Royal Caribbean’s “Allure of Love” Short Film

Carrie Finley-Bajak — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 19:23:30 +0000

Q: What happens when you combine the magic of Hollywood and the World’s Largest Cruise Ship?

A: You get a short film onboard a beautiful ship.

Plot line:

Jenny McCarthy’s film “The Allure of Love” – which marks the actress’s first time both in front of and behind the camera – tells the story of two friends, Jessie (Courtney Henggeler) and Patrick (Charles Malik Whitfield) hatching the perfect plan to get a pair of star-crossed exes back together, Annie (McCarthy) and Bradley (Scott Elrod). But things go awry when technology gets in the way and the couple engages in a game of online picture posting one-upsmanship. It’s an unexpected comedic journey about rekindling romance on the high seas.

Royal Caribbean hosts first ever Twitter party

Royal Caribbean International has some fun planned around the launch of their new film series titled ”Ocean Views.”

There are two films so far in the “Ocean Views” short film series: “The Allure of Love” and “Royal Reunion.” Both films will debut on Sunday, March 13 during an exclusive premiere event onboard Allure of the Seas in her home port of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

For those not sailing on Allure of the Seas, you may view the short films at www.RoyalCaribbean.com at 4p.m. on Sun., March 13.2011.

Twitter Party – March 13th, 5:00 – 6:00 PM EST

Immediately following the premiere, Jenny McCarthy (@jennymccarthy) will host a Twitter party from 5p.m. – 6p.m. with Justin Baldoni (@justinbaldoni), Amy Yasbeck (@amyyasbeck4real) and Scott Elrod (@scott_elrod) to discuss the films and their experiences onboard Allure of the Seas. Media and consumers alike can join the party by following #OceanViews on Twitter and follow host @RoyalCaribbean.

What is “Ocean Views”

The short films making up “Ocean Views” highlight a variety of cruising experiences available on a Royal Caribbean cruise vacation.

Royal Caribbean hopes to reach a larger audience by introducing cruising to consumers that might not have considered a cruise vacation.

The first two short films, The Allure of Love” and “Royal Reunion,” center around romance and multi-generational family travel. The film series is available on Royal Caribbean’s website and YouTube channel.

Ocean Views is created and produced by Mindshare Entertainment in association with GenerateLA.
