vplsh Posted July 26, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just wondering if anyone has received confirmation that they are on the August 1 simulation cruise on Indy out of Galveston. We responded to the request for volunteers two weeks ago with our info but haven’t heard whether we’d been chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlevin Posted July 26, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I heard there were nine positive crew members on Independence; could that be reason for delay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dford123 Posted July 26, 2021 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2021 4 crew members not 9 . The infected all are asymptomatic. It is not clear whether they were vaccinated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcc1025 Posted July 28, 2021 #10 Share Posted July 28, 2021 She is at the dock in Galveston so looking good. We are on the 8/15 cruise so hope this all goes well. From the amount of communication we are now getting from Royal it looks like they expect it to be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So excited!!! If there is any way possible, I would love to see a live report on your cruise. My very first Royal cruise will be on the Independence in November, so I would love to hear your thoughts on her current condition, changes, etc. Thanks.

cruisegirl1 Posted July 29, 2021 #20 Share Posted July 29, 2021 We received an invitation but can’t make the trip. Seems those on Allure had a great time so I suspect those on independence will have a great time as well. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
