When you think of taking a cruise. You think Celebrity or Carnival, What about Princess cruise line. Ever heard of them, I have been on all three of them, and would take Princess any day over the other bigger names. Better service, better entertainment, less crowding,
Branding offline is very different than branding online. When you have 5 cruise ships to choose from, peoples selection isn't always based off a brand. But either random choice or through brand loyalty (which is word of mouth). I have never heard of Princess or Celebrity, only Carnival - does that mean they branded me or better? Nope.

But now that you told me that Princess is better, I will probably check it out, if I ever go on a cruise. Did the Princess brand have anything to do with it? Nope, but your loyalty to the brand did.
