RSVP Vacations, Paradise
RSVP ran a series of three 30 second spots on Bravo when it ran (and re-ran) the Ellen DeGenres Story.
The ads did not use models, but are shots of gay and lesbian guests enjoying RSVP Vacations. According to RSVP's director of marketing Paul Figlmiller, "This lends an intimacy and realness to the affection which is unusual."
Voiceover reads: "Its the perfect place. The entire resort, the entire ship is ours. New faces. New friends. Tropical breezes. Complete relaxation. Paradise. RSVP Vacations -- it's about your journey on this planet."
This commercial is more playful than the other two, yet still is romantic.
