Flounder8 Posted March 24, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I am doing a southern caribbean itinerary on AOS on 3/28. It says the boat does not leave until 8:30pm, but am wondering when the muster drill is and how close it may be to our 6pm dinner time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the same cruise on last feb 28 (so wonderful !) and muster drill was before the 6.00 pm dinner time. The ship left at 8.00 pm, about 30 min. before than scheduled, the second dinining was postoponed to 9.00 pm. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask.

NordicPrince Posted March 25, 2010 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2010 IIRC, the last time we were on her, it was at 6:00PM and dinner times were moved back 1/2 hour. I am not questioning your statement. Just want to know based on experience from other sailings out of San Juan how they can have a muster at 6 PM if the ship is scheduled to sail at 8:30. Don't the passengers have until 90 minutes before sailing to get on? Seems that with a 6 PM muster some people may not be ready. Is it possible you came from another time zone and did not adjust your watch to Atlantic time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadie8 Posted March 25, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 25, 2010 For people not on board the ship in time for muster, they hold a second one at a later time just for them. I think the main seating for dinner was at 6:45PM on the first night. Sailaway at 8:30 and second seating 9:00PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible you came from another time zone and did not adjust your watch to Atlantic time? We live in the eastern time zone and the cruise I was talking about was during the summer so there was no time difference. The time we sailed her during the winter was Super Bowl Sunday, so they held the muster drill the next morning so as to not interrupt the viewing. Here's a compass from the 7/28/09 sailing, it is the same as I remembered it. Muster drill at 6:00, dinner times pushed back 1/2 hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
