I hope so because for me any cruise except Port Canaveral I will be solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spintowin Posted August 7, 2021 #154 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Do you think they will require us to show up with covid test results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayleeman Posted August 7, 2021 #155 Share Posted August 7, 2021 As a member of the lowliest loyalty class, I appreciate Royal doing at least one thing that gives the hoi polloi an equal chance (even if we have to submit more forms). It's as if some upper echelon think everything should automatically go to them first! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The invite that my friend got to Tuesday's Mariner test sailing said tests are required.

It's as if some upper echelon think everything should automatically go to them first! Typical feelings until you are no longer a member of the lowliest loyalty class. This coming from a lower tier member, but someone who is top tier in many other travel loyalty programs. I would expect priority over lower tiers, that is the whole concept of the program. That said, this isn't related to the loyalty program, so I do also like the way they did it. Edited August 7, 2021 by tcrandal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahirsh Posted August 7, 2021 #161 Share Posted August 7, 2021 So, how far are people considering traveling from? I'm in NC and don't really want to fly so I'm looking at a serious drive for any of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seldom log onto FB, so it must have been in reply to a RC email requesting volunteers. Not sure if it was the absolute criteria but we are Pinnacle. Just curious about something - a Pinnacle is a Pinnacle because they can afford to go cruising pretty much when ever they feel like it, no? Why would somebody in that class be interested in an inflexible volunteer cruise where you might be jammed into an inside cabin, quarantined, evacuated, and otherwise abused? Just to save the cruise fare? I'm only an Emerald and getting the cruise for free is not a key motivator in my case. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's possible that the random computer algorithm will assign the best cabins randomly to the highest status cruisers and/or casino victims.
