Anthem Godmother contest

[Lloyd555]

Royal Caribbean has created a new campaign called 'A Godmother Like No Other - Could it Be You?' a contest to find the ship's godmother. It is looking for a female travel agent to become the new Godmother.

Are they serious? Travel agent as a godmother? Sounds like kissing and licking certain body parts.

Quantum has a Broadway Star as Godmother...while Anthem will have a Travel Agent as Godmother ..no offense to UK TAs but wow bit of a difference. :confused:

[Turtles06]

Wow, this seems really tacky (and I mean no offense to any TAs, anywhere).

 

And it's a pretty big step down from Kristin Chenoweth to Ms. TA.

 

:eek:

Actually they are looking for a at least 21 year old female from the UK working as a travel agent who can also sing :eek::eek::eek:!

LOL. It's like they completely forgot about needing to line up a godmother until it was too late.......

It's like the Freedom class all over again, can anyone name one of their godmothers? Probably not because they were all random people and travel agents, nobody famous or special. At least this matches there new slogan, "Royal, what made we were?". Nothing's special to them any more. I swear NCL has more appreciation of their product than anyone now a days. They had a huge celebration sailing for Getaway's birthday while Royal did nothing for Quantum's inaugural, even her christening was simplistic compared to most. Cunard just put on a huge firework display in Long Beach because the Queen Elizabeth met the Queen Mary for the first time. The Queen Victoria also had her own fireworks display in Southampton to welcome her back from a refit and to wish her bon voyage on the start of her world cruise. Even Princess put on a firework display for there new ship after she was christened even though she had already been sailing for 6 months. Royal couldn't even send an intern to Bayonne to welcome Quantum to the US. Really sad how little they seem to care about their product compared to the people that sail on them. Not sure why we expected more though, the execs don't even show up for the steel cutting or keel laying ceremonies anymore.

I've been complaining about Royal's new too-cool-for-school attitude for nearly a year now. They do what they want, when they want, and don't particularly care what anyone thinks about it. The roll out of the Quantum was so thoroughly botched from beginning (refusing to divulge any information for an unreasonable amount of time) to end (when the ship debuted not ready for prime time). I think it's hilarious that that roll out earned Lisa Lutoff-Perlo a promotion. Sure, it's their prerogative to act in such a manner as a private for profit corporation... But I really do not know who they think they are impressing.

 

Ive seen more and more RCI posters drifting over to the NCL board of late. I booked 2 RCI cruises this year, and both booking experiences were frankly miserable due to a myriad of IT issues and outright lies about cabin accommodations. On the contrary, I've had no such issues with my 2 NCL reservations -- the one I sailed last November or my Escape reservation for next year. I plan to book Oasis III, but I'm nervous about how much of an ordeal it will be, to be frank. The on board experience on my RCI cruisers this year better be a significant improvement over the booking experience.

LOL! What a bunch of asses they are!!!:rolleyes:

[floridaglen]

It strikes me that nobody wanted the job!

I suppose it could just be that they want to reward somebody who works hard at promoting their product. I think this is a great idea. Much prefer so called 'normal' people being given the role.
