You have been selected as one of our Volunteers of the Seas participants! We’re extremely excited to be welcoming you onboard! We appreciate all the faith and optimism you have shared with us throughout the last year and your desire to assist when we asked for help to prepare our ships for our return to service! As we get closer to your sailing, you’ll receive your formal invitation that you need to fill out with all of your details for you and your guest. You’ll also need to complete a form required by the CDC. Be on the lookout for an email from our special events email address - RCGSpecialEvents@rccl.com. Make sure not to miss out on it! We look forward to welcoming you onboard soon! Sincerely, Volunteers of the Seas Team Royal Caribbean International congrats!! Also - as people chime in on the thread with their acceptance letters, could they each also state their C&A status? I’m curious if they are still working through the pinnacle list first, thanks!

I'm in NC and don't really want to fly so I'm looking at a serious drive for any of the three. If I get picked I hope they let me select Galveston. NOT flying anywhere at this point for any of my next 4 booked cruises. Galveston is a day-trip for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as if some upper echelon think everything should automatically go to them first! Yes, we were chosen, and yes we are pinnacle but we don’t consider our selves hoi polloi. We are just simple retired people that now enjoy cruising. Someday I hope you become pinnacle, but till then I hope you also will get an email today or tomorrow for a free cruise. 👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare HBCcruiser Posted August 7, 2021 #183 Share Posted August 7, 2021 No email. I’m not high on RCI status though. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted August 7, 2021 #184 Share Posted August 7, 2021 No email either 😥 not a Pinn. Cruising for me with all the added requirements, testing and protocols has lost its luster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericfromri Posted August 7, 2021 #185 Share Posted August 7, 2021 1 hour ago, garywatson said: 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. I take 10 to 15 cruises a year. next year I have 24 booked for a total of 270 nights. I spent $1000 flying out to Seattle to take the ovation test cruise last week and I would do it again just to be part of cruise lines returning to sailing safe. They need us to practice their protocols and then see how people respond this is very important and I am happy to help. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasukkie Posted August 7, 2021 #187 Share Posted August 7, 2021 It's really interesting they don't tell you which sailing you've received an invitation to. I could only do Oasis as I'm going to be on Ovation until 9/17 so no way to test before the Galveston cruise the next day. And I can't clear my schedule for the 2 day in Florida. Hopefully these will be going out in batches, not giving up yet! Congrats to all who received it so far. I'm Diamond by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, hardly. It's being run by a third party so that people can lose the conspiracy theories, but yet they still are here. Many will win, they are giving away 1125..

Already resigned to it. And so sad. Gold with Royal.. Had a Carnival cruise booked for Sept 7 that they cancelled almost 3 weeks ago. It's our 25th anniversary on Sept 1. Had initially planned to go to Hawaii but we cancelled that amidst the peak of covid. Well, we do have the Odyssey of the Seas booked for Feb....so at least there is that.

bilyclub Posted August 7, 2021 #193 Share Posted August 7, 2021 The wife got the original volunteer email the other day. Got the Mariner email today. D+. The trouble is finding an appointment for the mandatory covid testing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got our invite as well. We’re on same Ovation this Friday. See you at Sail Away, 5:30, North Star Bar. Can’t do Mariner. Oasis would be a quick turnaround but doable.

DaniDanielle Posted August 7, 2021 #195 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We are D+. Hoping for Oasis as we are 15 minutes from Cape Liberty. You know it will probably be Galveston!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeighAnchor Posted August 7, 2021 #198 Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) I entered us both and DW got the invitation; we are Diamond Plus members. Looks like there’s a nice mix of C&A tiers. DW got both a text and an email. Edited August 7, 2021 by WeighAnchor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
