and Carnival Cruise Line brands
by checking the virtual reality experience and sign up via an in-store
tablet or by visiting www.vrcruisewlcl.com. The sweepstakes is available

“Our
customers know they can come to an AT&T store to experience the
future of a connected life. The Samsung Gear VR is awesome, especially
with this great content from Carnival.
We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to show it off,” said Brian Shay,
president, Retail Sales and Distribution, AT&T.
“Samsung
Gear VR delivers an innovative way for people to transport themselves
to far-away locations from around the world,” said Tim Baxter, president
of Samsung Electronics America.
“Now, people can immerse themselves into a one-of-a-kind cruise line
adventure, powered by virtual reality. We are excited to work with the
premier brand in leisure travel to bring the complete cruise line
experience to AT&T’s stores across the U.S.”
“Globally,
the growing popularity of cruising vacations is far outpacing
land-based vacations, by a 23 percent margin,” said Arnold Donald, CEO
of Carnival Corporation, the world’s
largest leisure travel company. “But there are still many people who
have not had a chance to enjoy the one-of-a-kind experience we provide
with one of our 10 cruise line brands. With most of the U.S. dealing
with winter weather, the timing for this launch
is designed to give people a fully immersive look at why cruising is a
great vacation – and helps remind them to think about going on a cruise
when planning their next vacation.”
