Royal Caribbean Inserts Fun Into Cruise Muster Drill With Operation: Little Bear

They're making a very serious subject into an almost cartoon. You could have gotten a famous spokeperson to get everyone's attention. I definitely don't approve. Plus if you are of Eastern European heritage you might get offended.

Considering the number of people who talk throughout the presentation, doing something a little different may actually grab their attention. That being said, after watching this I hope the actual Muster Drill movie is better than the trailer.

Two thumbs up !!!

Saw it on our AL cruise last week. It was terrible. Way too long and really just glossed over important safety information.

[loungelady55]

Seemed a bit over the top on action. May be a bit much for young children. Promoting violence. I "saw" you have to punch, harpoon and shove persons overboard! But hey, I will have a seat!

Standing around at drill and watching this would not capture my attention.

 

Air New Zealand has made a big name by using more light hearted safety briefing videos. Some I have seen are very entertaining and attention catching.

 

However, one trip to LAX from Melbourne Rtn, I had Richard Simmons 4 times. Oh my!

Looks pretty cheesy. I think I'd rather watch Wash Your Hands on repeat. Lol

We had this on our recent Oasis cruise and thought it was awful! Trivialised a very serious thing.

I actually agree with this. I got almost nothing out of the video. It was very muffled and hard to understand onboard and while it was catchy, it was completely informative. You get caught up in the action and don't catch any of the instruction. They need to reconsider this.

That was my biggest worry. My last muster drill on Oasis had a stupid 2-3 minute cartoon about washing your hands.

If I remember correctly, we waited until the muster alarm went off to actually go down to the muster station last week and Oasis and were still down there 25-35 minutes.

At least It wasn't based on Titanic

Interesting how a video about muster depicts an implied drowning, at least in the short clip.

[ANJER3211]

Absolutely missed the mark here.. horrible video! Not sure what the idea or intention behind it was but clearly does not deliver the intended message or anything near it.

[reallyitsmema]

We thought the video was very corny and too long. Muster is important, this video makes it seem like a joke.

 

Thought it was interesting that there specific questions about the video on our post cruise surveys.

[bartel11]

It won't be around for much longer then. :D

 

I sure hope so. I actually laughed when I saw the questions on the survey. I thought, you really don't want me answering this and thusly ripped into the safety video.

[Mikew0805]

Saw it on Majesty. It was ridiculous... not fun!

[EMBFlyer]

From the previews I've seen, I sincerely hope Royal Caribbean realizes this is going to be tremendous failure and goes back to the old video before I cruise on Harmony in 3 weeks.

Agree, What are they smoking in Miami?

[EMBFlyer]

I watched the entire video on YouTube. Celebrity released it. It was awful and completely marginalized safety. Just stupid. I contacted Royal Caribbean about it.

I'm not liking this at all. Some things need to be treated seriously, not as a joke. I'm sure that they have managed to insert the safety info into the video, but how many people are going to pay attention enough to extract that info?

[BecciBoo]

Nah not gettin it.

 

What I suggest is a Concordia survivor talks about how important participating in the drill is and how so many could have been saved had that ship conducted it at the proper time. Real life is pretty convincing!

Not sure how much attention people are paying anyway, especially on ships where muster stations are in various theaters and lounges.

 

The most important thing to know, is where to report.
