If you’ve ever dreamed of escaping to turquoise waters, warm Caribbean breezes, and seven nights of luxury aboard a world-class cruise — this could be your year. Expedia Cruises has officially launched the “Win a Dream Vacation 2025” Sweepstakes, giving one lucky traveler and their guest the chance to experience a 7-night Caribbean cruise for two, complete with roundtrip airfare, valued at up to $5,000 USD.

And the best part? No purchase is necessary to enter.

What’s the Prize?

The grand prize is a seven-night Caribbean cruise for two, including airfare from a major gateway city near your home in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico. The winner will enjoy an outside stateroom, gourmet meals, onboard entertainment, and access to many of the world-class experiences that make cruising such a beloved way to travel.

From sunrise breakfasts overlooking the ocean to unforgettable island excursions and fine dining under the stars, this vacation promises relaxation, adventure, and luxury in equal measure.

Expedia Cruises estimates the retail value of the package at up to $5,000 USD, including taxes, government fees, and port charges. The winner can travel anytime before December 31, 2026, depending on availability.

How to Enter the Sweepstakes

Entering is simple — and completely free. You can enter online or in person:

Option 1: Enter Online

Visit Expedia Cruises “Win a Dream Vacation 2025” Sweepstakes, complete the entry form, and subscribe to the 7SEAS® Club email newsletter. You’ll be automatically entered into the sweepstakes when you submit your information.

The form asks for your name, email, phone number, mailing address, and postal code — and that’s it. Once you’re subscribed, you’ll also receive exclusive cruise deals, early access offers, and personalized vacation planning tips from Expedia Cruises.

(Note: You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time — your entry will still count.)

Option 2: Enter In Person

Prefer to enter offline? Stop by any Expedia Cruises location across the U.S., Canada, or Mexico. Fill out a paper entry form and drop it into the collection box at the store.

There’s a limit of one entry per person, but you can earn up to 10 additional entries by referring friends and family through the online referral form. For every valid referral who enters, you get one extra chance to win — a great reason to share the contest with fellow travelers.

The entry period runs from November 15, 2024, through November 14, 2025, so you have plenty of time to enter.

Who Can Enter?

The contest is open to legal residents of the United States (including Puerto Rico), Canada (including Quebec), and Mexico who are 21 years of age or older at the time of entry.

Certain restrictions apply: employees, officers, and directors of Expedia Cruises, its affiliates, and related companies — as well as their immediate family members — are not eligible to participate.

How the Winner is Chosen

A random drawing will take place on or about November 25, 2025, at Expedia Cruises’ headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia. One (1) potential winner will be selected from all eligible entries received during the contest period.

If you’re chosen, Expedia Cruises will contact you via email with detailed instructions on how to claim your prize.

Canadian winners will also need to correctly answer a mathematical skill-testing question (a standard requirement under Canadian contest law) before being officially confirmed.

Once verified, the winner and their guest can begin planning their dream Caribbean escape — an unforgettable week of sunshine, sea air, and luxury living.

What’s Included (and What’s Not)

The prize includes:

• A 7-night Caribbean cruise for two people

• One standard outside stateroom

• Roundtrip economy airfare from a major gateway city closest to your residence

• Ground transportation to/from the airport

• Gratuities, alcohol, and onboard service fees

• Shore excursions, spa treatments, and souvenirs

• Travel or medical insurance

• Passports and required travel documents

In other words, while most of your cruise experience will be covered, some personal and incidental expenses will be up to you.

This fall, Canadians have a new reason to plug in, power up, and take charge — literally. From September 15 to December 15, 2025, BluWave-ai invites electric vehicle (EV) owners across the country to participate in the Clean Charge Challenge, an exciting Canada-wide initiative designed to reward smart, eco-friendly charging habits.

With over $5,000 in prizes up for grabs — including a $1,000 Grand Prize, three $500 Second Prizes, and fifty $50 prepaid Mastercards® — the Clean Charge Challenge isn’t just about winning. It’s about making a measurable difference for the environment and Canada’s energy future.

