SWEEPS | Never say never. When I first started sweepstaking, I vowed to avoid cruise sweeps unless they went someplace where a cruise really, really made sense, like the Galapagos or Alaska or Norway. David Foster Wallace's famous Harper's article on the subject, published back in the mid-1990s, sealed my disdain for the mega-cruise. For life. Or so I thought.
Now I find myself rethinking my cruise stance. You see, my son Isaac has started clamoring to go on a cruise. He's a great traveler, my boy, but sometimes our tastes diverge. For instance, he loved Club Med so much -- he went with his father to the one in Punta Cana several years ago -- that they went back a second time. I was mortified that his father, who usually takes really, really interesting trips, even considered Club Med.
Which brings me to today's sweeps. It's sponsored by TravelDK, publisher of those gorgeously produced Eyewitness Travel Guides. They're calling it "Your Perfect Trip," and give entrants the choice of three: Exotic exploration in Istanbul, City Sophisticate in New York City, and Luxury Mediterranean Cruise.
I entered. And, you guessed it, I chose the cruise.

This sweeps closes April 30. To enter, click HERE. Note: Residents of Florida and New York are not eligible. One quibble: This is a U.K.-based sweeps, so instead of Official Rules, we've got Terms & Conditions, and they don't specify if this is a one-time entry or a daily-entry sweeps. I just entered a second time, with no bounceback or error message. I will update if I confirm what's up. Really, really.
