I just got a vacation survey

[firefly333]

I went ahead and took it. Cant hurt. It asked me which kind of vacation I might take or plan to take and then questions about covid. If I had to pay for the test out of pocket would i still take that cruise. If the test was 75 would i still be willing? Have you booked. When is it booked?  Do you feel we are past the worst of covid. If a vaccine came out approved by fda would you take it, how long after it comes out would you take the vaccine. Lots more like these. Figured it cant hurt to make my wishes known...... let's get on with life.

I thought it was interesting they asked if I'd be willing to get a test 0 to 5 days before my vacation, i selected cruise, ...the same amount of days rcl is proposing.

Thanks for sharing!  This is interesting

Interesting....I also received a vacation survey from Qualtrics, but the questions were not the same???  It was more general and dealt more with being in a group environment, but also asked about my willingness to receive a vaccine, once available.

You think rcl or who gave out our emails?

[pstone1]

I deleted it too as junk but retrieved it and took it.  Kind of creepy that there are so many versions.  Mine is similar to Firefly’s but the questions were not all exactly the same.

[pstone1]

FYI - It also asked my political affiliation.  😱

[firefly333]

Mine didnt have any questions about masks or social settings. Mine were more financial and how much I'd pay for a test if required to travel. What did I expect to pay, I said 50, etc.

I hadn't thought of RCL, because all of my questions were general questions, and nothing specific to cruising, except for one.

[pstone1]

Mine had both types of questions.  Lots about what I’d be willing to do to take different types of travel and whether I’d be willing to take and pay for Covid testing.  Wanted to know if I had insurance, what they would pay, and if a $25 credit would make a difference if the test was $75.  Seriously!  There were a lot of question about our travel preferences, who we travel with, whether we work, and what our income is.  Nosy!  🤣

I got it too but deleted it. Pulling it out of the trash to take a look.

You all must be the "chosen."

[patattack]

I got it as well.  Very similar to Firefly.  It went to my spam as well.

I got it as well and moved it to trash. I just pulled it back out and did the survey. Seems like mine was pretty much identical to @firefly333

[dswallow]

The jist of the survey I received was related to willingness to pay for a COVID-19 test as a requirement to travel, once you got past the starting set of questions to establish the types of travel you regularly engage in and what you have already booked for 2021.

I got it, seemed to be about willingness to take covid test

[LeeW]

We don't do surveys or polls, so just deleted the one I got.  Never heard of the source before either, and that is always a red flag on someone trying to gather data.

Qualtrics is a major survey and customer satisfaction company

I got and deleted it. I agree that they are just trying to see how much extra we will pay.

[Smiles1984]

I'm curious, what happened to make so many in this thread change their mind and take this survey if they had previously deleted it?

[molly361]

On the subject of paying for the test I was told by one place a travel test would be $179 pp.  I would guess insurance would pay for one test but if a frequent cruiser is your insurance going to pay for multiple tests per year??
