Muster drill

[takeavacation]

Ok - for some reason - my head just isn't keeping up today. I've been on MANY sailings (not just with RCL) -- but, I can't remember -- is the Muster drill before sailaway --- or after???? We leave for Disneyworld in a week and the Liberty on 10/4 -- and I'm trying to arrange for everyone to get together for a sailaway drink. Thanks for helping to put my head back on straight!!!:rolleyes:

Muster drill on the Liberty is before sailing.

Thank you -- that is what I thought I remembered (I was on the Liberty a year ago and the Mariner in Feb ---ugh....where is my memory going!!!)

 

Thanks for the very quick response!

 

Ok -- now does someone know what time the Muster drill is at? I know we sailaway at 4:30pm. Thanks!!

My experience is that Muster drill is about 30 min prior to sailing. Enjoy your cruise! :D

Generally true, but Regulations [Coast Guard? International?] require that the Muster drill be held within 24 hours of sailing. Several times because of delays in embarkation I have actually had Muster drills the morning AFTER sailing - glad the ship didn't sink the first night:eek:. Actually I'm glad it didn't sink ANY of the nights:D.

Just imagine the chaos of the first timers if the ship was sinking without a musterdrill! :D

 

I am glad your ship didn't sink too!

RCI always has muster BEFORE the ship leaves port.

I thought the ships that left San Juan late had their drill the next morning. It's fine as long as it is done within 24 hours.

No, they usually hold it between Main and 2nd seating the first night on the San Juan sailings.

Interesting, even when the ship leaves at 8:30?
