Samanthac25 Posted December 22, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I loved watching the crew drills this morning on the lifeboats onboard NA in Nassau today!! It was very interesting to see the boats go into the water and back up again, plus it makes me feel extra safe knowing we are in good hands with this incredible crew. We are having an amazing time so far and we are only one day in! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted December 22, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I think laws require life boat drill once a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutumomickey Posted December 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Does this mean the azipod is repaired? Any propulsion issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOLAS requires a safety drill every seven days but that doesn't mean it's an 'abandon ship' drill every week where some of the boats are "splashed"/put in the water. One week it's a fire drill, the next week it's a fire drill that evolves into an abandon ship drill. It could be a MOB (Man Overboard) drill, a damage control drill, etc. Drilling never stops on a cruise ship 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted December 22, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 22, 2019 We have watched the lifeboats being put into the water for drill purposes quite a few times over the years. Always interesting. Thanks for the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ski ww Posted December 24, 2019 #13 Share Posted December 24, 2019 First cruise I was on New Years 79-80 all life boats where lowered to the promenade deck & we had to wear life jackets to the safety drill. How times have changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
