I thought the cdc was not allowing employees to act as volunteers because of the employment tie.  It's kinda hard to be a volunteer when you are volunteering for whomever writes your paycheck. 

 

 

All the "pick me" people are a pain but I think the cdc will have the final ruling on that decision. 

Royals first prerequisite was reading comprehension, so all these people failed

They are not looking for volunteers,  article says one of their ships has confirmed a volunteer passage with covid 19.

I would definitely volunteer to see how the cruises go. I bartend and I feel you just need to live your life and not be afraid to go outside, socialize or have fun. I am way to much of a social person to not be with others. 
thank you

Done!

Thanks Matt!

I'm interested to volunteer is two people.that wants to volunteer 

[MuttMutt]

Yeah, looks like I was correct and not long after they made an announcement either a lawyer or the CDC themselves made contact and said it doesn't work that way.

 

I am also guessing they will probably prioritize Crown and Anchor members over general public.  Why do I say this, well if you have been on a cruise with them you know some of how things work and are less likely to do things that will cause issues.

I’m going to wait until there is a vaccine before cruising again. Just my personal preference. But once the vaccine is available and I’m my family is administered the vaccine, I will look forward to cruising again very much.

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

I see you are a Moderator here.  Can you put in a good word on my behalf?  

In before the lock...

[cruisellama]

Filled out the survey.   As I never get picked for anything, not expecting it this time.

[Barbra]

Why yes ofcourse I would. I have total trust n faith RCCL. 

[Anna P.]

I would be very pleased to volunteer!  As a Florida resident, I could comfortably access any participating FL port.  Look forward to any opportunity to help! 
 

 

[Wendy kramer]

Yes. How do I sign up 

[SandyW]

Yes, but only if they did not require me to be tracked and traced everywhere I went on the ship.  If they did not require any mask mandates.  If they did not require a virus test (which is proven to be false - positive).  If they did not require a vaccine.

Kind of like pre-mid-March 2020 when we were allowed to roam free on the ship with just our sea pass card, no mask, no testing, no vaccine.

The good ole' days.

You from Florida? Based on everything I know about Florida and how they've treated the pandemic, this screams Floridian, with a 1% chance of South Dakota. Hope you didn't send this from a smart phone

Yes from Florida.  I guess it depends on the news feed that you watch and where you get the information on how the cases are, etc.  And no, not sending from stupid cell phone.  LOL

[cruisellama]

Anyone clued in on whether test cruises will be conducted only on the RCL line or will all the partner lines like Celebrity, Azamar, and SilverSeas have their own test cruises?

[Debramiles]

Yes, I would volunteer. And thank you

No. But to each their own.. I would have to miss work for at least 14 days, so it will not happen soon.

Waiting for the CDC to allow these test cruises while other portions of the tourism/travel industry progresses like.....

[gabeb848]

!00%, as long as everyone has a mask, I'm all for it!

[Reigert2008]

I went back and forth on this a while back and am now at the point where I would certainly consider going on a test cruise for the following reasons:

1. We've learned a lot about COVID
2. Royal has been sailing overseas without any major issues
3. I have both of my vaccine doses
4. I need to get out of the house

we were comfortable cruising even during the early days, because we know how we cruise and we felt that with masks, social distancing, and sanitation measures, that we could do it safely without issue.  Our bigger issue was getting to the port and spending the night, but we think that is now able to be done fairly easily.  

The concern that many people may still have is that you can be a "carrier" of COVID and we certainly do not want to bring it back to our loved ones, so as as more people get access to the vaccine that will help as well.

 

Thanks and stay safe!

I would love to be part of it!!
