HAL's new partnerships, upgrades, branding initiative

[InTheWASide]

and people still coming in - one of my pet peeves when I was working was LATENESS - come on folks

 

Yeah... makes you wonder if it's starting late because so many people are late...

[sppunk]

OK I have a lunch meeting, I'm ripping the video feed so I have laughs when I come back.

[InTheWASide]

And here we go

[sppunk]

LOL they can't even get a video to play. Good lord.

Let's hear it for HAL's tech department. :D

[indokiwi]

Did I miss something, but didn't they already announce on Monday that they were rebranding from Signature of Excellence to Savor the Journey and a new logo? We have friends who work in the Seattle office and they posted it on their Facebook page.

Technical difficulties!

Could it be Explorer Expiditions around the world with HAL!

Monday was an employee only announcement and they were told by the CEO to say nothing to anyone

[DeeniEncinitas]

3 ground breaking announcements!

Ok😄

Another ship added for exploration? Maybe.

Hotel? Hummmm?

Well, that sure worked well. Since I am not an employee, I do not feel bad at all for sharing it. Looks like they got rid of the little Half Moon from the logo and only have the large cruise ship.

Someone needs to be fired today. This is absurdity at its highest level.

Well, so much for history and tradition...

:(

Wow - what a train wreck of a press conference.

[ksc1984]

If one wants to be seem upscale, shouldn't a tie be in order for the presentation? I love the AV here.

[cruisemom42]

Did they not walk through this ahead of time? :rolleyes:

[Fouremco]

I feel embarrassed just watching!

[3rdGenCunarder]

Now the powerpoint clicker isn't working. This does not instill confidence...

yeah

[InTheWASide]

Well, so much for history and tradition...

:(

 

they've changed the logo/stacks/flags numerous times over 140+ years

[DeeniEncinitas]

How sad!!!!

Such a terrible intro!

So far boring.

Need to get to the core of this news podcast!

He got the memo about gala night dress code--tie not required.

Mr. Ashford might be a wonderful CEO, and I'm sure he's a great man, but he is not a good public speaker whatsoever.

[cbr663]

Too many words and too many power point slides. Orlando Ashford should never be allowed to do this again. Talk about re-enforcing the reputation of HAL being boring. :eek:
