looks good to me

[Merion_Mom]

Suave, sophisticated, hunger-inducing.............not sure that it's aimed at what now seems to be their primary customer pool: active families.

And looks like it covers all demographics from young to more "experienced" folks....K.O....:)

I liked it much better than the "The Nation of Why Not". :)

[mustangjoe]

Not too bad. Music is upbeat.

 

I still like "Get out There"

[At Sea 4Ever]

All there commercials get me excited! It's more sophisticated than past ones. My favorite was always the GET OUT THERE!

[CamaCama]

I really like it!

[sailingawaysoon]

We loved it. Very classy and upbeat. I watched it a couple times because regardless of what commercial they have put out there, it always gets me excited!

[Debitoo]

I agree: Classy and upbeat. I wanted to see more. I guess I'll have to book another cruise! :p:D

[MAHA]

Definately glad they got rid of the Nation of Why Not. Like this new commercial and liked the shell phone ones much better.

[Loyal2RCCL]

I saw it last night on TV for the first time and I liked it. It's about time they came up with a good commercial after the flops that were Nation of Why Not and Shell Phone.

I like it. Very upbeat.

So much better that the ones with people answering a shell phone, that one got old very quickly.

I like the new commercial too…also think it's much better than that Nation of Why Not nonsense!:rolleyes:

 

But my all time favorite RC commercial was that old one (6-7 or so years ago?) that played the old 70's tune, Iggy Pop's Lust for Life. That drumbeat made you look up and WATCH the commercial, and the music was great. (I think David Bowie wrote it?) That music just made me want to BOOK A CRUISE! Like RIGHT NOW.:p

 

I suspect the reason they stopped using the Iggy Pop song is that, while the music itself and the beat and tempo of the music is just great, Iggy Pop's lyrics are pretty dreadful for a family oriented cruise line…all about drugs and booze and the hard driving life of a heroin addict. RC changed the lyrics in the old commercial, but I bet they still took some flack for using that song!

 

Still…I miss it! It was effective - at least with me! - because ever since that old commercial, anytime I hear Lust for Life I think of cruising.;)

I agree I like it better than the NAtion of Why Not, at the end though it said 'No one does the CARIBBEAN like Royal. I assume this was featuring mostly their Caribbean destinations, although much of the images could be on any other destiantion...still like it!!

Very good and a vast improvement over the "Shell" (which IMO was terrible) and "The Nation of Why Not".

[lv2bcruzin]

It's ok, but nothing great.

I actually don't like it that much, too abstract for my taste. I with they were a little more focused on the ships themselves, rather than just a few quick glimpses as they are a cruise line...

[Cruising89143]

Keep in mind that they have 30 seconds to get their point across. What I see on the commercial shows what sets RCI apart from the other lines. Ice Skating, Zip Line, Flowrider, Chicago, etc. Pretty smart idea.

Just makes me more anxious for our next cruise -- but even the new Carnival commercials (which seem to be playing constantly) do that too me.

 

...but not enough that I want to cruise on Carnival ;)

[hansolosmom]

In a word WOW:D

 

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