jdemps Posted April 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2017 How has the muster drill been lately on the Miracle? Curious because the last one on Imagination (DEC 1) started about 20 minutes late and then lasted about 45 minutes. Sitting in the theater for a long time with no info, told to be quiet but no one was and then herded out to the life boats and the crew/announcers just seemed very disorganized. Do the muster drills always start late these days or was this a fluke? They didn't even start making announcements to head to your muster station until the time listed on the fun times. I thought it was off and hoping the Miracle is more organized. Thanks for your feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinpsychRN Posted April 27, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Magic's I was in the theater. Place was packed. Took about 20 minutes. They started announcing it at 3pm and it was about 3:45 before it started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDidly Posted April 27, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Out of six last year and two this year they all took longer than in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted April 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The muster drill on the Miracle is outside at your muster station. You don't go to a theater first. There will be an announcement of when you need to go there and staff will be around the ship to direct you. We go slowly so that we are not in the first groups to arrive as standing outdoors with lines of people surrounding me is not fun. We prefer to be in the last one or 2 lines . The crew will wait until everyone is outside and then they will give the info about what to do in an emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would certainly make it less painful. We always head there before the start time that is listed on fun times, I guess that is our mistake - being on time....lolol We are supposed to do sail away at 4:30pm on July 8th so I sure hope they get their act together to have this all done in time so the newbies in our group can see sail away.

hapytobehr Posted April 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2017 They will announce when muster will begin. First they will call the crew and then guests will be told when to report. I wouldn't worry what is says in the FunTimes. Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunfla Posted April 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I like showing up early to muster drills. It ensures I get a wall to lean on waiting on the draggers. I heard they now will scan your S&S card to ensure everyone attends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they now will scan your S&S card to ensure everyone attends. I'm with you! On the Conquest class we have stood outside by the lifeboats forever and I need that wall to hold me up. Yes, on our cruise in January they scanned the cards. Those who didn't bother showing up held us up even longer as they announced the names over and over. Lots of people at the wrong muster station and the no shows really can mess things up for everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missileer Posted April 30, 2017 #9 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Muster on Miracle. We were there in Feb. and it was probably 30 minutes. It took a while to get started as people were slow to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMAE Posted April 30, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 30, 2017 We thought the muster drill on our Pride cruise which sailed on 4/2/17 was longer. I believe the reason is they are scanning the S&S card to track attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
