Elation Muster drill ???

[Joie]

Where do they do the muster drill on the Elation? Is it in the lounges or theather or do you have to put on life jackets and go to muster area?

They have designated muster stations all over, which you must go to according to your cabin. No, you don't have to bring your jacket any more.

Lifejackets are no longer required on Carnival.

So this is a mixed response:

We just got off the Elation yesterday so the muster process is like this:

Go to your assigned Muster location, ours was in the main theater. They do a count and hand out the wrist bands for the children. After a few messages and a demonstration for putting on the life jacket you wait for the cruise director to direct your muster location to the lifeboat embarkation area where you line up similar to the way you do on the Conquest class ships. After a few more announcements they release you.

 

A few notes:

1. Sailaway could happen while you are at your lifeboat station, it happened to us on this sailing.

2. Because the second half of the muster drill is handled similarly to how it is on the Conquest class ships, make sure you sit toward the front of the theater so you are not packed against the wall. To do this make sure you get to the lounge you are assigned to early to get a seat near the front.

3. The muster on the Elation was more relaxed than the ones on the Conquest and Dream, they seemed to not really enforce the "no drinking" thing except at the lifeboat embarkation station.

On this class ship, we met in a lounge, got instructions, and then were escorted to our lifeboat station.

thank you for te replies. I sure hope we don't miss sail away....it is part of the fun....lol

Have sailed from N.O. twice before and the part where the ship turns around is quite the thing to see.......beside the party attitude. No balcony this trip and that is usually where we do sail away....so have to be up on deck.

Lifeboat stations A,B,C, D and E meet in the lounges on Deck 9. At some point you go up to Deck 10 to finish.

 

Lifeboat station F meets on the a Lido deck (10) in front of the grill area. This station stays here.

 

No life jackets are necessary.

Last week on Elation we had to go to a lounge and listen to their safety briefing and then we were led up on deck to complete the lifeboat drill. It was pretty long. No life jackets during the drill.
