Anybody have a idea what carnival is announcing today.

[LMaxwell]

The fact that they are bringing the celebrity DJ to the announcement doesn't have me enthused.

 

We just want a pool band and some steel drums. Not 24/7. Not all the time or every venue. But on the pool deck during the day would be nice...

[fuddrules]

I didn't want to speculate but... since we're going down that road.

 

I'm guessing that Carnival is going to announce that they are mandating that John be required to wear pants when he blogs.

 

John will get up on stage and not understand the fuss but will agree never to again blog in just his underpants.

For what it's worth, Carnival just started following Jennifer Hudson on Instagram a few days ago.

Coincidental?

 

Jennifer is the spokesperson for Weight Watchers. That doesn't sound cruise related to me :eek:

I'll have to say that the most frustrating thing about CC is the amount of people who don't read the freaking threads before posting.

 

The announcement is not going to be about ships!

 

The announcement is definitely going to be about entertainment!

 

D.J. Irie flew in with Micky Arinson for the press conference/announcement.

Flew in? The corporate Lear hasn't touched down at Teterboro yet.

You're right. He drove.

:confused:

Whatever :rolleyes:

I didn't check to see if they landed or not.

He's on a plane with Arinson.

Ugh, is that what they fly? A Lear? In corporate flying world, that's like a Pinto!

I'm with you on this one.

It's not Europe 2015 or the new ship. Watching john's Facebook like a hawk today

Carnival is the budget line ;)

Only if Mickey pays off Rupert Murdoch.

This type of announcement would not take place for steel drums or something so small scale. There is going to be some type of entertainment partnership fleet wide. I remember John hinting at something a few weeks back, but I can't remember exactly.

[krunch]

Well, it sounds entertainment related...

 

Maybe Dr. Seuss Vs. Funship Freddy mud wrestling? :p

It is not Europe in 2015 I am afraid, we have to wait a bit longer for that.

OH I KNOW, I KNOW!

American Idol at Sea!

And again I say she is the Godmother of the Disney Dream. There is no way Disney would allow her to promote Carnival.

The BB King House of Blues tie in with sister-line Holland America has been getting rave reviews, perhaps a tie in with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or some sort of name brand cover acts?

 

I remain hopeful of what the actual announcement will be. Entertainment has become a very weak spot on CCL and they finally seem to recognize they are "making the pizza too cheap" and taking corrective measures.

[Tapi]

That wouldn't be far fetched, considering that Holland America does Dancing with the Stars

[The4Cruisers]

Maybe they'll announce that George Lopez has finally come up with an original and funny joke that they'll be rolling out at the comedy clubs across the fleet. :p

That would depend upon the contract they signed with her and if it specifically limited her involvement with another cruise line. If it did limit it then it could have been only for a set period of time.
