sppunk Posted February 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2017 HAL is set to announce a new celebrity voyage partnership tomorrow ((2/9/17) at 11:30 a.m. EST. Announcement will I believe be streamed live via the HAL Facebook page. Hint: I believe it involves a very famous woman from Chicago. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizer Bill Posted February 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I hope this is an early April Fool joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieanne Posted February 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I sincerely hope it's not on any of the cruises I plan to go on. And certainly not with the person being hinted. That would be a surefire way for me to cancel my booking and try a new line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellieanne Posted February 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I was wishing they were going to bring back the librarian:rolleyes: Maybe the "celebrity" will be the librarian. Surely one or two of them must have some marketable skills beyond being famous for being famous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelMagnolia9 Posted February 9, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Since it's Oprah, I'm going to speculate that this has something to do with Weight Watchers. Maybe something in the Culinary Arts Center, menu items or perhaps some WW cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoogs Posted February 9, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 9, 2017 what would this mean to the average cruiser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellieanne Posted February 9, 2017 #13 Share Posted February 9, 2017 what would this mean to the average cruiser? I'm guessing added security, more public spaces roped off for private events, and more up-charge "opportunities." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freestyling Posted February 9, 2017 #15 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I hope she is not on any cruises I have booked. Really don't need any public areas or restaurants closed for private events! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobinhume Posted February 9, 2017 #19 Share Posted February 9, 2017 This is amazing to me. I have never heard of or met anyone who doesn't like Oprah! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe something in the Culinary Arts Center, menu items or perhaps some WW cruises. Isn't "Weight Watchers Cruise" an oxymoron???? ;) Book Club?? Interesting guess. I don't think she'd do a lot of appearances, but maybe she will "curate" the book club, choosing books from her list. Perhaps HAL will occasionally book the author to do an appearance?

SteelMagnolia9 Posted February 9, 2017 #21 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Isn't "Weight Watchers Cruise" an oxymoron???? ;) Probably :)....but she recently bought a significant share of Weight Watchers and is now the face of this weight loss program. I think a lot of cruisers would like to eat healthier on a cruise...we'll see soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleherdl Posted February 9, 2017 #22 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Not interested in any itinerary with any 'celebrity' that is likely to diminish my personal cruise experience. I am even leery of my cruises with 'small' affinity groups. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micmac Posted February 9, 2017 #23 Share Posted February 9, 2017 The announcement is actually streaming live right now from the HAL page on Facebook if anyone is interested in watching. So far - they have announced a book club, additions to exercise (tai chi), new clothing merchandise. Additionally - they will be showcasing 4 adventure cruises with details "to come".
