Project Runway??

[warmwinds]

Are they serious?

 

I have, officially, dropped into the oblivion of those who are NOT their demographic.

[warmwinds]

Ok, just did a search...this was "announced" two days ago, but I just got the e-mail two minutes ago...I KNEW I was out of the loop! (and proud of it).

Eh, it's just product placement. Celebrity will sponsor an episode of the show and challenge the contestants (design new uniforms for our activity staff, or something like that) and in return they have basically an hour of free advertising.

 

It won't affect anyone who actually cruises.

I am 64 and I love Project Runway.

Is that the show where the skinny stick pretty black girl picks who will be a model?

 

Have they ever SEEN who is around the T-pool, Lol?

No, it's the show where clothing designers do weekly challenges in designing clothes. Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are the hosts. Great fun to watch.

Is it on over the air TV channels ?

I have no cable or satellite TV

But I would not watch this show anyway

I think it is a waste of promo money

Please Celebrity stop making your cruise line a fluff cruise line

It is on LIFETIME so if you don't have any cable you won't be watching

it.

I imagine Celebrity, like all major consumer organizations, has an advertisement budget, and people who have much training, education and experience making decisions on how best to spend that money.

Like overnighting in the Caribbean, this is being introduced because there's a huge demand from passengers. :rolleyes:

[artlovr]

I love Project Runway. I'm looking forward to seeing the episode on August 20th!

I do not think Lifetime is on any Canadian cable / satellite TV .

So I guess they really should not be sending me these emails

 

 

Looks like there a lifetime ca station so I was wrong

 

My OTA reception is better than we were on cable / satellite :-)

Am in the UK and have watched the series when it has been screened. Love it.

They'll get more than an hour of advertising, though it's not free. They're giving the winner a cruise, so Celebrity will be mentioned every time the show airs, and this series is very popular and replays often.

 

I am looking forward to this episode, just as I looked forward to the episode of Top Chef where the contestants were on board the Millennium to Alaska. I prefer this type of advertising campaign over the type that gives free picnic baskets to people in a park.

I love Project Runway, but our Canadian Lifetime channel doesn't show it. At one time the season started here when it was almost over in the US, but at least we got to see it. Haven't been able to watch it in a couple of years.

I thought the Top Chef promo was fun. Why not have tie-ins to popular shows?

 

That said, if they ever hook up with the Kardashians or Honey Boo-Boo, it's all over between Celebrity and me.

I am 64 and I love Project Runway.

I am "well over 29" and I love it, too.

 

I can barely sew on a button so the clothes they make from "scratch" and in such a short amount of time is awe inspiring.

Ditto for me...:cool:

I don't watch the show but I do know of it. It looks to me like a new marketing strategy. When it was announced, it looks like a new perk or specialized cruise. To me, the announcement was a little misleading.

I like the show, I fail to see how it can be a negative for anyone sailing on Celebrity

And how is it a positive for Celebrity?...watching some designers who

want to be the next ....pick a label......what does that have to do with

cruising on Celebrity? It may not be negative but just wondering what

it has to do with cruising? I can understand Top Chef...culinary field...

Food is always be associated with Cruising.

 

I have watched the show in the past.....maybe I am just turning

cynical as I get older:rolleyes:.....I fail to see how 16 people who are fighting

for the best design (yes, they fight.....it is a reality show after all)...

I fail to see how it is associated with a cruise on Celebrity....but

it doesn't matter what I see or don't see......it is not my call.

 

Ms Lutoff-Perlo is the only person that matters and I guess she sees

$$ signs.......

Clearly Celebrity feels it's beneficial to appeal to an audience they may not be currently accessing. Seems like a creative way to reach new cruisers. Obviously the demographic for Project Runway is one Celebrity wants to reach.

[debkaysmith]

Yes, please and thank you! I LOVE Project Runway and I LOVE Celebrity. What a great way to get two of my favorites together in one attractive package. Can't wait!!

For those who care, the season premiere is this Thursday, August 20th:

 

http://www.celebritycruises.com/captains-club/whats-new?event_date=2015-07-09&sequence_code=a&pageNumber=

 

Celebrity looks to be somewhat heavily involved with the show. Not only in providing a grand prize for the winner, but Celebrity President and CEO Lisa Lutoff-Perlo will be on the show as well.
