miched Posted October 4, 2019 #201 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I don’t watch commercials as we record everything except for live sports events and then during the commercial I will switch to another sporting event. Sorry but TV commercials don’t influence any purchase. Sad that cable TV started out as commercial free and now besides paying for that service we are subjected to more commercials happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare killsport Posted October 4, 2019 #203 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I have 2 booked cruises on X. Probably our last. In our 40s and X no longer provides us with value for our vacation time / money. The ads are ... well... stupid. In no way do they encourage us to book. Then again, we haven’t done acid - maybe that’s now the prerequisite. After reaching Elite a few years ago, we just haven’t enjoyed our cruises. Too much selling and nickel / dime-ing. If it works for you, or you enjoy your acid trips, have fun. For us, land vacations are in our future. Better food, service, and experience. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted October 4, 2019 #204 Share Posted October 4, 2019 If I never sailed a cruise with Celebrity or if I had never cruised at all that commercial wouldn't compel me to. The commercial is a lot about nothing. Well at least they stopped the Modern Luxury campaign. Celebrity has become everything but luxury unless you book a suite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both quite like the commercial, but I have to agree with the land trip comment. Most of our cruise plans lately and future have been dropped for land trips. Much better value and more control. By the time you add in tips, drink upgrades, now perk upgrades, there’s no value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ,now you have to hallucinate back to a past Celebrity experience to see any value for your money. Unfortunately when Captain Kate wakes you up you realize the new reality is the bad trip.

Rare NMTraveller Posted October 4, 2019 #207 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I thought that the commerical was both weird and strange. Of course it showcases Eden on the Edge or one of the new ships. I thought that Eden on the Edge was both weird and strange. I never did figure out what that dark area on the Edge was supposed to be for either. Ha ha. It looks like X has a new target cruiser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NMTraveller Posted October 4, 2019 #216 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Regarding Eden. There were some incredibly talented singers and acrobats in Eden. However the cheesy, strange, and weird show/skits reminded me of Taco Bell. If they could put together a coherent show that would be the toast of the town. They have the talent, now combine it in a good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted October 4, 2019 #217 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) My very 1st concert was at the Filmore East in 1968 and the JA of course played that song, so I smiled at the new ad while wondering why X chose it. I did enjoy the previous no borders ad. Alas, Capt. Kate has left the Equinox, so there is no way she can wake me up when I cruise that ship later this month. Sigh. 😄😜😲 Edited October 4, 2019 by evandbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymich Posted October 4, 2019 #218 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I think they raised the drink packages to pay for the commercials. Sorry.....couldn't resist 😃 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickels Posted October 4, 2019 #219 Share Posted October 4, 2019 No commercial has ever influenced me to make a purchase; but...we consider some of them quite entertaining. Have you notice that a lot of commercials, for whatever product or service, are using some of the old tunes? Some have really taken the time to make a great commercial, [great marketing department] others, are just plain stupid. Celebrity has done a good job with it's latest ad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy would I be disappointed to see this and then board a non Edge class ship if I'd never sailed X before, since the whole ad seems to centre around Eden. Eden is in itself weird strange and just weird. What is that dark room on the Edge in the commercial. That is a weird room.

Very retro hippie druggie which fits in well with the college dorm style decor and college cafe feel of EDEN. Wonder if this is this the same ad and entertainment company that did the EDEN and Edenist stuff, plus the initial wierd role playing stuff in the Club... mostly all gone. We liked EDGE and the bright airy EDEN space but have no interest in the show itself or incense. We are hoping when we return in a few weeks , things will have evolved into a more grown up sophisticated experience. As of Sept 9 cruise Eden was still weird role playing skits.

mdpa Posted October 5, 2019 #222 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Seems like they are trying to hard be too cool...maybe they are targeting affluent people who wish they were more popular. IMHO dumb ad campaign. I simply want great value with premium food, amenities, and atmosphere along with a unique itinerary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Bell is doing their own 123GO! promo with bottomless drink refills, free gratuities, and complementary Wi-Fi. They also have anytime dining, and free window upgrades with combo packages. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondSuiteCruiser Posted October 5, 2019 #225 Share Posted October 5, 2019 We DVR most things so we can skip the ridiculous amount of commercials. Now a days they turn a 30 min show into an hour, and 50% of it is commercials. We saw the new commercial once, and it is Alice in wonderland trippin! It’s Not marketing to our demographic, I’m not sure what the demographic is targeting? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
