Touching/Heartwarming DCL Ad

[Kit Jackson]

Between the towel dog and this new ad that I saw during the Oscars, whoever is creating the ads for DCL is absolutely earning their paycheck.

Totally agree!

 

[bakofarmgirl]

loved it!

 

[keishashadow]

predictable, nice ad tho

I've now see the short version of this ad 3 times in the last 30 minutes. The longer one is better, but the short one is OK.

I can’t watch this without crying. It’s so us. 15 years of cruises with our only son. The only part that would be changed in our world is where the teen son hangs out in the cabin. The past three years, it’s all about “I will be hanging out with my new friends, see you at 4 am”. Amazing the amount of friends he has met over the years that he still stays in touch with. What a great preview to cruising with future grandchildren! Kudos to the DCL marketing team! Looking forward to what else you have up your sleeves!

My husband told me about this ad last night! Made him cry too. When you're the age we are (mid 50s, with our daughter now in her mid 20s), it definitely brings a lump to the throat! Thanks to the OP for posting it so we can all watch it.

With the Up music are they hinting about the next ship?? Loved the ad, would love to know about the next ship.

I understand this is all pure speculation and most of probably have no inside information. What do you think they are hinting at by using "Married Life" from Up?

100% speculation based off of a post I read here that said MAYBE the new ship would be Pixar centric. Also the commercial was shared by Pixar too.

Off to google YouTube…then realized Kit had done the work for me Coffee hasn’t hit yet!

Such a sweet commercial. My version would be WDW, not DCL, but brings back so many memories

This commercial really hit home considering we started cruising with DCL when our 3 kids were young back on the MV of the Magic in 1998. Over the years they grew up on DCL trips and now all have their own kids and we love cruising with them and the grandkids. Seeing grandpa walking the deck with his little grandson in the commercial just floored me emotionally as that is so real and something we have experienced when one couldn't sleep. It just fills my heart.

This one just kills me!

Its so cute, and fun that so many families DID "grow up" with DCL from the beginning.

 

[RichVIII]

Yup. Cried.

Started WDW with 2 year old who has grown up Disney. My now, teenager has been cruising with us of late. For my teen, it would be see you late tonight after I hang out with friends at Vibe.

Disney >>>>>>>>>>> other cruise lines

I literally boo at competitors when their ads air on TV lol…

 

[PrincessShmoo]

I've only seen a shorter version since the first day. Or, they've cut the bit with the teenager closing the curtain in Dad's face (at least).

 

[MamaMermaid]

Cried!! My husband and son do this every trip. I can only hope that my son will include us in the future with his family!

 

[towels]

Only change I'd have made is have the first lobby walk be in the Magic class ships. Otherwise the commercial is taking place in the future.

Good point.
