Bankrupt - Premier Cruise Lines
Vložit
- čas přidán 23. 08. 2018
- Not many industry altering companies go unnoticed these days, but there were a time back in the mid 1980's, where the official cruise line of Walt Disney World was booming. Their family cruise model changed everything and created giant competitors, including Disney. Lets look at the fascinating history of Premier Cruise Lines.

I don't think there's a video of yours I haven't enjoyed! You're one of my favourite channels
I like the new intro
Bright Sun Films Bankrupt- TWA please your the best ever good work on your videos.
Hi, Jake.
This video plus with some educated and high quality collection of your video is simply masterpiece. I wish you come to Indonesia to watch Asian Games 2018 or at least try make a new Abandoned series video like Rumah Kentang or Menara Saidah. Or maybe combination of Abandoned and Cancelled Series like Hambalang Sports Centre.
Thanks again, Jake. I wish for your success !
This dude does incredible well-researched, well-narrated documentaries with quality on par with the History Channel, sat down with the former CEO for an interview, researches several abandoned locations firsthand, and has less than a million subs? Where is the fairness in the world?
Thank you so much!
Bright Sun Films
And still liking comments 1 year after Publishing vids 👍🏻
this is above history channel
Meanwhile this has almost 3 million subscribers,DO NOT DRINK AMONG US POTION AT 3AM!! *OMG I TURNED INTO AMONG US*
@@Milk-ew4pf I don’t know, none of these businesses go bankrupt because of pan dimensional prehistoric Hitler aliens.
The Bankrupt Atari episode is going to emotionally hurt me
Wow- u have quality far beyond the trash news videos
Atari went bankrupt in the 90s. The rights were scooped up by Infogrames, who proceeded to run the name into the ground. They then declared bankruptcy in 2014, sold the name rights again, and the current investors have ruined it even further.
Alex Snitzer I told you it was going to hurt me lol
i was a child in the late 70s had one of the first atari 2600s.
Jake if u see this. Pleaaaaase make the SAAB bankruptcy
Jake, absolutely love this "Bankrupt" series. PLEASE keep it going!
Mykyta Panarin are you related to artemi panarin
Mykyta Panarin isn’t this the abandoned series
@@chucklittle1180 no
First, it's abandoned small shops. Then, entire abandoned malls & warehouses. And now, and entire _boat??_
I can't wait for his series on abandoned spaceships!
🙄
Well, there is this space shuttle in the middle of the desert...
The Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazahkstan, from the USSR.
Mate the boats werent abandoned , after the company went bankrupt they sold the ships to other companies
Buran Space Shuttle that became abandoned.
Not the boat, It's the Cruise Line that went out
This channel is consistently one of the most intellectually stimulating channels on youtube. Period.
Jakman74 I love feeling the innards of my brain being stimulated and fucked hard every episode
I am legit impressed on you actually sitting down with the co founder. Amazing!
Jake, never stop creating content PLEASE! Fantastic video as always!
Having the found and former CEO speak was very cool! Great to her directly from his experience. Hopefully that can happen again during the next episode of bankrupt.
Jake your videos are great. unsolicated advice for you interview episodes: If you are going to be cutting back to you in the interview you should probably also include yourself asking the questions too. It looks more like a conversation that way. also if the person you are interviewing is on a webcam, try and match their camera angle so it looks like you are talking to them, rather than just saying "yeah" into a void. I think it will improve the quality of these episodes greatly. Other than that, fantastic content as always!
I think the cut scenes should be completely eliminated when using obvious webcam footage. These cuts made the video come across as really cheesy in my opinion. I stopped watching at two and half minutes in because I could no long take the video seriously.
Tevor Jones may well be correct and I'm missing out on great videos but my own personal quirks made me leave the channel after seeing these cut back scenes.
I was looking for a comment like this, he has received the same advice before but hasn't learned from it.
haha i think that may have been me making that comment the first time around
Trevor Jones saying what I’ve been thinking. His videos are great but these moments are a bit off for sure
uhu!!!
Thank you for doing this. I actually cruised on the Premier Starship Majestic in 1990 after graduating high school. It did have the Disney characters on board with us. It also stopped at the Abaco islands, a place where cruises no longer go.
I found out last year that she had sank in 2016 and it was heartbreaking.. like some of my memories are now at the bottom of the ocean.
