The new NCL mailing is out...

[ew101]

The new 8.5/11 NCL brochure arrived in the mail.  "Feel Free to Take a Peek at Your Next Vacation."  I notice no one in any photo is wearing a mask and the black stack smoke has been carefully airbrushed away.   I get it these were printed in October, but my reading of the Lanham Act of 1946 Lanham Act - Wikipedia would seem to indicate these should have gone to the recycling and not the post office.

So what is your point.

False advertising? Is that the point the OP is trying to make?

Shut down? I just got back from a lovely weekend in NYC to see Moulin Rouge.

So then every magazine out there should be recycled for false advertising. 
airbrushing of models and false articles

toss it all… it will make my job at the post office easier….

So what?  What is it that you are promoting?

That is two minutes of my time I will never get back. Wish I could unread that.

What does the black smoke stack have to do with anything - i’m confused?

[PTC DAWG]

One of the more original threads ever…mind boggling..along for the ride.

NCL is evil.  The rest is just details....

ok, since i havent gotten this mailing, for the sake of argument   i'll assume you are correct... so what! no masks, no smokestacks thats the fault of the photographer 

 

 did the brochure give you the correct information about cruises, ports of call, and prices? if so, isnt that what a brochure is for? did it include false or inaccurate information? 

 

methinks you dost protest (way) to much.

if you think there is a problem, either throw away the brochure, or book with a different line. while i agree there is a lot to complain about with ncl, dont nit pick. as they say:"dont sweat the petty stuff, and dont pet the sweaty studd)

I thought it was a beautiful, well made brochure. But keep in mind, this IS the Cruise Critic forum so anything goes.

Speaking of sweating and beautiful, I think the 'passengers' in the brochure were way too good-looking.

It might make the job easier, but it will also eliminate overtime and overtime pay. be careful for what you wish for.😉

airbrushing of models is just awful! also one home show i watch puts pancake face on all the realtors, even the men! they look like dolls. who likes airbrushing, ick? 

 

all natural is the best so if the NCL ad doesnt have natural then i think we need to burn it! 😉
