Spif Barwunkel Posted October 6, 2019 #228 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Quite frankly folks, some of you are thinking way to deeply on this while others remain in their self imposed hallucinatory funk with no cognitive recognition. "Wonder Awaits" is elaborately well done yet simple in its intention. "Cruise Celebrity and experience the wonderment of something beautiful, unexpected and unfamiliar." Celebrity is smart enough to know that its new brand offering is not for everyone. However, X is also smart enough to know that even the most successful product must explore new challenges in order to satisfy the cruising public (age notwithstanding). Unfortunately, some folks are unable and/or unwilling to understand and accept change (age notwithstanding). It's that hallucinatory funk thing, which like the ad campaign has nothing to do with drugs or the sixties etc. It just has to do with today and beyond. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driftychick Posted October 7, 2019 #229 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I totally agree with Spif Barwunkel. Well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth2718 Posted January 3, 2020 #230 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Celebrity quote: "We invite you on a journey that will awaken every sense, including your sense of wonder and intrigue, like never before." Interesting choice of a song for a cruise commercial since it's about doing drugs and they chose the part of the song that talks about dropping acid.

However, it only got my attention because I couldn't figure out why on earth they would use that song for a commercial especially when there are too many of us out there that know what the song is about.

RickT Posted January 3, 2020 #235 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) Not an issue unless you want it to be. Don’t forget Royal Caribbean used Iggy Pop’s Lust for life in an ad campaign years ago. That song was often referred to as an “Ode to drug culture”. Edited January 3, 2020 by RickT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdpa Posted January 3, 2020 #236 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) It seems like everyone wants to be cooler/more hip in their own minds than in real life. This ad targets old people who want to feel cooler than they are...for me these attempts are way too transparent and offend my intelligence. I am not that smart, so I suspect other people find these ads a distraction from what they hope will be a decent product.

bEwAbG Posted January 3, 2020 #237 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I am catching up on my Fall TV watching and an episode of Law & Order: SVU from November used the song to underscore the opening scene in which a cult-like group is drugging & assaulting tourists. It made me think of Celebrity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted January 4, 2020 #238 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Perhaps you don't watch much network tv, OP, but that ad has been out for months, and discussions on this board have already beaten it to death multiple times since day 1..

Beth2718 Posted January 4, 2020 #239 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Yes I do watch TV and just started noticing it after Thanksgiving. Sorry if I didn’t see it earlier or the “discussions” beating it to death! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluso Posted January 4, 2020 #244 Share Posted January 4, 2020 We were young adults in that time frame, it was cool. Times and "we" have changed. Glad we don't watch TV anymore. We cut that cable 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband and I are in our late 60’s and White Rabbit is on my husband’s playlist on his IPhone and it plays in our car. We are baby boomers (grew up in the 60’s) but never did drugs. The song is just nostalgia and puts us in a relaxed mood. We will be on the Edge for 2 weeks this winter and look forward to a different experience than the other 20+ cruises we have sailed on. Hope Captain Kate,, who is in the commercial, is still on board on January 26. She was our Captain on the Equinox last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidik Posted January 4, 2020 #249 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Worst idea for a commercial/song I've ever seen in my 60 years, that is for sure. I cringe every time this comes on the tv. And working with adolescents and young adult substance abusers, this is now their current anthem.....most had never even heard of this song/message until Celebrity chose to use it to promote Wonder. Why would Celebrity promote "wonder" through psychedelic drug use?v Are you kidding me? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
