Travel Raffle FAQ's
What is a Carnival Gift Card?
The Carnival Gift Card is a prepaid gift card similar to a gift certificate that can be used as payment toward a cruise booking on any of our ships, online pre-purchases of shore excursions, spa experiences and Fun Shop gifts or toward your Sail & Sign onboard account. Gift Cards are not accepted on ships that sail with a functional onboard currency other than USD; therefore, Gift Cards will not be redeemable (or sold) onboard Carnival Spirit or Carnival Legend while operating in Australia as the functional onboard currency is AUD.

Are there any restrictions?

​
Do I have to claim the gift card on my taxes?
It is your responsibility to claim any earnings on your taxes. Alvarado ISD Education Foundation may be required to submit Form W-2G.
I bought multiple tickets but only received one e-ticket?
Our current ticketing system will send one electronic ticket for the entire purchase. It is more of a receipt than an actual ticket. After May 18th, the names from purchased tickets will be printed on 1” x 2” ticket and placed in a raffle drum. Your name will be printed on the same number of tickets you purchased. For example, Jane Doe bought 5 tickets. We will print 5 tickets with the name Jane Doe and all 5 will be placed in the raffle drum.