Charge Smarter. Earn Rewards. Help the Planet.

At its heart, the Clean Charge Challenge is a campaign that empowers EV drivers to make charging decisions that are better for the planet — and for the electrical grid. Participants simply download the BluWave-ai EV Everywhere app, link their electric vehicle, and start charging at optimal times when the energy mix is cleaner and grid demand is lower.

Each smart charging session earns BluPoints, a digital point system that reflects both your participation and the sustainability impact of your charging choices. The more BluPoints you earn, the better your odds of winning. Reaching certain BluPoints thresholds unlocks higher prize tiers:

• 2,500 BluPoints: Eligible for the $1,000 Grand Prize

• 5,000 BluPoints: Eligible for $500 prizes

• 10,000 BluPoints: Eligible for $50 prizes

Charging your EV during off-peak hours — when renewable sources like wind and solar are most active and fossil fuel reliance is lowest — earns you more BluPoints. It’s an easy, fun, and impactful way to participate in the clean energy movement from the comfort of your driveway.

A Challenge With Real Impact

The Clean Charge Challenge represents more than just a contest. It’s part of BluWave-ai’s broader mission to build the energy networks of the future — intelligent, data-driven systems that balance energy generation, storage, and consumption using artificial intelligence (AI).

BluWave-ai’s cloud-based AI platform connects EV charging stations, renewable energy sources, and grid-attached battery storage. The system continuously analyzes data to predict grid loads and emissions, encouraging EV users to charge when the grid is greener. This approach helps utilities stabilize demand, integrates renewable energy more effectively, and supports Canada’s transition toward a net-zero future.

By joining the Clean Charge Challenge, participants become active contributors to this transformation — turning everyday charging into a powerful sustainability action.

How It Works

Participating in the Clean Charge Challenge is simple and completely free:

1. Download the App
   Visit ev-everywhere.ca/clean-charge to download the BluWave-ai EV Everywhere App. It’s available on major mobile platforms and takes just minutes to set up.

2. Link Your EV
   Connect your compatible electric vehicle to the app through its onboarding process. You can also link your utility account to track your energy use and maximize your BluPoints.

3. Charge Smarter
   Use the app’s real-time insights to plan your charging sessions during cleaner, lower-demand periods. The app’s built-in “BluScore” helps you identify the best times to plug in.

4. Earn BluPoints
   Each action you take in the app — linking your EV, configuring a departure plan, manually entering a charging session, or checking your BluScore — earns you BluPoints. The cleaner and more efficient your charging behavior, the more you’ll earn.

5. Win Prizes!
   Reach a BluPoints tier before December 15, 2025, and you’ll automatically be entered into prize draws happening on December 18, 2025. Winners will be contacted by email and must answer a skill-testing question to claim their prize.

There’s no purchase necessary and one entry per household. Participants can even enter by mail by submitting a short essay on reducing household greenhouse gas emissions — proof that BluWave-ai values awareness and creativity as much as technology.

Why It Matters

Electric vehicles already play a crucial role in reducing transportation emissions, but when and how they’re charged can make a major difference. Charging during peak hours, when fossil fuel generators are most active, can offset some of the environmental benefits of EV adoption. Conversely, charging during off-peak, low-emission times amplifies those benefits.

That’s where AI comes in. BluWave-ai’s platform uses predictive analytics to calculate real-time “clean energy windows” — periods when the grid is least carbon-intensive. By aligning EV charging with these windows, Canadians can help:

• Lower carbon emissions associated with electricity use.

• Reduce stress on the electrical grid, preventing blackouts and inefficiencies.

• Encourage utilities to invest in more renewable energy capacity.

• Promote national energy sustainability goals.

Essentially, the Clean Charge Challenge transforms individual EV drivers into collective agents of change — using data, incentives, and community engagement to make clean energy choices second nature.

Fair, Transparent, and Fun

The contest is fully governed by Canadian law and carefully structured to ensure fairness and transparency. BluWave-ai emphasizes responsible participation, data security, and user privacy. Winners are chosen at random from eligible participants, and each household is limited to one prize to ensure broad distribution.

