MIAMI — To celebrate its 45th anniversary, Carnival Cruise Line has launched a new travel agent trivia contest on its trade-focused Facebook page.

Running until March 10, the ‘Carnival 45th Anniversary Trivia’ game features one trivia question related to the company’s history each day for the duration of the game period. The first nine agents to answer the daily question correctly will each win a US$100 Visa gift card.

A total of 45 agents will be awarded a combined $4,500 in gift card winnings.

“The cruise industry was built by our travel agent partners, who took a leap of faith with our fledgling industry in the 1970s,” said Carnival’s Vice President of Sales & Trade Marketing Adolfo Perez. “During these 45 years, agents have helped tens of millions of Carnival guests realize our founder Ted Arison’s vision that everyone deserves a great cruise vacation at a fantastic value. This contest is one more way of thanking agents for their tremendous support through the years.”

This year marks the 45th anniversary of Carnival Cruise Line’s inaugural cruise, which departed from Miami on March 11, 1972 aboard the TSS Mardi Gras.
