Muster Drills??

[planb]

Hearing that you no longer have to bring your life jacket with you?? Anyone know about this?

[pnjkeith]

Yep, no jacket.

[SkyMaster]

Yep. That's true. :D

[golfadj]

Leave it in your cabin.

 

However in the event of an emergency people will have problems putting it on so not sure this is such a great idea.

[KroozLov'r]

Yep, no jacket.

 

Hi Fellow Cruisers! :) Just to clarify...your LIFEjacket is not required at the muster drill. However, if you are chilly, of course you may wear a jacket or wrap! :)

[Chris41]

Very true

[mrpayroll]

Feel free to bring it if you want.....BUT you don't NEED it..

[soakedbythesea]

No lifejackets for drill? Good to hear!

[cruiser fanatic]

True

[GaCruisersII]

We just got off the Elation and we did not need our life jackets, but we did have to go stand out by the lifeboat stations.

[cruiser fanatic]

on Ecstasy you did not stand by the lifeboat stations.

Thanks ! Glad we have some of the goofy pictures from past cruises with us in them , but do wonder about 1st time cruisers. Hope they have a in room program that will help those who may have concerns. But it will save time and lots of "don't trip over the straps "

True. Last March we gathered in the main lounge.

So the tip on not getting there first, because you have to wait for everyone in the back to leave first is so true. I bet people were still waiting to get out when we set sail. Thanks CC for this tip!!

Be sure to be the First at your Muster Station. They give prizes to the Earliest Arrivals.

Do they sound the ship's horn during the drill?

[enveno1]

Don't have to bring your life jacket, but on Destiny 10 months ago we still had to go to our muster station by the lifeboats.

[SandyW]

They won't let you bring it...at least they made us take ours back on our last cruise even though we were running a bit behind. I'm not sure it's a good idea either..but the people in front of us this last time were already three sheets to the wind and I doubt anything that was said during the muster drill registered in their brains.

On the Pride this week we had to go to the Muster Station (28 degrees), but we did not have to take our lifejackets. They did sound the alarm and it was a pre-recorded announcement system. Thank goodness there was warmth in numbers!
