GTO-Girl Posted September 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Cruising for the first time with the grandchildren - 17 month old twins. Will be on the Glory. Is Muster Drill any different with babies with us? Don't think it is...... Seems I remember seeing people pass by carrying babies to Muster.

firemanbobswife Posted September 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Not that I've seen. Been next to parents with little ones on the Glory a couple times. It might be best to be one of the last ones there so they aren't squished against the wall. Just don't be late :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
092306 Posted September 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) In our experience, yes. Four cruises with our son under 3 we had muster in one of the lounges or the dining room. Specifically, on the Glory we were in a dining room for it. Carnival crew immediately sent us over to one of those locations each time, which in my opinion, was a way better process for muster. We had muster like that before kids on RCI, don't know why Carnival continues to have people line up in smothering rows outdoors. If you have the twins in a stroller, I don't see how you could line up out there anyway. Edited September 21, 2014 by 092306 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted September 21, 2014 #5 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Having infants or young children should not make any difference in a safety drill(IMO) . IF something went wrong and you had to immediately go to your muster area, meeting in the auditorium would not be an option!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowskier Posted September 21, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Every one met in a designated indoor area for muster on my last Carnival cruise a couple months ago. Prior to that, I was escorted to an area designated for people with disabilities and there were several parents with kids in strollers. I didn't know this area existed, but when the staff saw my hip to ankle brace (knee surgery the day before the cruise) they offered this alternative. It was not an auditorium and I am smart enough to have located my true muster station in case it was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to our muster location, knew exactly where it was, and then was directed to go to a lounge/dining room. Absolutely no issues with knowing where to go in the event of an emergency.

TPFKAH Posted September 21, 2014 #9 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yes it's different. All the kids get wrist bands that contain their muster information. You will be receiving special instructions on how you are reunited with your children should an emergency arise. Pay tench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffatsea Posted September 21, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 21, 2014 092036, That sounds like the perfect combination of knowing where to go for an emergency + more comfort for you and your little one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
