Carnival Cruise Lines will award five grand prize winners VIP trips to see top music artists perform as part of its "Rock The Deck Summer Mystery Tour Sweepstakes."

The Facebook sweepstakes is being presented in conjunction with the cruise lines' national marketing alliance with Live Nation Entertainment, and as part of the line's "Hey America, Didja Ever" campaign, which celebrates trying new things.

By visiting the Miami-based cruise line's Facebook page (www.facebook.com/carnival), fans 18 and older who "Like" Carnival can enter the first sweepstakes through June 22 for a VIP trip to a concert in Houston, Texas, at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, where the company is the official concert series sponsor.  

New sweepstakes on the Summer Mystery Tour continue July through September, when Carnival will offer fans four additional opportunities to enter and win VIP concert experiences at Live Nation venues in major U.S. cities where the line is presenting the Carnival Rock the Deck Concert Series including Atlanta, Dallas, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.  

Concert goers attending select Rock The Deck Concert Series shows throughout the season will also have the chance to enjoy Carnival Sailgate parties where they could win VIP ticket upgrades for that evening's show, more tickets for upcoming concerts and other Carnival prizes.--Tanya Irwin
