You will receive a bonus entry in our cruise contest for every point that you earn on August 29, 2009 in our August contest. This will be your last chance to win entries in our cruise contest, as we are picking the winner on August 30, 2009. If you have at least 1 entry, you can win, so in my mind, you'd be crazy not to at least make that much of an effort.
