Carnival Cruise Line has teamed up with basketball legend and Carnival’s Chief Fun Officer Shaquille O’Neal for The Ginormous Points Giveaway.

Thanks to this, one million Carnival Rewards Points will be rewarded across 16 winners during a sweepstakes running November 9-30, 2026.

The cruise line launched Carnival Rewards this summer, describing it as a first-of-its-kind loyalty program in the cruise industry with guests earning points and stars from Carnival cruise purchases and everyday shopping that can be redeemed for cruises and related services, such as spa days or shore excursions.

Carnival noted that the latest partnership also highlights Shaq’s personal connection to the brand, including his onboard restaurant, Shaq’s Big Chicken, serving up signature crispy chicken sandwiches and comfort-food classics.

The imitative follows similar activations with other Carnival celebrity partners, each offering another one million points and putting the spotlight on how Carnival Rewards can open the door to even more fun aboard Carnival cruises.
