leaveitallbehind Posted May 6, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Don't recall seeing this on Anthem in April, but we did our muster check in first thing, (along with confirming SR dining plans and getting internet set up) so it was a little later in the day when we first reached a bar. There were a number of passengers ahead of us during the day in terms of drinks in hand, however. So perhaps they, too, had completed muster or that policy was not in place. Will be on Allure in June and will let you know if it is in effect then. That all being said, I think that is not a bad plan!

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted May 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I think that’s a great idea! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted May 6, 2022 #6 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I have no problem with this. Do the muster then drink to to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incessant reminders to get the muster done on embarkation day are annoying. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted May 6, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Great idea. Allows everyone to attend at least somewhat sober (depending on what they did before boarding) and ensures that people are more likely to do it. It's so easy. I don't understand how it's so difficult for some to comply. Of course, those of us that stood outside in FL humidity wearing a lifejacket waiting for the stragglers probably have a different perspective than new cruisers lol.

Anton Posted May 6, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Now they need to ensure the muster check-in stations are open when boarding starts and not an hour or more later which is often the case. I'm sure the bar management will see that it happens. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrussell Posted May 6, 2022 #12 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Personally I love this idea. Gets the point across and after all priorities, priorities right. Keep the tap turned off until the muster is done. I bet bar staff will jump right in to assist as their tip revenue will be on hold until the muster is done also.

That was the idea I had....make the stragglers do the "old muster" set up. Then see how they "muster up" in a timely manner the next time. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted May 6, 2022 #14 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Or, add a "We had to chase you down for your muster drill" surcharge to every drink consumed before they actually show up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember (sort of) getting soused on WooWoo's prior to muster back in the day. Monarch of the Seas. Good times.
