Carnival Conquest Muster Stations

[escentialssoycandles]

I am sailing with a group of 50 for our wedding on the Conquest. I have extreme claustrophobia and abhor muster drills. Can someone tell me where Station C is?

your muster station will be clearly written on your cabin's door?

Is there a pill for that?

Most of the muster stations on the Conquest class ships are outside under the lifeboats.  At least Carnival scans S&S cards (finally!) to prove attendance and the drill seems to go faster most times these days.

We just did an MSC Seaside sailing and our station was in the casino and over in 20 minutes even with announcements in 5 or 6 languages.

Don't know the exact location of C, but every Conquest class ship we've been on, the muster station was out on deck.  You don't get to opt out of the muster drill, so just try to be on the front row.  A friend is claustrophobic & he gets pretty antsy by the end of the drill if we end up in the back or middle - same thing in the elevators.

Thought I would share my experience. 2 years ago on the Conquest, I was suffering from severe sciatic nerve pain that prevented me from standing for more than a few minutes. I read on the boards to contact Guest services for help.  Guest services told me to to to GS once on the ship to arrange for another place to muster. GS on the ship told me to stay in my room. This was a bad option, imo because I had to tell about 6 people who came to check the room why I was still in there. They also called my stateroom out on the pa. I felt I was holding up the drill. I really felt like there should have been a place on the ship set aside for accommodation.  A year later, I was on the Legend and they let us sit in a lounge around the corner from the exit to the lifeboats. I've had back surgery now and no longer have that problem. However, I do hate being packed in like sardines behind that yellow line while you wait for the drill to begin (and end). I think the best option would be to try and show up as late as you can so you are at the front of the group.

I also have severe, ridiculous claustrophobia.  So when I need to, I take a Valium or similar medication.  My doctor writes a script for 20 pills a year, so it's not very often.  I would never be able to get on a plane otherwise.  I will take half of one for the muster drill, and also have them handy for if the room triggers me.  Good luck!

you can tell the crew that you need a seat and he/she will direct you into the dining room
