Muster Drill - on 3 day cruises

[RedLightVegas]

Is it true they no longer do these on the 3 day cruises??

I've heard this from a couple people, but they could be lying. LoL

They were either messing with you or misinformed.

 

Safety briefings are done on all cruises, even 2 day CTN.

 

Safety Briefing - Muster Station Drill

 

Carnival Cruise Lines will implement a new Safety Briefing, formerly referred to as the “Boat Drill”. The new Safety Briefing will be rolled out throughout the fleet by the end of 2009.

 

According to SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), Chapter III, Regulations 19.2.2. and 19.2.3, whenever new passengers embark, a passenger Safety Briefing shall be given immediately before sailing or immediately after sailing. Passengers shall be instructed in the use of the lifejackets and the action to take in an emergency.

 

Therefore, when the signal for the Safety Briefing blares out, guests will no longer be required to go to their stateroom to collect their lifejackets. They will proceed directly to their assigned muster station from their location at that time.

 

The letter of the muster station to which the guest is assigned (according to stateroom number) is printed on the left bottom corner of the Guest’s Sail & Sign card. The guest will need to have the Sail & Sign card in hand during the Safety Briefing.

 

During the Safety Briefing, the Evacuation Personnel will be visible to all guests and demonstrate how to wear a lifejacket.

 

This new procedure will improve the guest’s experience and prevent unnecessary accidents due to hanging strings from the lifejackets as well as heat exhaustion at the muster stations during summer-type weather.

I'm quite sure they are required on all sailings. They can't be sure that the ship won't sink because it is only a three day cruise...

Just back from our 3 day cruise and Yes we had to Muster ;)

They are definitely REQUIRED within the 1st 24 hours of sailing...usually done before the ship leaves port!