This meant a lot to me and I appreciate the work you put into it.🚢
Nice Pun!
Jason Frost hahahah yes I am
Malik Richards What pun? Do you know what a pun is? Obviously not.
Pfft, it's all about the older women! You'll learn about this later on in life.
EDIT: That came out creepy. No Creepy intended bruh!
I guess I'm old too. I graduated high school in 1989. If someone wants to pick on me for being an older woman, go ahead. I don't care what someone with poor taste thinks. Us "old girls" are like a bottle of wine. We get better with time! Thank you for your input HorrorQueen. That's cool you got to go on one of these.
It’s incredible to see how much you’ve grown, I’ve been around since the bright sun gaming days and am incredibly proud of your success! Keep making awesome videos jake!
Neha Sam gaming days? Got a link?
Rob Plays recently did a video focusing on Disney's end of their relationship--it's interesting to see Premier's side too. Sounds like Premier basically invented the business model that Disney is currently making bank on.
Abandoned Fountsin Bleu resort on the Las Vegas Strip a half finished skyscraper hotel
Forrest Hassell It was bought by Marriott and will be finished by the year 2020 as “The Drew”
I went to the fountain bleu in Miami, very expensive lol
I love the fact that you can get these amazing interviews, they seriously elevate these videos greatly.
Thank you! It was beyond a pleasure speaking with Bruce and his stories were incredible to hear. Such a fascinating, kind man who really is an industry legend.
Gotta love how this major corporation had _two_ ships named The Big Red Boat.
Also, could you do a Bankrupt episode on Arrow Dynamics? I would love to see it.
Why didn’t he mention that? Now only people who analyse every frame *cough* Film theorists *cough* will know.
oh yes I want to see arrow dynamics please
That was their nicknames. The ships all had names that began with Star Ship: Royale, Oceanic, Atlantic, Majestic
In the 1990's, I worked for Dowell-Schlumberger. As a project envoy, I travelled to many locales in the arctic and near arctic. After leaving one sight in Alaska, and travelling to Abu Dhabi, I saw the company ship, at both locations! I soon, discovered that they operated seven ships, named "The Big Orange".
Mr. Meloetta ugh arrow coasterss are rough as hell i have back and neck pain from there damn corkscrew
How does this man still have less than 1 million subscribers?! This is netflix documentary level good, possible even better! Keep making vids man, you've got a real talent.
Better, because they are shorter without all the drama, just entertaining factual interesting unique content!
Another great video my dude! Such a quality series
Could you do a Bankrupt on American Motors Corporation(AMC)?
Good one
Agreed
Nice comment
Yes! I remember my mom drove an AMC Pacer when I was a kid!
I dont think they went bankrupt, they were bought by Chrysler in order to get Jeep and they scrapped the rest. Although they got a large cache of Jeep engineers in the deal that were the cream of the crop.
“Hey Sam wanna do something Friday night?”
“Yea su..... sees Jake notification”
“Sorry boys, maybe next time”
I get it; because this channel is amazing. But I can't help thinking; go outside! Put that phone away and go see your friends.
Same goes for me really
no_one_of_that_name_here it wasnt serious, this vid is 20 mins
I have only taken one cruise so far in my life and it was a Big Red Boat. I still have my BRB cup, and a few other things. It's weird to think I went on the journey a year before Disney Cruise Line started and it was at the end of the Big Red Boat and Premier!
My first cruise was on the ms Rembrandt in 1999 on the Mediterranean sea. Since than a lot of cruises have followed. But I still have good memories of that first cruise. P.S. Not all ships were sold and scrapped after the bankruptcy. The Rembrandt got back its original name MS Rotterdan, and it is now a static in the harbour of Rotterdam where it is a hotel, restaurant, eventship and museum
This video is absolutely incredible. The fact you were able to reach out to a primary source, one of the few men behind the company himself, is truly amazing. Your dedication to your videos is fantastic!
