The winning shot was taken with a Halina Paulette Electric, not a Pentax, so I can’t post it here.

To be honest, the prize seems a bit stingy for a large company like that. Even the BBC's Countryfile calendar winner gets a £1000 prize and the runner up £500.
You realise you've given them consent to use the image and acknowledge and affirm that you are granting Carnival plc trading as P&O Cruises permission to use your photograph royalty- free, with a worldwide right and licence to use, reproduce, modify and display your photograph on any media including social media and www.pocruises.com. for advertising and promotional purposes? That's worth many £1,000s to them! Presumably they could use your image for an international hoarding or press campaign and you'd get nothing for it.
If that's true that's pretty poor really. Have a read of this: http://www.epuk.org/news/pro-imaging-launches-rights-grab-campaign
As far as I can determine, you've given the rights to use those photos to P&O for virtually free.

What would you suggest for a photography "starting kit" for taking pictures of nature, sightseeing, etc?

Don't you find the FA24-90 noisy on Digital. Mine is OK on the MZ-S but I was thinking of converting it to drive screws into wood with the K-5.... Seems to have similar torque to a 40,000 rpm 100V electric drill
