showing Sponsor’s emails 
referencing dates and times) shall be the official time‐keeping device for the Sweepstakes. 
5. Prizes: The Prize awarded to the Prize winner will be a cruise vacation of anywhere from three (3) to 
five (5) nights, for two (2) individuals in one (1) cabin (double occupancy for the Prize winner and his/her 
guest). The cruise vacation may be from a port, and to a destination, of the Prize winner’s choice, 
provided (a) it is for a duration of three (3) to five (5) nights; (b) is valued at no more than $500.00 per 
person (double occupancy); and (c) it is available through LastMinuteCruises.com. The Prize winner 
shall have two (2) months from the date of Prize notification within which to book the awarded cruise 
vacation, or the Prize will be forfeited. The legitimately claimed Prize will be awarded. An un‐claimed 
Prize and/or un‐timely claim for the Prize will constitute a forfeiture of the Prize by that potential Prize 
winner, and the Prize will instead be awarded to an alternate randomly selected entrant. The winner of 
the Prize (assuming the winner accepts the Prize) will be solely responsible for the payment of sales tax 
on the retail value of the Prize, federal, state and local income and/or excise taxes, travel insurance, 
gratuities, transportation to and from the originating cruise port, meals not specifically included, phone 
charges, on‐board and off‐board spending, and any other such personal expenditures. The eligible dates 
of travel, and other details relating to the Prize, will be chosen solely in the discretion of and by Sponsor. 
The Prize winner may be required to provide a credit card at the time of booking, in order to cover 
cruise‐related incidentals. The Prize winner’s guest must be the age of majority in his/her state of 
primary residence unless that Prize winner is the guest’s parent or legal guardian. The Prize winner and 
his/her guest must comply with Sponsor’s, and the Prize provider’s, procedures and policies. Due to the 
nature of cruise‐ship travel, certain restrictions and limitations may apply to boarding, including but not 
limited to health criteria, and citizenship and/or identification credentials, such as a passport. The Prize 
winner agrees, and his/her guest must agree, to complete, sign, have notarized (if applicable) and return 
an affidavit of eligibility, a release of liability, a publicity release, and social security number (for Form 
1099 and income‐tax filing purposes) to Sponsor, within the time‐frame specified by Sponsor, or else the 
Prize will be awarded to an alternate randomly selected entrant. Once a desired guest is selected by the
Prize winner, that guest cannot be changed without the express consent of Sponsor, which consent may 
be withheld for any reason. The total retail value of the Prize is approximately $500.00 per person, 
double occupancy (total of $1,000.00). The Prize is non‐transferable, and no substitution by the Prize 
winner or any cash equivalent shall be allowed. No amendments shall be made after the awarded cruise 
is booked. Travel dates are subject to restrictions, black‐out dates, and availability. Sponsor reserves the 
right to substitute the Prize for another one of equal or greater value. 
6. Publicity and Information Rights: By entering the Sweepstakes (except where prohibited by law), the 
Prize winner consents to the use of his/her full name, city, state, picture, likeness, voice, biographical 
data, Prize information, and any information contained in his/her Sweepstakes entry in and for any 
advertising, promotion and marketing materials throughout the world including on the Internet, by 
Sponsor, by its promotional partners and by third‐party marketing entities. This consent shall be without 
any additional compensation to, notice to, review by, or approval of the Prize winner concerning such 
rights and use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in these Rules shall obligate Sponsor 
to make use of any of the rights granted herein. Additionally, as a condition of participating in this 
Sweepstakes, each participant gives consent for the Sweepstakes Entities and their representatives to 
obtain and deliver his/her name, address and other information to third parties for the purpose of 
administering this Sweepstakes and complying with applicable laws, regulations, and rules. 
7. Identity: Each entry will be deemed to have been made by the first authorized Facebook account 
holder of record to respond to Sponsor’s direct Facebook or email message notifying that he/she is the 
Prize winner, but only if that person meets all other eligibility criteria. Otherwise, the entry may be 
disqualified, and the Prize will instead be awarded to an alternate randomly selected entrant. A 
potential Prize winner may be required to provide Sponsor with proof that he/she is an authorized 
account holder of the applicable email account. An authorized Facebook or authorized email account 
holder is defined as the natural person to whom a Facebook or email account is assigned by an Internet 
access provider or online service provider that is responsible for assigning such accounts. If an identity 
dispute cannot be resolved to Sponsor’s satisfaction, the entry and any related entry claimant may be 
deemed ineligible for the Prize, in which case the Prize will instead be awarded to an alternate randomly 
selected entrant. 
