cme2c Posted October 26, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I understand the Halloween reference but advertising cruising as "Frightfully fun" in the present environment? Is it just me or is that a little tone deaf? (I tried but couldn't embed a link for some reason) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted October 26, 2020 #2 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Is that a current advertising programme? Or is it advertising their usual October 'Halloween' themed cruises? Edited October 26, 2020 by Aus Traveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted October 26, 2020 #3 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Isn't this a US promotion? https://www.carnival.com/funtastic-holiday-cruises/frightfully-fun-halloween-cruises Halloween's a big thing there so it just goes with the Halloween theme everywhere. I doubt it would be exceptional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted October 27, 2020 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2020 A cruise where you can drink plenty of spirits.🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted October 30, 2020 #5 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Yeah I was right. This is a US campaign, and so isn't out of place there. An AU campaign has just been launched, which is "SPOOKTACULAR 3 DAY SALE" with "Scary low rates." https://www.carnival.com.au/cruise-search?cruisedeals=spooktacularsale Nothing wrong with that.

Rare MicCanberra Posted October 30, 2020 #6 Share Posted October 30, 2020 LOL, except for maybe the very weak tie in to Halloween for cruises that are not on during halloween but that is commercialism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
