PEOPLE PREFER TRAVEL
To motivate, reward, or promote. For sales incentives, performance improvement, purchase inducements, loyalty programs, sweepstakes, contests and drawings there is no better, more memorable and desirable award than travel.
While there are many great travel awards and travel certificate programs each has its limitations. There are those that require minimum purchase quantities or provide limited availability. Some are not flexible, don’t allow upgrades or limit the upgrades to certain levels and times of the year. Still others are not fully inclusive, costing the recipient money while they are trying to enjoy their reward.
That is why we have created the most rewarding experience of all. An award certificate for a three, four, or seven day Carnival Cruise that includes accommodations plus all meals, entertainment, international ports of call, federal taxes, customs fees and shipboard gratuities.
TRAVELERS PREFER CRUISING
Research has proven that cruising has the highest satisfaction rating of all travel alternatives. With complimentary 24 hour room service, complimentary movies in your stateroom, complete spa and workout facilities and a staff to guest ratio of almost 2:1. Why would you expect anything less?
