Win a Carribean Cruise OR $1000 Dollars - It is YOUR choice!

Written by Janice

Metropolitanmama.netRemember this contest we told you about where you could win a Caribbean Cruise?!?

If you missed that post, here is a quick recap - one of our favorite bloggers, Metropolitan Mama, is teaming up with one of our favorite companies, Protect-A-Bed, (we did a review for them last October) to run a thrilling contest called “Sail Away to a Good Night’s Sleep” where they are giving away an all-expenses-paid CRUISE for two to the Caribbean (airfare included!!!)

As well, there are weekly draws for Protect-A-Bed products and monthly draws for $200.00 gift certificates to Outback Steakhouses.

YES - I know! It is ridiculously cool!

BUT - now Metropolitan Mama has made it even better! For those of you who can’t leave the kids and skip town for a cruise, you can have your choice of EITHER the cruise or one thousand dollars! So, a free trip or $1,000 cash. Sounds like a pretty fantastic choice.

If you didn’t enter yet because you decided a cruise wasn’t right for you, click over and enter now! Because what family doesn’t need an extra $1000???

AND you can increase your chances of winning too - click over to find out how you can have multiple entries.

Don’t forget, when you fill out your entry form let Stephanie know 5 Minutes for Mom sent you. :)

Click on over and enter to win!!!

PS - I am curious - what would you take? The money or the cruise???

I’d go for the money! I’d want to use it to do something w/ my family!

#12 - Amy-Happy Momma @ 8:31 pm

I’d ask for the money. My husband would love to take a trip to British Columbia and this would make it possible.

#13 - brandy w @ 10:16 pm

#15 - craftymom @ 12:18 pm

I would take the cruise with my husband. We’re in need of some time to ourselves!

#16 - Amy @ 4:36 pm

We would probably take the $ but a cruise with NO kids would be great.

#17 - Nicole S. @ 4:39 pm

My husband and I could so use the trip!! We haven’t even had a weekend vacation with out kids in 3 years!!! Sing me up!! Thanks for all of the great offers on your website.

#18 - Feiloaki @ 10:44 pm

The trip really sounds nice, but we can sure use the money for a road trip so we can show our son this beautiful country we live in. Thanks!!!

I am about to start potty training my 2 year old daughter and imagine these might really protect our mattress!! I joked in my post that I wonder if they make car seat protectors after my daughter was vomitting for 9 hours on our recent car trip home!!

#20 - Nicole @ 2:47 pm

With a toddler and infant, the cruise sounds like heaven! Would have to find a way!

#21 - Cheryl N @ 6:21 pm

I could use the money! Gas for a road trip!

#22 - Bob @ 6:41 pm

I think i would take the money, because money is what everyone needs right now. Vacations come later! (even though i would love one)

#23 - JRG @ 7:13 pm

I’d take the money!

#24 - Krispy_Kremer @ 7:43 pm

Money or cruise?! Either, or, and! Either could/would be fun ;-)

#25 - Tonya Keener @ 7:56 pm

I would take the cruise. I went on a cruise for my Senior Trip after graduating High School but I was drunk the whole time and have no memory of it ,even the day I got home. Now with almost 12 years sobriety I would take my 20 year old daughter on the cruise with me and we would cherish every second and remember it
When my daughter was five my parents took her from me due to my alcoholism. I moved to florida April 4 2007, the day my daughter turned 19, with 10 1/2 years sobriety, my car payed off and money saved for the move after years of working two and three jobs.
mothers day 2008 I saw her get her associates degree with 3.8 GPA. Even though she lives five minutes from me, she sent me a card saying thanks for being at my college graduation, standing beside me and cheering me on

#26 - Beverly @ 9:58 am

I have never been on a cruise, but I would have to pick the money. I want a vacation, but I need to pay down some debt.

#27 - Denise Sowders @ 12:32 pm

The cruise :)

#28 - Striving\Tessa @ 8:32 pm

lets see, I would love to have a cruise, but with 4 little ones and a hubby that would rather go to Alaska, I would have to take the $$$ honey. Plus we are trying to save money for a down payment on our first house and that would be a great addition. Thank you for letting us know about this contest.

#29 - Rosemary Graham @ 11:58 am

I would love to go on a cruise. I will be getting married next year and that would be the perfect honeymoon for us. Especially since it is affordable (FREE)!

#30 - Kali @ 3:38 pm

Thanks for sharing the contest info. I’m taking a cruise later this year and that $1K would definitely come in handy!

#31 - lisa ward @ 5:30 pm

yes i would love to win!

#32 - Tracy Roberts @ 6:23 pm

Definately the cruise!

It’s the perfect vacation. You don’t drive, cook, or make beds. You can shop and eat, relax or not, dance, sing karaoke, eat, sightsee, eat…

Love me some cruisin’

#33 - Joyce Pogue @ 9:40 pm

I’d rather have the $1000.

#34 - Jai @ 10:28 pm

The cash, bring on the cash! Hubby has used all his vacation days … :(

#35 - Frances Powell @ 10:29 pm

I could definitely use the money to pay some taxes!
Thanks

#36 - Cheryl @ 11:59 pm

Most definitely the cruise!! I’ve been before and loved the experience and fun!!

#37 - Faye @ 12:03 am

I would take the money. The last time my hubby and I went on a cruise,the ship caught on fire and I said I would never get on one again.
I lost my hubby last year,and I could use money to help pay bills.

#38 - Becky Grayson @ 2:53 am

I do water aerobics three times a week and I would love a new suit from Lands End.

Thanks for the contest!

#39 - Becky Grayson @ 2:56 am

Whoops! I would take the money. Sorry about the above comment. It’s late and I’m sleepless in Texas.

#40 - Dawn Johnson @ 7:09 am

Sweet

#41 - Timothy Sternberg @ 12:42 pm

I would LOVE the money.

#42 - Callista Meyer @ 2:47 pm

definatly the money…i would catch up on bills instead of going paycheck to paycheck like we have been!

#43 - Ruby Curl @ 7:52 pm

With the price of gas and the grocery prices going up and the debt that I am already in ————-
GIVE ME THE MONEY!!! But, boy could I use a vacation! Can you tell??

#44 - Susan Snyder @ 8:04 pm

Oh geez………it’s really tough… i can’t even answer right now….. $$ or cruise.. i need both!

July 3, 2008

#45 - Demetra @ 12:12 pm

We do need furniture so the money would be great, but the cruise would provide some amazing memories that will last a lifetime. Neither of us have ever been on a cruise before!!!

#46 - JUDY NO @ 6:27 pm

I feel like I’m going to win this one for some odd reason.

July 6, 2008

With school coming up just around the corner, I would take the money. All though a cruise will be nice.
