CaveDiving Posted November 5, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I must have missed the new' date=' big HAL announcement. Can someone please fill me in, or direct me to the thread. Thanks.[/quote'] Believe me, you didn't miss much. To me the announcement was "we have a modified HAL logo and some software to show destinations and help pick excursions."

Blue Mudshark Posted November 5, 2015 #5 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I must have missed the new' date=' big HAL announcement. Can someone please fill me in, or direct me to the thread. Thanks.[/quote'] They supposedly have a new logo that they might start using some day. They think they have some cool new software but it doesn't do anything yet except send you to the Adriatic for your Alaska cruise. And they Care About You And Will Serve You Better With More Capitalized Platitudes, which amount to almost exactly nothing. The biggest thing was the breathless announcement of the bold, new, earth shattering, unprecedented ... something. It got progressively less impressive. especially as the Amazing Announcement Event was a bit of a disaster. You didn't miss anything. Maybe some marketing interns got a little carried away.

Krazy Kruizers Posted November 5, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'll have to go check out that "Big" announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 3rdGenCunarder Posted November 5, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Also a partnership with BBC World. It isn't clear what that entails. I suspect it gives HAL access to BBC's library of nature videos to show on the wonderful new high-tech screens in the showrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiz'nBaers Posted November 5, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) I just found the big announcement, sounds like a lot of nothing to me. Just my opinion, maybe others are more excited about it. Edited November 5, 2015 by Cruiz'nBaers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted November 5, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I thought the big announcement was about the new suite furnishings and enhancements. Where can I read about this announcement? Thanks. Go the the HAL website. There's a link to the video of the presentation, as well as descriptions of the exciting new initiatives. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the executive summary I have been waiting for, thanks Blue Mudshark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJSULIBRARIAN Posted November 6, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'll have to go check out that "Big" announcement. KK, If you have the time go to the CC thread entitled "Hal's new partnerships, upgrades, branding initiatives" (currently on page 2 of the HAL threads - I don't know how to put the thread link in here) and you can read 24 pages of the CC discussion on this event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
