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

I thought it was someone trying (and failing) to imitate the late Richard Burton.

I always find this ad a bit creepy. It's doesn't promote a cruise to me and I've been on one.

It is rather irritating I agree but it does remind me of the Caribbean cruise we went on in 1990 for our 25th wedding anniversary on the Cunard Countess. It was an amazing experience and if I went on another cruise, not likely, it would be with Cunard. Two of my uncles worked on Cunard ships in the 1950s as stewards on The Queen Elizabeth and The Queen Mary, they went to and from New York and came home with huge sums of money from tips. They gave us a selection of menus which were works of art in themselves but unfortunately my father gave them away much to my mother’s disgust. I don’t like the advertisement but it does take me down memory lane.

I am so glad you posted this. I cannot bear that ad ... everything about it induces severe nausea. I turn the sound off every time it comes on. Glad I am not the only crabby old bat!!

Like most ads, it's a distortion of reality. I suppose that's what the point of them is, create a dream in someone's imagination.
We went on a lovely cruise (not Cunard) but wouldn't rush to do another.
We certainly weren't languishing on sunbeds in the dark, dreaming of banquets, love, journeys or music.
The laundry was handy though 😉

I haven’t seen it but it sounds ridiculous. I have never wanted to go on a cruise anyway - the ad which talks of a cruise with ‘just 900-odd like-minded people’ says it all for me.
