summercruisin' Posted December 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Will someone who has sailed her recently tell me how the muster drill is managed? Is it indoors (sitting in a lounge or dining room, for example) or outdoors (lined up on deck)? TIA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figdu Posted December 8, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Sailed on her in September. We were lined up outside the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted December 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Sailed on her in September. We were lined up outside the whole time. That is true. They do have a separate muster area for those with mobility issues. Last year when we sailed on her it was held in the Library Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LzyCruiser_NWA Posted December 8, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2017 They lined us up outside in october and unfortunately we were in the section where it was very enclosed and HOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summercruisin' Posted December 8, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Thanks, everyone! That is what I feared :(. I have a kid with high functioning autism, sensory integration disorder, and anxiety. He does great managing nearly everything EXCEPT the old-style muster drills. I'll contact Carnival special needs for the alternate one. Good to know in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apatchetear Posted December 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We were is muster station D. Deck 4 if I remember correctly outside. Wasn’t too bad hot, but it was standing and outside. They did allow people that couldn’t stand or with mobility issues to go into the he Limelight lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz-s Posted December 9, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2017 They had everyone crammed together 4 deep on deck 4 facing the life boats. I have no disabilities but I was very uncomfortable about halfway through the drill. After the drill was finally over I was so over it. I am sure Carnival will be able to accommodate your son. I saw during the drill they offered people with disabilities to sit in the library. On the Ecstasy our preferred room's muster station gets to sit on the Lido deck the entire time of the drill - even during the lifeboat portion, we're able to just look up to deck 11 rather than have to go up there and stand around.

Rin0813 Posted December 9, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 9, 2017 We were on the Sunshine at the end of October and we were seated in the Liquid Lounge for the muster drill. No one in our group had any mobility issues. Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carscomefirst Posted December 10, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 10, 2017 We were on the Sunshine at the end of October and we were seated in the Liquid Lounge for the muster drill. No one in our group had any mobility issues. Sent from my SM-G955U using Forums mobile app Just off from Dec 1st-9th cruise. Muster station was 4E and we were also in the Liquid Lounge. Was very COMFY, just like watching a show. Our state room number was 11024. My SIL and BIL were in state room 8321 and had muster on deck 4, I believe muster station 4d, said it was packed.

sopo1953 Posted December 10, 2017 #10 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Got off the ship yesterday and the drill was held outside on Deck 4. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emcelh Posted December 10, 2017 #11 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I believe location depends on where the muster station for your cabin is. We were outside on the Sunshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
