In the event that there are an insufficient number of Submissions, determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion, received during the Submission Phase to select ten (10) Finalists, all qualified Submissions received during the Submission Phase will be named Finalists and advance to the Voting Phase.

   2. Voting Phase: During the Voting Phase, the Finalist Submissions will be posted in an online gallery for public voting at contest.allureoftheseas.com. Limit: Each participant may vote one (1) time per day during the Voting Phase. The votes each Finalist Submission gains during the Voting Phase will go towards the Finalist's score in the Ability to effectively represent the Royal Caribbean brand portion of the judging criteria as part of the Contest Winner Selection Phase, as outlined below in Section 6a III. In its sole discretion, Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify or select an alternate Finalist should the voting appear to have been tampered with or manipulated in any way. Multiple voters are not permitted to share the same email address. Any attempt by any voter to obtain more than the stated number of votes by using multiple/different email addresses, identities, registrations and logins, or any other methods will void that voter's votes and that voter may be disqualified. Use of any automated program to vote will result in disqualification.

   3. Contest Winner Selection Phase: During the Contest Winner Selection Phase, the Finalists will be invited to visit The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY (the "Finalist Event") to participate in a series of interviews and to prepare a three-course meal which will be served to and rated by a panel of qualified judges, determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. The qualified judges will score each Finalist based on the following criteria:

      • Quality and creativity of three-course meal (50%)
      • Ability to effectively answer interview questions (30%); and
      • Ability to effectively represent the Royal Caribbean brand (20%)

      The Finalist with the highest combined score will be named the potential Contest Grand Prize winner. In the event of a tie, Sponsor, in its sole discretion, will determine the potential Contest Grand Prize winner based on the Finalist that received the highest score in the Quality and Creativity category. Finalists will receive Contest Winner Selection Phase guidelines and restrictions prior to the Finalist Event. Any Finalist who does not participate in the Contest Winner Selection Phase will be disqualified and will not be considered for the Contest Grand Prize. Access to a kitchen, an apprentice appointed by The Culinary Institute of America, and a selection of utensils, equipment, and pantry items as outlined in the Contest Winner Selection Phase guidelines will be provided to the Finalists for use as part of the three-course meal preparation.

In Sponsor's discretion, each potential Finalist will also be subject to a background check to confirm his/her appropriateness (as solely determined by Sponsor) to represent Sponsor's brand and placement as a Grand Prize winner. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify a potential Finalist based on the results of this background check. If any potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to execute and return the Affidavit or any additional paperwork within the required time period, or any notification is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits the prize. In the event that a potential Contest Prize winner is disqualified for any reason, the eligible entrant with the next highest combined score will be named the potential winner.
