New Royal Caribbean commercial-What you think of it?

[Dharma517]

thumbs up!!:) I was sort of laughing too though because having I was also picturing the zoo in the windjammer during embarkation lunch, the line up to check out pool towels, and "washy washy" people as you enter to eat.

I wonder if a lot of the items (like sushi?) are actually extra charge items not included in the fare.

In a word WOW:D

 

It's very much the twitter generation with the snippets - can't focus too long on anything

 

True!!:):)

I'm pretty "meh" about this one. But the latest Carnival commercial, about all the memories you make on a cruise, chokes me up every.single.time. Bad. But I'm weird -- the "shell" commercials were my all-time fave for Royal! I guess they spoke to me, because that's exactly why I cruise -- because the sea calls to me. :)

Like it! However if you are only listening to TV and not watching it you will miss it, I have the thing on as background at times. It makes cruising seem very exciting not newlywed or nearly dead.

You can get sushi for no additional charge in the Jade section of the WJ everynight at dinner. Not every ship has Jade so I am not sure about sushi on those ships.

I like it but I really liked the seashell one better. It was SO cute! :D

lust for life!!!!!

[cruising to paradise]

It's great. Can't wait for January!

[Trekker954]

Pretty bland. I like the sea is calling.

[SamFritz]

I loved the images, but I want a theme song.

 

Just today I was listening to the start of the Jim Rome show on the radio. He uses "Lust for Life" in his intro. It still makes me think of Royal Caribbean. Maybe I'll start a thread for people to suggest a new Royal Theme.

You beat me to it. :p My mind twin, we think a lot alike!

I saw it and I like it. BUT....I will not hear that music randomly and think of cruising.

Totally agree. I've always liked Carnival's advertising better for whatever reason, perhaps they have a better ad agency. The "memories" one definitely hit home though as I've made MANY excellent, long-lasting memories on Carnival cruises... and Royal cruises too!

[Silvery Seas Cruiser]

Love the music. All the photos make me long for Allure. Independence is certainly good enough though. I have watched the ad several times because it makes me excited and happy to go on a cruise soon.

[kruzerci]

I like it.

 

.... But they will never come close to the "get out there" again!

[PSCruiser]

Best since they got rid of the drums!

[SherriZ366]

Thanks for posting the link. Maybe it will become a ring tone.

[mollyeilis]

Meh, no. 5 minutes later all I remember is that I need to book a massage at home (and I see the person having the hot rocks put on her back from the ad). Doesn't make me think of cruising.

AWESOME. I'd forgotten about that exact commercial, but we loved watching it at the time. Helped that our very first cruise was our honeymoon, on Radiance, in Alaska, in the timeframe when those ads were showing! We weren't doing any of those things shown in the ad or talked about, but the ad still was perfect and exciting and I wish they were doing those still.

 

 

 

As for the twitter generation...are we sure we should be encouraging those "let's pretend we have ADHD" types of commercials? If you can't even focus on an image aren't we just waltzing ourselves right into full-blown subliminal advertising?

[maureencruiser]

I love ALL cruise commercials, just because they make me happy. Stompy, do you remember the one with the guy golfing and just as he putts, the ship blows its horn? The Lust for Life commercials were all great, I love this song because of them. I loved the Carnival ones with anchors aweigh with the ships horn at the end. I found one on youtube, the guy is meh, but the horn is fabulous!

[TM38Rob]

With the W _ W having the images replace the "O" in WOW,

all I could think about is WWW as in http://www.royalcaribbean.com and how I can't access my reservation online since they did their system "upgrades".

 

The music made me think of the 1988 commercial, a much better commercial than this one.

 

Also liked the Lust For Life commercials.

I agree with this post. The first few times it was on, I was busy doing something else and not watching the TV. It needs some words. So many people are multi-tasking and not always watching what is on the TV screen. If you aren't watching, it has no effect on you.
