Royal Caribbean Wants in on Carnival’s Fun

royal_caribbean_jenny_mccarthy.jpg

With a new ten minute film directed by and starring Jenny McCarthy, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines is aiming to get a seat at the “fun” table right there with Carnival. Of course, drawing that comparison is likely to anger both brands but when you get right down to it, all cruise ships are fun. Or at least they’re supposed to be.

The film, which pimps the cruise line’s newest ship, the very elaborate looking Allure of the Seas, has one couple working very very hard to get another together. Predictably, as with all relationship wars, everything turns high school complete with jealousy-inducing photos and all manner of pettiness.

But, since this is one gigantic ad, it, like all ads, ends well and everyone lives happily every after. As is always the case in ad world.
