On Passenger Drills

[TGHRS]

I do find some of the reports of the crew not knowing or being able to operate the lifeboats... if true, that's a major problem. They should be doing practice drills every week or two. Just look at this great video shot aboard Carnival Valor, showing them lowering and driving lifeboats while at anchor:

 

 

 

Just came off of the Carnival Dream on Saturday. Last week three out of four days there were crew safety drills while we were still on the ship. My guess is that we missed the fourth because we were off the ship for an extended period of time. In all cases they were checking crew performance and safety lighting to get to muster stations.

 

I did notice these lights indicated hallways, landings, steps and water tight doors while illuminated.

I agree...People in general, cannot handle these situations without panicking...
