I am a teacher who sails MSC Yacht Club frequently. Being a teacher in this day and age, we are prepared the best we can for unforeseen emergencies. However, with that being said the person in full charge is our principal, unless it is necessary for police officers to take command..
As I see it with MSC Seascape, the Captain is in charge during any type of emergency that affects all that are on the ship at the time. Did the Captain order that all passagengers can return to their cabins and wait? Did the Captain open up food venues? Captain would have had to given the orders--not the Yacht Club Director, Concierge, butlers, chefs, waiters, etc. Please understand that I am not just speaking about Yacht Club. It starts at the very top for every passenger. I am just concerned about the welfare of all. Thank you.
