Allure Lifeboat Drill

[Shermcruiser]

On which deck is the lifeboat drill on the Allure?

[liberiben]

5?? whatever the jogging track is on. We could not use it during our workout in Nassau for about 1 hr.

It really depends on your cabin number. We were in the Theater.

We were in MDR

You don't go out and stand under you lifeboat?

The last Royal we were on that's where we were.

I think the OP was talking about the muster drill, not the crew doing their lifeboat drill.

I guess not on Allure. We were on the Promenade for the drill :D

[Shermcruiser]

Yes, the muster drill.

Muster is held in many of the lounges and public areas on the ship. If you were to have to go to the lifeboats you would access them from deck 5. As far as I know everyone mustered in a lounge, theater, dining room or public area. And... no PFD's in the staterooms. In the case of need, you would be issued one.

Oasis class ships utilize decks 4, 5, and 6 for muster station drill locations.

Just to be clear: PFD means Personal Floation Device. Are you saying that each stateroom doesn't have lifejackets (PFD's) in them?

Your muster station will be printed on your Sea Pass card as well as on the back of your stateroom door. You will know soon enough, and as stated, it is different for everyone since there are so many passengers.

yes, because RCI's reasoning with the USCG when they pioneered no life jacket muster drills was that in an actual emergency, they would not want you going back to your cabin to get one. If you listen to the spiel during your drill they say "in the unlikely event that this had been an actual emergency, proceed directly to your muster station, a life jacket will be issued to you there..." so since they have enough life jackets on board, they can issue one to everybody at their muster station. So no need to keep one in your stateroom.

No, the staterooms on the Allure do not contain PFD's. They instruct you in the event of an emergency, these will be available on deck. The size of the ship makes it difficult to "run" to a stateroom to grab a PFD. That was the rationale I've been given.

We too were in the MDR

 

Sitting at dinner tables.

 

I hope the changed the silverware and plates before dinner because I saw people "playing" with the dinner ware:eek:

And add to that that there are PFD's stored at all the venues in case things are really bad. Captain Tore was asked a few weeks ago how almost 400 persons will cram into a lifeboat and he stated: "very carefully".

Yep, pretty gross, hey? I can't understand why RCI does this. :(

Sorry... hubby was 27 years in the Coast Guard... so no life jackets in this house (LOL).. only PDFs... and if you look around the ship you'll see many lockers noting PDFs... we mustered in the comedy club and there are PDFs in the club! Next time you are on board see if you can find the locker!