Jake, you're amazing. You are producing television quality documentaries and, as a viewer, I massively appreciate the effort you clearly put in. Honestly, man - keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for producing this! I remember when they first began sending Walt Disney World characters on PCL cruises in 1986. In the early days of that program, Premier treated the characters like VIPs! At first we just went on either a four-day or five-day cruise on a rotating basis, then they started sending us for a week on two cruises in a row, four characters per ship. We got proper passenger rooms, not crew cabins, we got to eat the same meals as the guests for free, we got 50% off drinks, and we only worked about 20 hours in 8 days. It was like a paid vacation! I went on the Royale in 1984 for my high school class trip, then four times between 1986-1989 for Disney on the Royale, Oceanic, Atlantic and Majestic. I saw one of the Bid Red Boats in a scrapyard on a trip to Freeport in 2003 - made me sad.
Damn, so too many cooks ruined the broth.
NICE REFERENCE
Having worked for Disney (film distrbution), I believe the Disney/Premier partnership was doomed to end. Disney likes full control and used the Premier partnership to test the waters of entering the expanding cruising business. That business is very capital intensive (ships) and ships require heavy maintenance--more than hotels or even some theme parks. Once Disney realized they could make money by using their world recognized name, going it alone in the cruise business was a given. However, the Premier partnership, as limited as it was, set Disney up to do their own thing. Also, I went on one of those Premier/Disney cruises, as well as the old Chandris and Dolphin lines. As with many things, only the biggest survive and to survive requires both innovation and expansion.
Yeah, pretty normal with Disney. look at their streaming offering they're doing now and dropping Netflix. They like to control all their distribution channels and marketing, as they feel they can make more money that way.
That what the guy said would have save them basically sell themselves to Disney and have them take over
This is true but as a consumer I won't complain this. DCL's product at sea is as luxurious as what Celebrity offers but with the added family/Disney aspect of it. Premier using older ships just wouldn't be able to deliver what DCL delivers today. I mean one of the last ships they bought was the old Rotterdam and she was already 40 years old at the time Premier acquired her. That's not a ship that could fit modern entertainment needs.
Disney was right to break the relationship once it was clear that Premier wasn't going to build new ships.
Thank you again Jake for a highly interesting but also very sad video. I literally shouted ' YES ' when your notification popped up !
Thank you!

Love the bankrupt videos. Your absolutely great at what you do
Thank you so much, I’m glad you’re enjoying them!
Hey man, thank you so much for this. My dad sailed on the Atlantic on her first voyage under the Premier Cruise Line. I've been obsessed with trying to find out more about this boat because it's like seeing a place my dad has been, and almost being there with him.
I miss him so much and this was so nice to know.
ALSO - we rode on The Big Red Boat (The Oceanic) when I was 11 - and let me tell you... those age group thingies? Pretty rad. They did a great job keeping us busy so we didn't bug our parents. It still - to this date - is the happiest memory I have of my family before my brother died and our family fell apart.
I dunno... this was just.. nice. It was nice and made me happy-cry with all the good memories I had on that trip.
I'm sorry for your losses/loss
Love the Intro Jake. Great job.
Nice. Here is an idea for your next Bankrupt episode. Do the 4Kids TV company (an entertainment company that was popular for English dubbing anime shows, including Pokémon (The first 8 seasons), YuGiOh!, Sonic X, One Piece, etc). It defuncted last year I heard.
Consider that 4Kids has been discussed a lot on CZcams especially, and that it doesn't necessarily have a story/dirty laundry behind how it went down. I'd rather see these resources put into a big company that's rarely been discussed on CZcams.
4kids is trash.
Didn't that become 4K Media Inc.?
You Forgot Kirby Right Back At Ya!
Why did a soap brand own cruise ships? Where's the connection
@IC3FOXX True true
Watch the damn video moron
Water
*_W A T E R_*
*W A T A*
I always found the ad for the Big Red Boat @ 8:57 was really weird. The family on a farm(?) is celebrating the fact that this massive CGI CastleBoat is coming towards them through a magic CGI ocean (that probably appeared literally seconds before), and is about to crash into them, and their farm, thus destroying all they love.
....
Or maybe I'm just thinking too much about this.
Linksbro I agree, something that large coming towards me would scare me to death.
I'd be terrified if I saw something that large coming towards me like that. 😱
Yes, normal CGI back then looks scary today.
Linksbro You’re a Brony, so your of course you thought this.
Beccki Green Not sure how that relates, I mean honestly I was more drawing inspiration from Majora's Mask with the comment I made. Just watching the ad while thinking of the moon crashing scene made me laugh.
