Can you volunteer for a Royal Caribbean test cruise?

Editorial Summary

Matt from Royal Caribbean Blog discusses recent news regarding Royal Caribbean's plan to conduct simulated sailings to test new health and safety protocols. These test cruises are intended to demonstrate to the CDC that the cruise line can mitigate risks on board ships. While the term volunteer has been used, the creator clarifies that there is currently no way for the general public to sign up for these voyages. According to Royal Caribbean, these test sailings are primarily limited to current employees and members of operational teams. Despite the lack of a public sign up process, the creator notes a massive amount of interest from cruise fans on social media and message boards. The video also touches on the strong demand for future cruises, noting that Royal Caribbean executives have observed significant pent up demand from travelers looking to make up for lost vacations. The creator concludes by asking viewers if they would hypothetically be interested in acting as guinea pigs for these protocols if the opportunity ever became available to the public.
