Muster Drill for Disabled Passenger in Disabled Cruise Travel Posted March 12, 2005 We learned to simply stay put in a lounge or on deck. They know wheelchairs need the elevator so we have never been bothered. If its your 1st or 2nd trip some one in the group should attend. But after that there is no need. Read the notice in your cabin and learn your drill station. If your nervous speak to the pursers desk and ask what the wheelchair procedures are; however I recomend you do this later in the evening or the next day when things have calmed down. The only person to my knowledge lost on a ship while in a wheelchair was poor Mr Klinghoffer who was murdered by terrorists on the Achilli Lauro almost 25 years ago. The ocean disasters Titanic; Lusitania had no wheelchair deaths because 50 years ago no ship was accessable. The industry has a remarkable safety record.
