Carnival Cruise Lines navigates transition period on sponsored links
January 12, 2010 By 1 Comment
It’s almost two weeks into Carnival Cruise Lines’ 2010 policy barring travel agency partners from bidding on the line’s several dozen trademarks, but travel agencies such as Travelocity, Cruise.com and cruisesonly.com, among others, still have sponsored links, triggered by keyword searches of Carnival trademarks, in major search engines.
Either some of these agencies aren’t playing nice-nice with Carnival or something else is going on.
For its part, a spokeswoman for Carnival Cruise Lines says: “The new rules are in effect and we are in a transition period right now and are actively working with our agency partners to implement the policy change.”
Carnival Cruise Lines still considering social-media policy changes
January 8, 2010 By 5 Comments
More than three weeks after dropping a controversial social media policy for 2010 and stating that it likely would move “very quickly” on drafting changes, Carnival Cruise Lines still has not published a social media policy for 2010.
A CCL spokeswoman says “it’s still being looked at right now with no specific timeline.”
The initial 2010 policy, which was Carnival’s first attempt at addressing social media, kicked off a storm of criticism because it would have prohibited the cruise line’s travel agency partners from using any CCL trademarks on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn or any blog.
