People in the HAL ads

Does anyone out there look like the people shown in the online ads?:)

Hmmm. What do they look like?

• Tall. Nope - 4'11"
  
• Fit/slim. Nope, like most people. I'm a bit rounder than your "average" model.
  
• Really classy "cruise casual" clothing, flowy tops and/or pants (female) pressed chinos and button-down shirt (male). Wrong on both counts - tee-shirts and jeans/shorts, at least during the day. Plus the one outfit on the models probably cost more than my whole wardrobe.
  
• Hair = blonde and/or greying, but in an expensive classy way. Uh, well, my hair is platinum and dark purple and it does cost plenty to do that. Does that count?:D
  

Does anyone look like the people in the ads shown for any cruise line, anywhere? ;)

I do a bit- but really a lot more like George Clooney - I wish :D

Not us, unfortunately, although I still think my husband is a hunk! A good friend's husband is the silver fox model you see in some Princess and Disney ads. He has also done commercials. On top of all that, he is a super nice man!

Well, I'm tall 5'8", slim, and have one of those required short haircuts women my age

(63) get. Besides that I'm pretty wrinkled and only look half decent after a long stint behind the make-up mirror..............so no.

May I brag and say my tall , dark and handsome husband does ( he has those good Brazilian genes :) !

Bragging is only allowed when accompanied by a photo. :D

I would be so bold as to suggest they are models........ 'ya think? :D

Here is my honey advertising the balcony on the Eurodam... Just a peek at him , lol! He'd be mortified by this post!

It has been reported that one couple, that is seen in some Hal web site on-line videos is actually one of Hals Captain's and his wife. Can't remember the name.

I'm not a super model, and I've never appeared in a television ad, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night:D

Don't ever believe those people in HAL ads or any others are anything but models. The advertising is done through agencies submitting candidates, lots of walk through by models, final choices made by company and lots of work behind the scenes you finally get to see. It's not as glamorous as you would imagine but the pay is good, especially if residuals are involved. :D Guess that is why I enjoy trying to adhere to the dress code day and night! ;) At the age of 74 I'm still a little vain!!!:eek:

Nope. I'm too young ;) :p

Is this photo from you 'private collection' or is it actually published in HAL advertising? ;) :cool:

I am 59 going on 60 just like Christie Brinkley (the model), but good grief, I don't look anything like her.........let's face it, my Hollywood days are over! Christie is a freak of nature, too perfect, like most of the people in the HAL ads. I would guess that only a very small percentage of the world's population looks THAT good!

As an aside, I am glad I don't have that burden of being gorgeous, it would be too much work trying to stay that way IMO.

I do. Now. (LOL) Of course DH still has the body of a God.

Buddha is a God; right? :D

My private collection ...but I´d be happy to sell it to HAL for a free cruise!:)

Does anyone out there look like the people shown in the online ads?:)

Not I, too round through the middle :(

IMOP I kinda look like the some of the men in the ads, just a little younger. I always try to look neat with casual clothes during the day - khaki slacks and polo with boat shoes and then a jacket for dinner. By the pool, swimwear and t-shirt, sandals.

It is something people can strive. All the luggage restriction really make it difficult for cruisers to pack all the necessary items.

Of all the cruises I've been on, everyone has had a clean appearance with clean clothing. Taking a couple of extra seconds definitely makes a difference when looking in the mirror.

Anyway, just be yourself

A photo of our dog was actually used in HAL brochure about 7 or so years ago. :D Really, it was!!!!

Captain Jonathan Mercer has been in several HAL TV commercials. I've sailed with him so know what he looks like. No wonder HAL chose Capt. Mercer. He's a fine looking gentleman. Can't say I've seen his wife though.

I do. Now. (LOL) Of course DH still has the body of a God.

Oh you naughty girl!;)
