2. ELIGIBILITY: The Sweepstakes is open only to individual persons who as of the date of entry are legal residents of the United States (excluding Florida and New York) or the District of Columbia and are 21 years of age or older (“Entrants” or “Eligible Entrants”). Entrants may be required to show proof of eligibility. Employees of Holland America Line N.V.