Expertly edited and scripted, amazing work Jake!
Fantastic vid. Keep up the good work.
These videos are treasures, thank you.
Don’t even have the words to describe how much I love this channel it literally is my favorite thing of all time
Bankrupt-TWA Please really like to see.
You have TWA in your intro, you MUST do a TWA Bankrupt video! Their story must be told!!
James yesss
My family did the whole, "4 day Disney World/ 3 day cruise to Nassau" in around 1992 ish.....
sailed out of Port Canaveral onboard the Carnival "Carnivale" ship.
Good times!
PENN CENTRAL BANKRUPT EPISODE PLEASE!
Great video by the way
That was a spectacular bankruptcy. Two desperate companies got married and couldn't make the relationship work.
I tell everyone I can about Bright Sun Films and your series. Always fascinating and well structured.
Thank you!
No drama, great facts, good choice of background music, clean narrating. You really have no idea how many times I rewatched your Bankrupt videos, especially the Pan Am and TWA ones...
My family went on a Big Red Boat cruise in the mid-90s. I don't remember the date but Warner characters were on board. I had a great time. My kids had a great time. Wonderful memories of the ship and staff.
Went on an MSC cruise last year. I loved that as well. Mostly European passengers and not too many stupid and ill mannered Americans. BTW, I'm as American as apple pie.
I survived Premiere Cruise Lines and getting screwed out of visiting Treasure Key ("engine problems" they said). Instead we wasted time in Nassau and Blue Lagoon Island.
...but hey! Disney World (circa 1991 back when all those Abandoned and Defunctland episode subjects were actually STILL open) was fricken awesome.
It was usually weather problems that prevented getting to "Treasure Cay". If it was too rough or windy the ship would blow around and run aground because the channel into Treasure Cay was so narrow and shallow.
Dude - Look forward to your educational videos! Thank you!
I went on The Big Red Boat in 1996 when I was in my teens. We took the Oceanic and went to Disney World afterwards. It was a lot of fun, and, even if it wasn't "the fanciest," it was still really fancy to me. It was certainly was quite the experience.
Funnily enough, our Big Red Boat shirts were outdated only two years later. And it was frustrating to see the Disney cruise line open so soon afterwards. We wish we had waited, but we had no idea. Thanks for the great video!
I enjoy reading and watching historical and just more modern history, but usually the only ones on CZcams are low quality and lack actual facts or taking known information and reading word for word from another video. The only good quality ones are one that belong too actual companies that produce it professionally and publish it on tv and youtube. Yours feels like I’m actually watching a good quality history channel, very well done and you certainly have a knack for keeping my attention and your execution of telling a bankrupt companies story. Well done, thank you. You’ve cured my boredom.
love the fact that you are able to meet and interview people who where involved in these companies, Love the series!
Your videos are always a must watch for me. I love them. Thank you for doing all the research and working so hard to make such a great series.
I actually sailed on a Premier Cruise in 1989, did 3 nights in Bahamas and 4 in Disney... was a fun trip! Ship was a bit old but clean. I was very surprised to see this video pop up. Thanks for the memories! :)
I used to work for Premier Cruise lines in the Youth Dept. I was on the SS oceanic. It was great to watch this, brings bags some great memories.
I went on 4 of them!! Oceanic and Majestic :)
Lucky you.
I love the interview in this and how you edited the history documentary around it. Very well done! You keep getting better and better!
I went on the Oceanic with the WB characters as a kid! They had stars on the doors which let us know where we couldn't go in the kids program. It was pretty amazing and we did a scavenger hunt too. I remember eating a pb&j under the sliding pool roof. Great memories!
I am a child of the 80s and Premier Cruise Lines was a lot of fun. My parents and I sailed on the Oceanic in 1985, we had so much fun on that cruise. Thanks for the memories, Jake, keep up the amazing work!
Never clicked out of another CZcams video so fast before 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
same lol
I had nothing to click off of :/ Wasn't watching anything at least this video came up to watch :D
Love the videos where you sit down with company executives. Really adds an extra layer of depth to the videos.
Thank you!
Finally, a new Bankrupt episode... I really love this series and so do Abandoned
We’ve been waiting so long for this. I’m so glad it’s finally here. Also probably the best intro for a show you’ve ever done.
