Product placement
Carnival Cruise (a) ACTS: The video demonstrates the experience of being on a Carnival cruise ship, specifically mentioning the drink package and casino, which are services operated by the cruise line. Removing the brand name would change the video from a specific recommendation of a Carnival cruise to a generic cruise video. Carnival Vista (a) ACTS: This is the specific ship being operated/experienced. Removing it would change the video from a specific ship review to a generic cruise video.
