The more I thought about it, I would think (hope?) that the ship would do the normal process where they order the disembarkation based on one's return-home travel arrangements, and that we could be assigned to a group that would get off no later than 10am (to allow for airport travel time, checking bags, security lines, etc.).

Are you a pinnacle? If so I would say that just like with all the other cruises they call different times based on if you have the shuttle from the ship to the airport and all that kind of stuff or you can have Xpress walk off like I like to do and not count on anybody to destroy your luggage.

Not to dampen the spirit, but I would like to know if I was invited.... Distinct possibility. However it's 2 nights / 3 days of my life. Royal needs test subjects to participate. I'll gladly play the unvaxxed/fake positive/false positive/isolated/whatever... if it means another ship can restart. Put me in coach... I'm ready to play... a zombie if needed. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey just finished her test cruise and I know of several people from the volunteer group that went on it. I'm glad that Royal was loyal to their Pinnacle members to include them in an offer! I can't imagine how much money it is costing Royal to do these test cruises. It seems unfair to me, but it is what it is. Vera/Lee, if you don't mind sharing, for your acquaintances that participated in the Odyssey test cruise, did they mention if activities like the iFly (skydiving simulator) and the North Star (ball on an arm 🙂) were available to be utilized by the volunteers on the test cruise?

Sorry, the ifly and the North Star were not mentioned in the blogs I follow or in the pictures that I saw posted. (Chris Wong is a Casino Host on the ship and someone shared his latest video today on Cruise Critic/Royal Caribbean main board. He talked briefly about the test cruise and even shared a couple of interesting photos.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quantumleap Posted July 23, 2021 #90 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I do wonder though, the Ovation simulation was called a "5-Night Cruise to Ketchikan", but the schedule above doesn't seem to show a port stop...so don't know if there be a port day in Ketchikan or not?
