Nashville, Tenn. – September 19, 2026 -- A Scottsboro, Alabama, woman who has eaten at Captain D's since her local restaurant opened in the late 1970s has won a seven-night Alaska cruise for her family through a national sweepstakes tied to the chain's Alaska-sourced fish.

Sandra Elmore noticed a promotional sign for the "Captain D's and PepsiCo Alaska Family Cruise Sweepstakes" while eating at her local restaurant this summer. She scanned the code, submitted her receipt, and did not think about it again until an email arrived weeks later naming her the winner.
Confirmation came in the form of a 32-pound box of cruise-themed merchandise, including six sets of spa robes and slippers, binoculars, beach towels, and Captain D's gift cards.
