MJSailors Posted September 21, 2019 #26 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I am thinking about writing this post -tongue in cheek 😉 My wonderings are based on the recent changes made on some Celebrity ships . I wonder about lack of footstools,but I have read here on CC that they will return in several months - I wonder if the coffee tables will return - I wonder if we can enjoy breakfast again on the balcony- I wonder if comfortable furniture will replace the new on balconies- I wonder if more shade will be added to outdoor decks,especially the Sunset Bar area- I wonder if Celebrity will decide on their passenger focus, wether it is the Babyboomers or the Millennials - I wonder if we will be inclined to book another Celebrity cruise- Just MHO and two cents ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted September 21, 2019 #27 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Seems most of you like the ad. DIFFERENT STROKES😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Azulann Posted September 21, 2019 #28 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Great ad. Great song. Geared to boomers or their adult children. Loved the ending. Much better than a former Crystal ad with a woman in a ballgown sitting in a tree, whcih made no sense.

Had a wonderful Social Media project in deep discussions, and was fairly certain it was going to happen. Out of the blue, it fell apart earlier this week. While I'm extremely disappointed, I must move on. One thing I've learned from personal experiences, is that when something doesn't happen, it seriously hurts for a little while... but, it usually opens the door for something MUCH better. We'll see ! I've also been writing a book about Cruising and, in part, my experiences and passion for Social Media. Unsure if it will ever get it published, but only time will tell. In the meantime, I will try to be here as much as possible, and I'm thrilled to be back. Sad to see this forum so quiet. Hopefully, we can all change that. We will be first in line for that book....you are always right on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don’t care for it. And I agree that this ad only represents the Edge class ships. It is a very visually appealing ad. For those who are new to the music, no doubt that it is a hippie throw back drug song ...".feed your head." Even has the herb visuals.( And don't forget the EDEN incense) When they do one with Purple Haze, we'll be watching the Kool Aid.! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oville Posted September 22, 2019 #32 Share Posted September 22, 2019 9 hours ago, vtcruising said: The ad appeals to me because of the music, which evokes nostalgia, and having sailed the Edge, it matches my feelings for the Edge with its unique and often whimsical design, art and entertainment. I'm probably not in the group they are targeting, but if I hadn't sailed on Celebrity, I would be tempted to book. That said, as someone on the other thread said, if I booked another X ship , such as the Infinity, after seeing this ad (and might because of pricing), I would be quite surprised (and likely disappointed, if I had been expecting an edgy experience). BTW, I have sailed the Infinity a few times and enjoy the ship, but I know what to expect. Maybe the next ad will be “Knights in White Satin” by the Moody Blues. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noooo I seriously think you’re on to the song they should use leaving Malta. Much like “Time to say goodbye” out of Venice. You should market it. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmbar Posted September 23, 2019 #36 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Does anyone else think the new commercial is weird? Using Jefferson Airplane "White Rabbit" as the music seems very strange 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Junky Posted September 23, 2019 #37 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Love it. There’s already a post going on this from Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fouremco Posted September 23, 2019 #38 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I love the commercial! Of course, that is one of my favourite songs from the 60's, but the commercial and the song are in keeping with Celebrity's current theme of "Wonder Awaits".

Mojogurued Posted September 23, 2019 #46 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Folks I don't know how much advertising is true but I'm liking the energy in this ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted September 23, 2019 #47 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This ad is very well done. Appeals to the older folks like me with the song and the younger folks with the visuals. Nice mix. And good to see you posting here again Andy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted September 23, 2019 #48 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I showed it to my DH this morning. I thought would ridicule it, but he couldn't take his eyes off the commercial and watched the whole thing. He really liked it (of course he is a Grace Slick fan so that helped). Mixing that iconic song with some of our favorite spaces on the Edge drew us both in. I think it will be a winner - unfortunately the demand it may generate will keep the prices up...

vtcruising Posted September 23, 2019 #50 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) The video is only part of the ad campaign - I found some of the ads that we will be seeing in print. They are quite brilliant, IMO.
