In the NTSB report on the Ecstasy fire back in 1998, they took roll by doing a head count at the muster station. They also do a cabin check to make sure everyone is out of their rooms. Nothing I've seen on my seven Carnival cruises indicates they've changed. -- I'm Tom Smith, and I approved this message. |

What is the implication of not particiating with a muster drill?
"Reef Fish" wrote in message oups.com... I was on a HAL cruise on a Halloween week in 2004. I don't recall the mandatory drill or roll call by cabin number. Perhaps Halloween was an exception, huh? In Halloween costume, the crew couldn't possibly tell who's there and who isn't. :-) As for missing a drill...the captain and cruise line are accountable (in the USA) to the Coast Guard for compliance. And there are likely liability issues involved. That's a good point. Perhaps the country of registry of the ships and their locations in internationnal waters have much to do with their accountability to the USA coast guards. -- Bob. I was on rccl just before xmas and was standing on my balcony in my life jacket waiting to hear the muster call in my room. I was watching a Coast Guard cutter sitting off the port side watching the muster. I guess he was watching me as well as I was him. The room steward came and got us and we were checked off a list when we finally showed at muster. Some people didn't look too happy that we were late. Had I been able to hear the call I would have been there on time. GaryZ |

Not to mention the every-five-minute announcements leading up to the start of the drill. Lee GaryZ |

You don't need to wait for the announcement to go to your station. Brenda |

What is the implication of not particiating with a muster drill?
While Maritime law dictates compliance of this law, the managing of the
process is something the Cruise Line is held accountable for. They have records that are regularly checked, and if out of compliance (100% participation in muster drills), they will be fined by the US Coastguard. As someone else mentioned earlier, Disney Cruise Lines is by far the most compliant - they will not set sail until 100% of the passengers have reached their muster stations. A close second would be RCCL, Celebrity, and Carnival. While the results of the muster compliance are not in public domain, the reality is that more than 98% of passengers take this seriously. For those that do not hear, or those that blatantly skip the muster station, I truly hope you do not find yourself in an emergency situation holding up passengers by asking questions on where you need to go. Not only am I an avid traveler, I too am in this industry sending thousands of happy clients on cruises each year - I will never encourage any of them to skip a muster station. In fact, I tell them it may be the best 20 minutes of of their time. I hope none of you find yourself need to use the knowledge you learn while going through the drill, but for those of you that don't find this very important, I hope you can read the instructions behind your door and that you can compose yourself if ever faced with an emergency aboard a ship. Happy Sailing to all! Chris www.clcruises.com LeeNY wrote: GARY Z wrote: "Reef Fish" wrote in message oups.com...

Neither my son nor I heard anything from within our room. I didn't hear it on the balcony either. I don't really know what I was listening for as it was our first cruise. A loud horn perhaps. We heard no announcements the entire cruise from within our room. If we happened to be in the hallways at the time an announcement came over, we could hear it. Nothing inside of our room though. Seriously. GaryZ |

@fed1read06: Funny thing about crew quarters; they don't have those instructions posted on the doors! But then crew is expected to be a part ofthe muster drill and if not the passenger drill then the more extensive crew drill held a separate time usually while pax are ashore. -- Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations http://www.josephcoulter.com/ |