8. Limitation of Liability: Each entrant agrees to be bound by these Rules, including all eligibility 
requirements. Each entrant further agrees to be bound by the decisions of Sponsor, which decisions are 
final and binding in all matters relating to this Sweepstakes. Failure to comply with these Rules may 
result in disqualification from this Sweepstakes. By participating in this Sweepstakes, each entrant 
agrees to release Sweepstakes Entities, and the respective directors, officers, members, managers, 
employees, representatives and agents of each (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any liability 
whatsoever for injuries, losses or damages of any kind sustained, or claimed to be sustained, in 
connection with his/her participation in this Sweepstakes. Each entrant’s agreement herein shall also 
fully extend to the acceptance, awarding, receipt, possession, use and/or misuse of the Prize while 
preparing for, participating in and/or traveling to or from any Prize‐related or Sweepstakes‐related 
activity, including without limitation any injury, damage, death, loss or accident to person or property. 
Each entrant agrees that the Prize is provided as‐is without any warranty, representation or guarantee,
express or implied, in fact or in law, whether now known or hereinafter enacted, relative to the 
promotion, awarding, use or enjoyment of the Prize, including without limitation its quality, 
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The Released Parties shall not be liable to a Prize 
winner or guest for any “missed‐Prize” circumstances, events, opportunities or expenses incurred as a 
consequence of, without limitation, transportation failures/cancellations/delays, inadequate travel 
credentials, and personal and/or business/employment‐related conflicts. The Released Parties shall not 
be responsible in any way for any additional expenses, omissions, delays or re‐routing resulting from 
either any acts of any government or government authority or any force majeure event beyond the 
control of Sponsor. Further, each winner acknowledges that he/she is solely responsible for any actions, 
claims or liabilities of his/her guest in relation to any Prize‐related or Sweepstakes‐related activity 
including, without limitation, any actions, claims or liabilities related to his/her guest’s use of the Prize. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the preceding release is determined by a court of 
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or void for any reason, the entrant agrees (except where prohibited) 
that, by entering the Sweepstakes, (a) any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action arising out of or 
in connection with the Sweepstakes, or the Prize awarded, shall be resolved individually without resort 
to any form of class action; (b) any claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out‐of‐pocket 
costs incurred, including costs associated with entering the Sweepstakes, but in no event attorney’s 
fees; and (c) under no circumstances will any entrant be permitted to obtain any award for, and entrant 
hereby waives all rights to claim, any punitive, incidental or consequential damages, and any and all 
rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased, and any other damages other than damages 
for actual out‐of‐pocket expenses (if any). 
9. Additional Disclaimers: All entries and any materials submitted shall become the property of Sponsor 
and will not be acknowledged or returned. Sponsor’s failure to, or decision not to, enforce any provision 
in these Rules will not constitute a waiver of that or any other provision. In the event there is an alleged 
or actual ambiguity, discrepancy or inconsistency between disclosures or other statements contained in 
any Sweepstakes‐related materials and/or these Rules (including any alleged discrepancy or 
inconsistency in these Rules), it will be resolved in Sponsor’s sole discretion. The Released Parties are 
not responsible or liable for any of the following, whether caused by a Released Party, the entrant, or by 
any other individual or entity: (a) Any lost, late, incomplete, illegible, mutilated, corrupted, damaged, 
destroyed or misdirected entries, mail, e‐mail, or Sweepstakes‐related correspondence or materials or 
postage‐due mail; (b) errors, typos or misprints in these Rules in any Sweepstakes‐related 
advertisements or other materials; (c) viruses or technical or mechanical malfunctions; (d) interrupted 
or unavailable cable or satellite systems; (e) any error, omission, interruption, defect, or delay in 
transmission or communication; (f) failures of electronic equipment, computer hardware or software;

delayed electronic communications or entry information. Mechanically reproduced entries are not 
eligible. The Released Parties are not responsible for electronic communications that are undeliverable 
as a result of any form of active or passive filtering of any kind, or as a result of insufficient space in 
entrant’s e‐mail account or other account to receive messages. Released Parties are not responsible, 
and may disqualify an entrant at any time, if his or her e‐mail address, telephone, or other contact 
information does not work or is changed without entrant giving prior written notice to Sponsor. Sponsor
reserves the right to permanently disqualify from this Sweepstakes (or any sweepstakes it sponsors) any 
person it believes has intentionally violated these official rules. If Sponsor determines at any time in its 
sole discretion that a Prize winner is disqualified, ineligible, or in violation of these Rules, Sponsor will 
award the Prize to an alternate randomly selected entrant, even if the disqualified original Prize winner’s 
name may have been shown or announced online or elsewhere. If the database of entrants becomes 
corrupted for reasons such as are described in this section, a Prize winner will be chosen from the 
remaining uncorrupted database of applicable entrants. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole 
discretion, to terminate the Sweepstakes prior to its stated expiration date, should causes beyond 
Sponsor’s control corrupt or interfere with the administration, integrity, operation, security or proper 
play of the Sweepstakes. If the Sweepstakes is so terminated, notice will be posted on Last Minute
