Cruise Competition

Now something to cheer up the November gloom - an escape to the sunnier seas of Italy with a cruise courtesy of e-travel.ie.

And of course there is a competition for this great prize which includes return flights to Barcelona from Dublin and then seven nights on board one of the world's finest cruise ships - the Celebrity Constellation - complete with bars, theatre, casino, swimming pools, aqua spa and fitness centre.

Departing Barcelona on the 2nd of October 2010..the Celebrity Constellation will call to Genoa, Rome, Livorno and Naples before making its way back to Barcelona.

But if you want to be in with a chance to win this pair of tickets, here's what you have to do.

You have been asked to organise the on-board entertainment for an Irish night during this cruise. In not more than 30 words, tell us what Irish entertainment you would suggest, remembering as always that the Drivetime judges enjoy wit, current affairs and something unexpected.

As ever you can send your entries by email to drivetime@rte.ie or by mail to Drivetime with Mary Wilson, RTE Radio One, Donnybrook Dublin 4. The closing date is November the 18th.
