Launching a movement
![Page 2: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Love to Cruise is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about the benefits of cruising and about cruise culture, while celebrating the people who embrace this extraordinary path to discovery and adventure.
![Page 3: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Goal• Energize cruisers to cruise
again and again
• Attract and engage the 97% of vacationers who have never cruised
• Motivate the 23% of non-cruisers who say they expect to cruise in the next three years
![Page 4: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
![Page 5: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Expanding the funnel• Current industry efforts to
engage start with people who are already thinking about cruising
• Love to Cruise will get the attention and interest of those who aren’t even thinking about cruising
• Conversation, not information, will be the magnet
Attention
![Page 6: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Sharing is the new economic engine
• The value of online sharing consistently outperforms both consumer ratings and reviews, and an online share carries essentially the same value as in-person recommendation.
• A positive recommendation is more important to consumers than price and brand combined, with a relative importance of 57 percent for a recommendation, compared to 28 percent for price and 16 percent for brand...
• More than 85% of consumers do not trust messages from companies.
From 2014 Return On Sharing Report, ShareThis/BeresfordResearch, based on a survey of 6,000 consumers; 2013 Gartner Study
![Page 7: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What we know
![Page 8: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cruisers• Cruisers represent only 3% of total vacationer
market
• 77% of people who have cruised are interested in cruising again
• 54% of people who have cruised are likely to cruise again
• Cruisers are like other vacationers who share their experiences
• 17,463,281 address/mail records for self-identified cruise enthusiasts in U.S. alone
SOURCE: CLIA (2011) Lab42 Market Research (2012)
• 40% of vacationers post activity/attraction reviews• 76% of vacationers post vacation photos to a social network
![Page 9: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Non-cruisersLots of negative information and conversation to scare them off
• Tens of billions of negative media• Impressions have hurt demand• Misconceptions are pervasive
![Page 10: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Would-be cruisers• Vacation choices are heavily influenced by WOM
• 92% of consumers trust recommendations from their friends; 70% trust opinions posted online
• 62% of people say WOM is important in considering vacation; 80% say it is important in considering ocean cruises
• 81% of people say reviews by other travelers most helpful in determining vacation plans
• 48% of people say social media has a huge influence on vacation bookings• 52% of Facebook users alone said friends’ photos or posts inspired vacation choice
and travel plans

The marketplaceLots of places to learn about cruises
![Page 12: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Cruiser communityVirtually no place to follow cruisers
• Enthusiastic cruisers have no way to share their stories broadly and with non-cruisers
• No incentive for non-cruisers to hear about cruises from those who cruise
![Page 13: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
This is the way the world looks at “cruisers”
![Page 14: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Vacationers are looking for information from people they trust
• People are talking: passionate cruisers are talking about cruising in venues that aren’t attracting non-cruisers
• Let’s get cruisers and non-cruisers connected
• A people-led movement will be more successful than a commercial campaign
The bottom line
![Page 15: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Connecting our audiences
![Page 16: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

In today’s “me” culture, consumers want to:
• Feel significant• Be a part of something
bigger than themselves• Feel something• Be included• Understand
![Page 18: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Technology has turbo-powered how consumers interact• Are always connected
• Can communicate in an instant
• Interact with people globally
• Have conversations/dialogues with brands
• Expect needs to be met immediately
![Page 19: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Putting it all togetherLeverage everything we know about
• “Me” culture• Connected society• Cultural movements
Create the ultimate “selfie”
• Integrated communications ecosystem where cruisers can share their passion
• A movement made up of – and for – cruisers, would-be cruisers and even non-cruisers
![Page 20: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Let’s launch a movement
![Page 21: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Movements are powerful• Susan Komen• Slow Food• Earth Day• Safe Kids• Take me Fishing
![Page 22: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Elements of successful movements
• People believe passionately in something• Given a forum/platform/outlet to channel and
"liberate" their passion• Accessible to anyone and owned by the people• Passion is shared and amplified and reaches a
wider circle of followers• Amazing narrative storytelling popularizes the
issue; stories are personal (non-commercial)• Self-sustaining through shared "cultural"
connections
![Page 23: Love to Cruise Prospectus](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022103016/554cfd80b4c905a5138b536b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
More than a communications campaign

Cruise Line LinksThe cruiser Spirit section promotes
a lifestyle that’s embodied by the
spirit of cruising, as defined by
cruisers. Though not always
directly relating to cruising (e.g.
movies wouldn’t be restricted to
the small number of films literally
featuring cruises, but would
instead appeal to the sensibilities
of freedom, fun, relaxation and
adventure that are associated with
cruising). Each section will
energetically illustrate a dimension
of the cruiser spirit.

Norovirus not a Concern for Cruisers
“Despite the media coverage, the fact is that norovirus
just isn’t on cruisers’ radar screens,” said Rick
Wilbins, President & CEO of Love To Cruise, a non-
profit dedicated to educating the public about cruising
life “From our surveys, cruisers tell us is they believe
the chances of getting sick are greater on land than at
sea. Again and again, what we hear from them is that
the benefits of cruising – from adventure to personal
relaxation – are far more compelling. Is it any
wonder cruisers are smiling in their photos?”
