Iamthesea Posted June 1, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Just curious to see how many C&A members from this board entered the "Royal Caribbean & Me Photo and Essay contest? Photo's were to be taken showing the entree with a C&A magazine, anywhere in the world. The Grand prize is a cruise on the Freedom!:) The contest ends today. If you like, describe the photo that you entered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted June 1, 2005 Author #2 Share Posted June 1, 2005 ckrobyn - Don't feel bad. I have been meaning to for weeks and was going through my stack of mail the other day when I discovered the C&A magazine. I just entered the contest this week. Hope I win at least one of the free cruises. Wish me luck! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaGoeke Posted June 1, 2005 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I entered Sunday evening. I kind of forgot about it but one of the other ladies who will be sailing when we sail reminded me since she just entered, so I went ahead. I figured I can't win if I don't try and it would be wonderful to win a free cruise! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Jacquelyn Posted June 1, 2005 #4 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I would love to hear all about the photos entered! What were you doing in it? Where were you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LBB Posted June 1, 2005 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I entered about two weeks ago. I would love to win a cruise!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelgrrl Posted June 1, 2005 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I just checked my USPS tracking # and it was delivered at 8:18 this morning; postmarked on the absolute last day and arrived the last day! I wrote a poem about how I use my Crown and Anchor magazine to plan my RCI cruise when I'm home in frosty Duluth, Minnesota. My friend took a photo of my up on a huge snowbank, in a beach chair with an umbrella, holding an RCI glass with a "drink" in it (and a paper umbrella); and I'm reading the C & A magazine too. The poem rhymed - and on first draft was 76 words. I only had to eliminate one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted June 1, 2005 Author #7 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Travelgrrl - What a cute idea! You are sure to win with that one.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Jacquelyn Posted June 1, 2005 #8 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Travelgrrl, You always have such cute ideas, and I always love reading your cruise reviews. As usual, your creativity was at work once again, and your entry sounds really original. Good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelgrrl Posted June 1, 2005 #9 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Wow, Jacquelyn and Iamthesea, thanks so much for the kind words! I would put the whole poem here, but maybe I'll wait until after today's deadline has passed...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted June 1, 2005 Author #10 Share Posted June 1, 2005 That's what I was thinking also. I will tell you my photo idea after midnight. :D My essay wasn't very clever though...just told about the photo.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2vacation Posted June 1, 2005 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I entered over the winter. I NEVER win anything but I thought I would give it a try. I would love to win and take all our grown up kids with us. My picture was of me at home "bundled " up in a homemade quilt reading the C&A and dreaming about sunny decks on the Serenade and beautiful sunsets from by balcony room- not the reality of my snow covered deck in Iowa!

Sounds great!!! Good luck to you :D I could not answer the poll correctly, I did not see it as a waste of time, just wasn't interested and to be honest, I'm not that creative ;) ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banderboo Posted June 2, 2005 #13 Share Posted June 2, 2005 You guys are so creative. I submitted a pic of my DH with the C & A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCazer Posted June 2, 2005 #14 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I entered mine about a month ago. I had made a giant cutout of a great white shark for my son's birthday party. I cut the mouth open so I could take a picture of all the kids so it looked like the shark was eating them. I put my bathing suit on, and my mask and snorkel holding the C&A Magazine and put my digital camera on the timer mode and clicked some rather silly photos of myself. I then used a photo program to put a frame around the photo that read NOT WITHOUT MY CROWN & ANCHOR. I would so love to win and prove my husband wrong. He always makes fun of me for entering contests! So, if I do win, don't make fun of me too much! BTW, I will take any prize they are willing to give out!

LBB Posted June 2, 2005 #16 Share Posted June 2, 2005 My picture (also taken with a timer on my digital camera) was me sleeping on the floor with all the dirty clothes from my previous cruise dumped over me...I'm dreaming with the C&A in my arms. Maybe not so creative, but it was fun throwing all the clothes around before I had to clean up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jst4fun715 Posted June 2, 2005 #18 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Ellen, As usual, you came up with a very clever idea! Somehow, I can picture you on your snow mound in Duluth...you sure had enough of it this year! Hope you win a cruise on the Freedom! Keeping my fingers crossed for you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwoodgal Posted June 2, 2005 #19 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I had my kennel managers dogs dressed in Sailor attire and a RCI Tshirt and a captains hat. I was between the two of them with my St Lucia Tshirt on and holding the C & A magazine. The back ground was the entrance door to my kennel, with the closed sign and the hours that we are open. The two dogs are having a conversation that I have to close my business completely down to go on the cruise. They are saying that I should take the hint that they want to cruise too, since they are all dressed up and ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Private Island Posted June 2, 2005 #20 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Boy are there some very creative cruisers out there!! My picture was of me on a climbing wall reading my C & A Magazine. I said, I was practicing up for my cruise this July on the Serenade of the Sea. You guys have me beat hands down!! Good luck to everyone that at least gave it a shot!

Sassy Chassis Posted June 2, 2005 #21 Share Posted June 2, 2005 You all are very creative! I'm usually the one out snapping photos left and right but for some reason could not remember to do this contest... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizeblues Posted June 2, 2005 #22 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I had all these great ideas of different poses we could do in the ports on our March cruise. I brought two copies of the C&A along, but totally forgot about the contest until the last day of our cruise! So I took a few pics of the kids on our balcony reading the C&A's....they looked really cute:) and my essay was them talking about all the fun they had on this cruise and planning their next adventure!

Travelgrrl Posted June 2, 2005 #23 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Now that the deadline is past, here was my poem, to go along with the snowbank photo, entitled "Just Chilling": Where I live, it’s icy and cold, I long for warmth, and sunsets of gold. The rush of a ship through the beautiful sea, On Royal Caribbean, I always feel free. Alaska, Caribbean, Europe, Med - So many choices, it’s gone to my head! I read my Crown and Anchor for news, While I ponder my next Royal Caribbean cruise. It’s the greatest way, without a doubt, To dream of the tropics, and just "chill out"!

Murphy Posted June 2, 2005 #25 Share Posted June 2, 2005 We built a big snowman, or should I say snowwoman in our backyard (hadn't done that in about 20+years!) I dressed her up in a grass skirt and flower lei and a RCCL sunvisor and we lit a couple of tiki torches behind her. DH is reading a copy of C & A to her in his RCCL baseball cap, drinking from his RCCL coffee mug. Mrs "Vinter" our snowwoman's name (which is winter in Norwegian) is telling my DH about how she is "dying" to take a warm weather vacation to Hawaii, but Mr. Vinter wants to go to Alaska since he has "relatives" there! My DH has 3 copies of C & A in the photo and he tries to help her pick the perfect vacation. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
