Carnival Teams Up Again with Rusty Wallace

Carnival Cruise Lines' and NASCAR Nextel Cup champion Rusty Wallace have teamed up again for another "Rusty Wallace Cruise"—this time with a seven-day West Coast voyage aboard the Carnival Pride. The weeklong cruise will operate roundtrip from Long Beach, Calif., Dec. 3–10, 2006 and will call at Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Carnival's "Rusty Wallace Cruises" began in 2001 and over the years more than 6,500 racing fans have met and interacted with the stock car racer who retired from the active circuit late last year. The "Rusty Wallace Cruise" aboard the Carnival Pride will feature a number of invitation-only events, including private cocktail receptions the first and last night of the voyage, as well as exclusive question-and-answer and photo sessions. Prizes and memorabilia, including complimentary race passes and racing shirts autographed by Wallace, will also be available. Several racing-themed contests and giveaways will be held throughout the voyage. Prices begin at $599 per person double. Participants must reference fare code CPRW when making a reservation to be eligible for the invitation-only events taking place on this voyage. For more information, visit [www.bookccl.com].