The odds of winning depend on how many participants reach each BluPoints tier — but since not all entrants will hit the top levels, the chances for engaged users are quite favorable. For example, if fewer than 400 people reach the 2,500-point level, odds for the $1,000 prize improve to 1 in 400.

Made in Canada. For Canada.

BluWave-ai is proud to be a Made in Canada innovation leader. Based in Ottawa, Ontario, the company is pioneering the integration of AI and renewable energy systems across industries and regions. Their mission is clear: to optimize the flow of clean energy worldwide, reducing carbon footprints without sacrificing performance or convenience.

Through initiatives like the Clean Charge Challenge, BluWave-ai is helping Canadians embrace smarter technology while rewarding sustainable behavior — one charge at a time.

Welcome to Rumalutions Rum Cakes — a little slice of heaven nestled in the heart of Manassas, Virginia. Here, the art of baking meets divine inspiration, and every creation tells a story of passion, purpose, and pure indulgence.

As a veteran-owned bakery, Rumalutions takes pride in crafting desserts that are not just sweets — they’re experiences. Each cake, scoop, and sip is infused with heart, tradition, and a touch of Jamaican soul. Whether you’re treating yourself or celebrating life’s milestones, Rumalutions brings the joy of homemade goodness to every occasion.

From Grandma’s Kitchen to Divine Creations

Founder Damean, a proud Marine veteran and visionary baker, began his journey far from Virginia — in the warm embrace of his grandmother’s kitchen in Jamaica. It was there he discovered the secret ingredient to every great dessert: love.

Later, while serving in the U.S. Marines, a simple bite of rum cake transported him back home — to the laughter, warmth, and togetherness of family. That moment became the spark for Rumalutions, a brand built on faith, flavor, and the belief that “God created them, we just manufacture.”

Every dessert at Rumalutions carries this spirit. Each is made by hand, with love and gratitude — a reflection of life’s sweetest blessings.

The Sweet Symphony of Flavors

At Rumalutions, variety is the flavor of life. From signature rum cakes to silky ice creams and refreshing smoothies, every treat is designed to awaken the senses and warm the heart.

The Cakes That Started It All

The star of the show, Rumalutions’ Rum Cakes, are baked to perfection with premium ingredients and a heavenly splash of rum. Moist, rich, and perfectly balanced, they come in flavors that capture every mood and memory:

• Classic Coconut Drizzle – A tropical escape in every bite.

• Chocolate Walnut Indulgence – Deep, decadent, and downright divine.

• Funfetti Layer Cake – Pure joy for the kid in all of us.

• Irish Cream Pistachio – A velvety fusion of nutty sweetness and smooth cream.

• The Magnificent 6 – Six mini masterpieces that let you taste it all.

Whether you prefer a small treat ($18) or a large rum cake to share ($52.95), there’s a perfect portion for every craving.

Homemade Ice Creams That Melt the Heart

When it’s time to cool off, Rumalutions’ handcrafted ice creams offer a creamy escape. Made in small batches, these frozen delights blend classic flavors with bold creativity — think rum-infused vanilla, chocolate swirl, and tropical fruit fusions that taste like sunshine in a scoop.

Each spoonful carries the same homemade care that defines the brand, making every cup a moment of bliss.

Smoothies for the Soul

If you’re craving something refreshing, Rumalutions’ smoothies are the perfect pick-me-up. Bursting with fresh fruits and a hint of island flavor, they’re as uplifting as they are nourishing. From tropical blends like Mango-Pineapple Paradise to creamy favorites like Banana Bliss, these smoothies are designed to keep your spirit — and your taste buds — smiling.

More Than a Bakery — A Blessing

At its core, Rumalutions isn’t just about desserts. It’s about connection, gratitude, and celebrating life’s sweetest moments. As Damean puts it,

“Every dessert we create isn’t just a mix of ingredients; it’s a piece of our heart, a blend of passion and purpose.”

When you support Rumalutions, you’re not just buying a treat — you’re becoming part of a story built on faith, family, and the belief that good things happen when love and tradition come together.
