CanadianDee Posted June 10, 2015 #2 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It loaded (albeit sluggishly) on both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted June 10, 2015 #3 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I too got the e-mail and tried to enter and was greeted with a "page not found" message after entering my information and trying to enter the contest. So, obviously, it's being run by the crack IT team at Celebrity. What is it they don't get about having a functioning website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise47 Posted June 10, 2015 #4 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It loaded (albeit sluggishly) on both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer for me. It loaded on Google Chrome and it only took 3 minutes to complete the enter. We are "in." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted June 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2015 No email here....if I click on the URL's in the first post I get an Apache 2 test page which is interesting but has absolutely nothing to do with cruising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got in earlier, but now I'm getting the same test page as you. Oooo, maybe this means I'll win. If ... you know ... hardly anyone else gets in.

If ... you know ... hardly anyone else gets in. Wishful thinking is good. Although people might be having some issues entering through the Celebrity website, there are other ways and sites that people are entering on. Celebrity posted the contest on its Facebook and Twitter pages to name a couple ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ghstudio Posted June 10, 2015 #9 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Celebrity's done it again..... From the terms and conditions you have to agree with to enter: Only one entry per person per day is allowed However, when you fill in the entry form on their web page, you get a congratulations, you've entered...and then the following statement: You can earn another entry by sharing to Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #GrassIsGreener. So the entire thing is flawed from the start...... I wonder if anyone at Celebrity ever read the fine print on the terms and conditions??? Actually, they better fix this very quickly.....lawyers love this sort of thing. Edited June 10, 2015 by ghstudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct and the rules state if you enter more than once per day then all your entries will be disqualified for the contest period. I had trouble the first time and wasn't sure it went through, so I entered again. So I guess then I can't win as all my entries will be disqualified?

So the enticement to get another entry with instagram or twitter is an invitation to void your entry. Very clever....and likely very illegal :) Edited June 11, 2015 by ghstudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celebrity Cruises Posted June 11, 2015 #24 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi all, The website should be working now, and can be found at www.Celebrity.com/sweeps We have a few ways to enter, but we will not be disqualifying anyone for multiple entries. The language was written in order to ensure that people are winning (and not automated bots that enter thousands of times.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The language was written in order to ensure that people are winning (and not automated bots that enter thousands of times.) I agree that's the right thing to do and obviously the intent...but if a non winner challenges you for not following your terms and conditions, you may have a problem. I suggest changing the terms and conditions that you have to agree to to enter. Edited June 11, 2015 by ghstudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