Ah my favorite time of the week! When i get to see one of these videos
I normally find your videos interesting but considering I'm a travel agent who does mostly cruises, this was great
What a excellent video! Brought me back to when I was 12 years old. My first ever cruise was with Premier back in March '89. Huge fan of the "Bankrupt" series.
Can’t even explain how much I love this channel
That intro is awesome! Makes this series feel like a TV episode :)
Another fantastic video from Jake! Keep up the great content, man!
Thank you!
Well done overview of a sad cruise story! Great to get Bruce's input!
Fantastic work brother !!!!!! Love the new intro thank you for telling the whole story on this cruise line you did it a great justice!!!
He sold his share at the right time! I bet he’s still a rich man now.
Makes sense. Why keep investing with someone that does not share your vision.
Thank you for this imformation. It shall not be forgotten. I to like cruise ships. Premier will be remembered for who started family fun cruise lines. Well done Jake, as alway's.👍🕊
Awesome content! I love the behind the scenes grab you are able to put into your content. Really above and beyond.
I watched all these previously. I have started going through them again since they are so interesting and well done!
Its sad to see a trend investors seem to have. Yes, they want to make money, but they often screw themselves over along with the original company when they aren’t willing to invest in not only the companies, but the faces and CEOs that keep the company’s reputation and spirit alive.
10/10 intro. I hope you do stuff like that more
This video was absolutely fantastic. Love this series thank you for making them!
Super excited for more of this series!
Been waiting for this since you made the video on Treasure Cay.
Amazing video; well-structured and thoroughly interesting. I like the personal touch you bring with the guests, really adds value. You got a great format with your different series, keep it up! :)
Thank you!
Please bring this show back!! I love your work!
Thank You Jake! This is the type of documentaries I really like, involving research, reporting, interviews and your commentary! But much more interesting than wandering around some old buildings...
Thank you!
It’s really mindboggling how a channel this outstandning only has 500k subs. If I’d get to decide you would have ten times that. I am seriously hooked, it is very rare that I can watch this many videos of one creator at a time. It truly shows how well put together your content is. I love how you show such a wide variety of footage while’st researching and retelling the history so well. You have definitely deserved a new subscriber and I hope you get millions more. Cheers!
Thank you so much!
I have a idea for you there was a mall called EASTLAND Mall in charlotte NC and it closed could you do a vid on it?
I used to go to Eastland Mall all the time. It truly was a wonderful mall and a highlight of Charlotte North Carolina.
I remember that place!!
Eastland went west.... or should that be south?
i only stumbled on your stuff last few days but i some how saw your first abandonned in the series... u have come A LONG WAY YOUNG MAN
Another great video, it’s impressive that you are able to interview someone who was a part of the company.
I always enjoy your videos. You do awesome work. 👍
Thanks Jody!

Can you talk about the palace of auburn hills in your next abandond episode because now that the detroit pistons are in little cesars arena (sorry if i spelled it wrong) they closed a few years ago and stopped holding events there
You live near it? I think you'd have to include other sports stadiums to have enough content. Old Tiger stadium would be good too.
Thank you Jake. This was an amazing short history of Pan Am. I saw myself in one of the last pictures! We truly were and are a family! Thank you!!
I remember accidentally finding this channel while searching on CZcams. I now love this channel so much and find it so much more interesting than Buzzfeed Unsolved. Keep up the good work!! ❤️
Can you please do a bankrupt video on Detroit. Like how it happened, what led up to it, and what it caused
Simple. A whole major city based on one industry. Packard closed the ginormous plant in 1955 or so. Building was abandoned. Still a huge eyesore. THAT should have been your clue, if you lived there, to SELL and MOVE.
Then, spoiled and way overpaid UAW workers purposely effed up cars and the Japanese were making way better cars that were more reliable and able to not use so much gas. GM closure in Flint, MI in the 1980's was in "Roger and Me," a doc. Filmmaker wanted him accountable for the plant closing in their best year. Basically to take all the money to Mexico where there's fewer problems with workers, I believe it was. See? There ya go :)
"Geez, Bob, what business are you in?" "I'm in the business of coach bussing and soap, Joe."
Seriously, what?
Another lovely, ultra quality video. Can’t get enough of this mate, keep on making them, they’re always wonderful.
Thank you!
One of the best channels on you tube, your work is amazing.
