muster drill

[brnsnbrws]

wondering if anyone knows if muster drill is held inside or out on deck by lifeboats on the freedom

[KPfromCT]

Not sure about the freedom but on the Pride it was held outside and when we cruised on the breeze in April it was held inside the main theater. I think All ships do probably both inside and outside it just depends what cabin and what station you have.

We were outside last November.

We were outside in May. Be one of the last ones to arrive or you'll get stuck in the back, and it's hot back there.

We just did the Glory(outside, all on deck 4) July 4, 2013 and it was outside-agree-show up later, so you are in the front row-hot in back. Also, on Glory, not all lifeboats-our was a life raft-did not look as sturdy. Thank goodness we did not need one.

All the Carnival cruises we've been on have been held outside. Here's a hint. We met in one of the theaters and sat close to the door to exit. We were in the first line to go outside. It was easy to go our way without dodging people when the drill ended.

On the Fantasy, Elation and Triumph they were held inside and then moved outside on deck.

On the Freedom, you are outside on deck 4:)

We were outside on the freedom. We've had indoor drills twice, but usually on smaller ships.

That's what we did on the Inspiration. We all met in the Rock N Roll Dance Club on the Promenade deck. There they went over the safety procedures, how to put on life vest, and issued wristbands to all the kids. Then we lined up in 2 lines and they walked us to our actual boat loading location on the Lido deck.

 

There we had to wait a really long time for them to get everyone there and announce that this was where we would board our lifeboat. Then they excused us.

On Inspiration and Imagination there are only a few muster stations on the Lido deck (mostly for cabins in the aft section). I've been in the theater or casino lounge. Mid-ship Empress deck.

ON my last few carnival cruises its been inside in the dining room areas, this was as recent as last month (Feb 2014).

Unless it's recently changed HAL dies muster drills outside.

 

Seems that the Fantasy class ships start in a lounge then migrate to the lifeboat stations. The other ships are at the lifeboat stations.

On DCL, most muster stations are outside. A few are inside in one of the Main Dining Rooms and in the Theatre.

general guidelines are:

Dream class = indoors, theater, dining room or lounge.

Conquest class = outdoors, deck 4

Fantasy class = inside then out

[ccruisequeen]

On the Miracle, also the station's are outside on the Promenade deck, except for the disabled who are inside.

How long does the drill take?

Our last time on the Magic was in the theater. I think it just depends on you muster station. What pisses me off is being stuck in there while they go over the same material in a half dozen languages and you miss the sail away. I know I am exaggerating a bit here but sail away is major fun time for me. Lucky for us, the last time the boat left about an hour and a half late but I have been on other cruises when sail away has already happened after the muster drill... Poo....:mad:
