PROSPECT, Va. — Carnival Cruise rolled into a small Virginia town this week on the hunt for a local teen and his coveted Snapchat handle @CarnivalCruise.
The company surprised 15-year-old Darian Lipscomb at his Prospect, Va., home Tuesday night after peppering the town with signs asking “Hey Prospect, does anyone know Darian?”
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports the company offered to trade Lipscomb a free trip for his family aboard its newest ship, Carnival Horizon, in exchange for his Snapchat handle.
