" Congratulations......Royal has fell to the depths of Walmart :rolleyes: Fell?;):p Ok beyond that editorial comment; I just have ro say, it's all about integrated marketing, they've done it with so many aspects of cruising. ( coke machines, Dreamworks, Tony Awards) I'm actually all for it, though we will never use this (or most of the other) premium experience, it will keep the cost of my cruise low. As long as my crusie is a value, I'll do it. And when I don't want to cruise with those types of experiences onboard, I cruise elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechcc Posted September 7, 2012 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2012 It sounds great to me. Love that they are doing something special for girls. And I had 2 sons and 2 grandsons with no daughters or granddaughters! Keep my cruise price lower, shouldn't interfer with my cruise - a win/win situation. Might have to give my nieces the cruise Barbie for Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted September 7, 2012 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I believe rci piloted this concept earlier (maybe 6-9 months ago) on fos. Apparently the pilot proved positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrljel Posted September 7, 2012 #10 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I believe rci piloted this concept earlier (maybe 6-9 months ago) on fos. Apparently the pilot proved positive. I was on FOS and witnessed the girls and this experience. If I was a little girl, I would have LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!!! It never interfered with anything else, but I wanted to see what al the girls did and thought it was absolutely darling. I am all for it. Think of Disney. How do you compete with them? By doing something like this it's a win/win for everyone. If I had a little girl that age, I would jump at the chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoopysnake Posted September 7, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 7, 2012 They've GOT to get Ken Rush involved in this because he has made so many remarks about (not) finding his Barbie on the cruise. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classynfun1 Posted September 7, 2012 #12 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Actually, I think everyone has it backwards. More driving more demand, there will be less supply and then the price goes UP! Good if you are a shareholder because higher prices usually mean higher profit. But, for those of us used to this price point, who knows how well this will work in our benefit... I can't turn off at night, even after I leave work. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marci22 Posted September 7, 2012 #21 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I guess that means more kids in the CL, lol (because $349 Barbie experiences directly correlate with suite purchases) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
