Arnold makes some noise for Carnival Cruise Lines in spots that use Todd Rundgren’s percussive ’80s tune “Bang the Drum All Day” and a voiceover by actor John Krasinski of The Office.

Spots retain the “Fun for all. All for fun” tagline introduced in late 2008 and take a lighthearted look at various activities families can enjoy on Carnival cruises. (Gone is last year’s frenetic commercial pitch character, the Carnival “fun director.”)

One commercial shows a typical balding, middle-aged dad busting some unexpected dance-floor moves and generally having too good of a time in the eyes of his teenage daughter.
