sapper1 Posted July 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Maybe a new ad agency is in order-----one that hires people who are less geographically challenged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Thank you for the link to the video. Interesting is about all I will say about HAL and countries and continents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRL_Joanie Posted July 26, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Watch (and read) the new HAL commercial on youtube carefully :'):'):') https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFONFWkQYCI&t=68s Had to slow the speed down by 25% to hear the man speaking/narrating and glad I did. He and the video do not say 90 Continents, they both say and show 100+. Do not know who HAL's Ad agency is, but their proof reader goofed, BIG TIME!!

sail7seas Posted July 26, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 26, 2017 But just think of the new itineraries - sailing the seventy-four seas! There have been some complaints about too many ships in ports and over crowding. HAL has found a way to solve that issue. they alone know of these new continents and will have them all to themelves...... no other ships to crowd the ports. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe now "discovers over 90 new continents" doesn't sound so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TiogaCruiser Posted July 26, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 26, 2017 But just think of the new itineraries - sailing the seventy-four seas! Ah- but only 7 countries...... 100 Cintinents- my gosh, this must be the "new math"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kira5 Posted July 26, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 26, 2017 But I think it is interesting that the ad producers seem to know what people are looking for when they choose Holland America. Serenity, beautiful decor, cleanliness, peace and quiet, varied and professional entertainment. good service, friendly staff, no line-ups, a little 'Old World' ambience . . .

catl331 Posted July 26, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I know, but if you deduct the 7 existing continents from the anounced 100+ continents in the add......... And don't forget that Pluto is no longer considered a continent. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there will be a smart alec eager to point out to me new continents have been discovered,. :D ... and that I best go back to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tampa Girl Posted July 26, 2017 #20 Share Posted July 26, 2017 And don't forget that Pluto is no longer considered a continent. :D I think you hit on it! The confusion is not continents v. countries. It's continents v. planets. That explains everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
