In the past, anyone who did not show up for the muster drill had to participate at a future time. I’m asking if that policy has been eliminated and now until everyone shows up it’s not over. I have cruised many times but not recently. I have participated in outdoor and indoor muster drills. The indoor drills that I have attended required that you report to your assigned station and then crew members and a large screen video showed how to wear the life vest.

I agree. But there have always been people who don’t show. In the past, they would get a letter stating they MYST show for the “make-up” muster at another time or could be thrown off ship or perhaps their card would be frozen. Now I have heard that the muster does not begin until everyone is accounted for at the first muster. I never miss muster but would be annoyed to have to sit there for an extended length of time due to the inconsideration of other passengers.

Yes. That’s how I remember NCL treating no-shows at muster. But I read that now they don’t start until every passenger has been accounted for at the first muster.

I heard that the muster drill does not begin until every person has been carded in. This could mean if someone is taking a nap, you would have to stay there until that person shows up? Anyone else hear this?
