Out of Iowa Posted January 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) This morning on TV, I saw a TV ad for Carnival Cruises. While it said they were at a Carnival destination, it showed three generations of a family jumping off a dock into the water together. Unless you were paying close attention, these fun people could have been leaping into any of the 10,000 lakes in Minnesota. [John Heald, if you are reading this, you can substitute "Cleveland, Ohio" for the reference to Minnesota.] Come on, Carnival....who's got the fun? Get a better TV ad: one that shows shipboard activities, the netted basketball court, Serenity deck, Hasbro game shows, main dining room dancing, Guy's Burgers, a family playing mini-golf with the sea in the background, the string lights on an open deck at nighttime, a deck party, movies under the stars...the gorgeous churning water behind the ship's wake, dolphins beside the ship, leaving SouthBeach behind in Miami... At least let creativity show that the fun happens onboard a Carnival ship. Edited January 15, 2023 by Out of Iowa punctuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidecat Posted January 15, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I'd at least feature Bolt, given that by December it will be on three ships, especially the ones that will still command a premium because of how new they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted January 15, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Bring back the ads with Katie Lee Gifford singing “In the morning,in the evening,ain’t we got fun!?”.😉 Remember those ads for the Fun Ships? Since Carnival and mostly all cruise lines took a major financial hit due to Covid, they might be choosing not to invest $$$ in glossy,hyped ads for now.

Rare EngIceDave Posted January 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) I think it's cool Princess has finally embraced "The Love Boat," by using the theme song in new commercials. Edited January 15, 2023 by EngIceDave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Iowa Posted January 16, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Carnival could inexpensively create a "retro" ad with some of Kathy Lee Gifford's old - and very catchy, if grammatically incorrect - song interwoven with all the features of today's onboard Carnival fun. Credit to Princess for embracing their Love Boat connection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they basically had to since they were affiliated with the Love Boat Australia TV show and probably had to go through some hoops with production to get the rights to that music. Once they paid for it, they're gonna use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in regards to Bolt. And bring back some Santa ads next December as well. Haven't seen Santa since 2020....🙂 🎅 🤶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
