Seeing that almost makes me glad I didn't start cruising earlier!

And it should bring back some precious memories for lots of folks! :D

LOL...I hope to make people laugh when they look back on there life boat drills

Yes.....those drills were not fun with trying to get those lifejackets on a wiggling toddler for just a few moments.

thanks for the memories -

 

the smell, the jostling from everyone having to take a step backward, being hot and sweaty, not being allowed to bring along anything to drink, being grossed out by kids who would play with the whistles (how many other mouths had done the same thing on previous cruises), standing for 15 minutes with kids crying because they want to sit down, adults already drunk - stepping on kids who did sit down, crying kids, etc, etc. etc.

Love it!

 

After our first cruise with the kids, our Christmas card was of the 3 of them (12,11,9) in lifejackets during the muster drill.

How about this muster drill(life boat drill) from the Carnival Celebration. August 1997.

 

Notice the folks in the pool, and on the upper deck.

 

This was way before Carnival required (made) everyone participate. I know some in our group just stayed in a bar.

 

Disclaimer: I did not take this picture, at least I don't think I did. Probably somebody else in our group did.

That is my story and YES, I am sticking to it;

I remember our first muster drill. It was 7 years ago. I was drunk and my wife was crying.

The last cruise I went on in 2006 we did the whole life jacket thing. We are cruising in April on the Conquest......What/how do they do it now? I heard it was all different :)

[nobody000]

No life jackets have to be brought with...you can leave them in the room.:D

[cruzenagain]

Ahhhhh, The feeling that you needed a shower after having that up around your neck. LOL

The life jackets always felt like they were choking me. I'm glad we dont have to bring them. Going back to the cabin to get them was a hassle too.
