“ I wonder, I wonder” That Cunard ad on tv.

I dislike this add intensity. It’s totally unrealistic and creepy. Certainly does not make me want to go on a cruise!

I turn the sound off during adverts on the rare occasion I watch anything with adverts. Good time to go to the loo make coffee etc!

I have never and will never go on a cruise. That ad sounds silly and stupid.

The ads that drive me crazy are for pharmaceuticals, with unpronounceable names (can I have a vowel or two, please?), such happy people portrayed, and if you don’t have this affliction… well you’re just not with the “in” crowd. Take this and it will change your life!

Seems like half of America is comprised over-medicated stone-cold zombies. Maybe that’s why our politics are all screwed up.

Whenever this advert comes on my blood pressure goes up - I absolutely hate it! I quite agree that it’s very patronising, aimed at women who dream about this sort of thing, when the reality is totally different. In the real world I booked a Saga cruise for DH, who has limited mobility and me. A great cruise!

Always mute ads or change channels immediately. Some of them are on repeatedly and become increasingly annoying. Im thinking particularly of weight loss ad, selling your gold ad and numerous cremation ads. Not a fan of ads and wonder if anyone actually watches them let alone be influenced to buy.

It was the suggestion about love affairs that blew it for me. Rather seedy, chauvinistic, and old fashioned.

I love it….sets me thinking…always reminds me of Richard Burton, super voice!….the full literary passage is much better though!……..but never realised it was selling cruises! Never watch ads just listen! So wasted on me, can’t see me captive in a hotel on the sea with 100’s of others…yuck!

Haven't seen that one but the ad for Viking cruises on one of the Freeview channels with the breathy girl's voice makes me want to throw something at the screen. I think it's shown around the Poirot series but could be wrong 🤢🤢🤢

I don’t think I ve ever seen it, is it an ITV one ?

I love cruises, but I’ve never wanted to try Cunard. They sound too formal and snobby.
It’s interesting that some people say they don’t like cruises when they’ve never tried one! There’s no problem with being ‘stuck’ on a ship - there’s so much to do, and if you don’t want to do anything, there are plenty of quiet corners, lounges, decks, or maybe your own balcony…😎 I’d rather wake up in a different place every morning than be ‘stuck’ in one hotel for a week or two!!
The advert which annoys me at the moment is the Audi one with Jorja Smith. I had to Google who she is. It’s on ITV every few minutes. Are those lips real?! 🤔

I've been on several cruises, one on a yacht with only 36 guests and the most recent Cunard, The Queen Elizabeth and enjoyed them all. That advert wouldn't persuade me to book a cruise though.

It irritates me too! Dreaming first of all of love affairs,I think not!more like nightmares!

Hubby loves cruises and I don’t mind them. Better than flying which I hate get on at Southampton get off sheer luxury for me . Do like the though as ever is done for you.

I cannot abide it. What it is offering in the dream are situations that I would hate anyway. Dressing up and fine dining ( albeit alone) are my idea of hell. I cringe every time it comes on.

Am I allowed to complain about another holiday ad?
Close your eyes now and swiftly move on if so.
It’s a cheap flight one, can’t remember exactly which.
Two women in an open topped car. The driver is having such a fabulous carefree holiday that she celebrates by taking off her headscarf and throwing it out of the car🤷🏼‍♀️.
What is that about?

Thelma and Louise?
Perhaps they don't know what happened to them!

That’s not my problem and I’m sure you are right but….I just want them to stop the car and pick it up!!

Awful, just awful. I have been on many cruises, as Mt husband and I find that cruises tick most of our holiday "boxes", but the Cunard advert is trite, boring and totally unappealing. I doubt whether anyone has booked a cruise with them on the strength of this advert!

Mt husband = my husband!

The ad also annoys me intensely especially as my husband always continues the rhyme
"I wonder, I wonder
What you would do
If you went to the loo
and couldn't do
a great big poo"

Orly…that made me laugh 😂 thankyou

They are a spoof on the Girl with the pearl earring painting. Setting herself free on holiday, the full ad shows mona Lisa escaping too.

I dislike the ad too!
I’ve been on 2 Cunard cruises and am about to go on a third, this time on the Queen Elizabeth. I don’t find them at all snobby. Like any other cruise you’ll find a wide variety of people. Last year we met some “ordinary” people like us. Any holiday is what you make it. There are far too many preconceptions about cruising usually from those who have no idea what they’re like. Regarding the cost it’s clearly not a cheap holiday but surprisingly affordable in comparison with some. We search for good deals and usually find something.

It's ghastly, it makes me want to be sick, I also don't really understand what the advert is trying to say. Is it suggesting that we should lean on the ship's rail and reminisce about our affairs (if we had any). It is pretentious rubbish.

I can’t bear it, don’t know why, but obviously not alone by reading your replies.
