Our favorite cruise to date was our Alaska cruise on the Radiance.  Hubby had just had a heart attack and stint 27 days prior to our cruise.  Thankfully, we did good and the doctor said that a cruise would be restful and gave us this blessing.  He said no fly for 4 weeks and we missed that by 1 day so the doctor said he could fly.  To make this cruise even more memorable, we were schedule to go with two other couples (one from Grand Rapids and the other from Houston).  Long story short, the husband of the Grand Rapids had a heart attack two weeks after my hubby and he had to have open heart surgery so they had to cancel.  The other couple from Houston, the wife blow her Achilles tendon and had surgery.  But she came with a scooter and did great. 
We did a humpback whale excursion but instead of humpbacks, we saw lots of Orcas. 

No it won't!

All this unnecessary "pick me, pick me" individuals will finally go away !!

Not so fast!!

Sounds like you know the ins  and outs of every bathroom on board. 🤣

Is that a rhetorical question, Clark?

I haven't heard back

At least 350 new accounts just to "volunteer" and most are probably wondering why they haven't heard back from Royal Caribbean about their offer to volunteer.
"I posted my information. Why haven't they contacted me yet? Do they even check the website?"

Aaaaand, even after changing the title of the thread to indicate it's a survey and not an application .....

As a glass half-full kind of guy, I think @Matt may have accidentally provided RCG an invaluable service: a database of individuals who should ABSOLUTELY 100% NOT be involved on a test cruise due to an inability to process information and/or follow directions.  I'd think Dr. Johnson, Dr. Gottlieb and the rest of the Healthy Sail Panel would appreciate dodging this entire magazine worth of bullets.

This thread just gets funnier and funnier.  Best one in a long time.  I too would like to volunteer.  However, I think the best way to trial all of these protocols is to test them under the most severe conditions.
I volunteer to captain which ever ship is chosen.  The largest ship I have been at the helm is a 17.5 ft Norseboat.  I have never tipped it (although I have come vey close).  I honestly say I would be, by far, the worst captain in the fleet.  Still, we need to have the worst conditions at sea to really stress the systems.  I will be bringing along some help:
Chief Medical Officer: Major Frank Burns (all you young people can look it up). Master Lookout:  Mister Magoo Anti-Piracy Watch: Jack Sparrow Navigator: My Mom (I loved her dearly, but she never took the same route home for our trips from Plattsburgh). 😉
CAPTAIN CURT FROM CANADA
 

I'm sorry, but I'm removing  any post that has personal/contact information (as though they are applying).  This has gotten totally out of hand.

Hey @Matt!! Since you started this post, you've had a surge of "newbies" coming out of the closet, in a manner of speaking. They were waiting to pounce on an opporunity.  WOW!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi Matt,
Doesn't mention anything about qualifications. Here are some of mine, do you think these will qualify me?
Bon Vivant, well versed in the English language as well as Pig Latin, able to walk and chew gum at the same time, highly experienced office worker qualified on most of the Xerox Multifunction / All-in-One Laser Printers, non smoker, non drinker before 12:00 noon, I am a professional amateur, always wading into areas that I hardly anything about and I can make sure nothing ever happens. 😎

ROFLMAO at all those who keep creating accounts to "volunteer" even after repeated postings to remind everyone that it's a hypothetical question AND that this isn't where one will go to try to participate.
 

I think this post has brought the most new members ever to this site!😄

Same price that I got a while back when it dropped.  It was $57 and dropped to $43 when I purchased it earlier. I just open Canada opens back up so that we can actually go!

FYI

Wow.....guess I shouldve put a trigger warning on there? 

Just thought it was fascinating and people might be interested to know that its being looked at and talked about....as it relates to flying to cruises.
