Carnival's new ad campaign

[fireofficer5]

First, let me say, the horn at the end of the commercial sounds more like a whoopee cushion.

 

Second, the new do not disturb signs look like the paddles that I grew up fearing in my K-8 public education. The signs should read:

 

Cruisin

 

OR

 

Bruisin.

 

Can't believe we had corporal punishment back then and now...:eek:

It did sound like a whoppie coshin.:)

Carnival is the fun ship and these ads are fun. Check our the new privacy signs on the Legend:

 

 

Aren't they great?:D

I love these.... Where can I get some?

I guess I do not think much of a Cruise Ship Commercial that NEVER shows a cruise ship,,,

 

and the story is told through the DAUGHTERS eyes...but has a male voice.

I'll bet many hours were spent trying to decide whether to use the teens voice or the dads, but I think they got it wrong. It just doesn't go with the ad and is rather jarring. Otherwise great ad, leave your cares behind and have FUN!

Hopefully, on your next cruise.:D

While I agree that it is strange to have a male narrator, they chose him because he is pretty well-known now and popular--it's John Krasinski a.k.a. Jim Halpert on The Office. I think the commercial is fun, honestly. They'll get a lot of exposure during the Olympics next month...

I like it...the dad acts just likeI do when Im on a cruise..someone already said it..they are selling a feeling.C'mon April:D

[HoustonTodd]

I agree, I love the new adds, particularly the one with the crazy, dancing dad.

Maybe they're taking something right out of Star Trek in the 60's, where they used a female actress to play a male alien, overdubbed with a male voice as well. :D

We just saw the one with the Dad last night. I had to rewind it and watch it again. I thought it was really cute and makes me so happy that we are cruising in 36 days:)

I have only watched the one where the dad is dancing. Loved it! It's just like my DH. Pretty serious and dour at home, but on a cruise he dances, does'nt worry about work or anything. Just has a good time.

Just remember in all your jubilation . . . the more successful the ad campaign, the quicker and easier it will be to fill cabins on Carnival ships . . . the higher the prices for cabins will go. :rolleyes:

 

(the other side of this, of course, is the cheaper the competitors cabins may become):)

The door hangers are so cute! These must be new!

[deborahjo]

I really, really miss the old ads with the "somewhere, beyond the sea" song:(

 

When I heard those, I always zoned right in and either thought about my upcoming cruise, or thought about booking.

 

Now, I have to admit, I also like the "buckle-up, buttercup" ads, they absolutely made me laugh.

 

I agree with you.....
