CruizIan Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 So as someone who never wins anything when it comes to drawings or raffles I received this email from Royal today while I was out and about. Super excited to see where they are going to assign me and trying to figure out logistics of making it onboard! I would love to hear if anyone else has received anything or even further details. I know one of the test cruises is on Wednesday. JohnK6404, jticarruthers, PRebecca and 14 others 14 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it looks like I will receive other information in another email. Not sure. I would hope that since you provide your address that they try and align you to something that is close. The only one that would be pricey or stressful to do would be out of NJ. I am located on the Gulf Coast near Pensacola so Galveston or Port Canaveral are no biggie.

smokeybandit Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I would imagine they would slot people geographically just to ensure the people they pick actually show up CruizIan and Neesa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianB Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 So far it sounds like people were selected around the same time and the emails were sent out. I’m hoping that was just a first round and that there are more selections coming up…I mean besides the inevitable re-selects due to those who can’t make it. Finger are still crossed…just getting a little numb WAAAYTOOO, jticarruthers and Melody of the Seas 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I got the email saying that it was time to submit to see if I get picked but the dates and locations didn't work with my calendar. I can't wait to see pictures and info from those that are picked and able to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevendom57 Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Congratulations. I presume that these test cruises are free? Do you earn C&A points for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna G Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I would not expect C&A points, but it would be a nice surprise if they did give them. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that you receive any C&A points but the Cruise is free for you and a guest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianB Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 I’m still wondering if a test cruiser can sail solo. I know it’s an offer for double occupancy, the chosen volunteer and a guest…but what if I don’t have anyone available to go with me on the dates listed. Or…….what if the second guest has to suddenly cancel and just doesn’t show up at the port on embarkation day. Such as when a better price option for a solo is to book for two and then cancel one at the pier. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more squire!
