B2B First Time Question

[BMP57]

Sailing on my first B2B on the 15th of February. Do we have to do the Muster Drill again on the second leg?

 

Thanks

We were not required to attend a second muster, but things could and do change. You will receive detailed instructions in your cabin. Just follow what it says.

We never have repeated the muster drill on the second leg of a b2b

Unless you move cabins, and have a different meetin place

We switched cabins and did not have to attend the second drill. It was nice to have time in the pool to myself.

Wow, I guess Princess is different. We've done B2B cruises on Disney and a cruise on HAL that had two embarkation ports, and had to attend all musters held during our time onboard.

Definitely no 2nd muster on Princess B2B's

 

If you switch staterooms, just tell your new steward or any other crew during the drill that you're a "In Transit" B2B

We have done 3 B2Bs and have not needed to do the second muster drill. Nice benefit to just chill while everyone else hustles around to get to the muster station.

They usually announce that all passengers who joined the ship at this port are required to attend the muster drill. Now that the sign-in system is automated using your cruise cards, the system knows who is on a B2B and does not mark them as absent to be contacted for the makeup.

Happily, those doing a B2B on Princess are not required to attend the second Muster Drill ... but they can if they wish. :)

We just returned from a B2B on the Golden.

 

Our "in transit" letter advised that we DID NOT need to attend the drill for the second leg of the sailing.

 

However, we did receive a "naughty note" from the captain for not attending the second drill.

 

I guess they forgot to cross-reference the list.

There is a situation where folks on a B2B are required to attend the second muster drill. That's if the first leg was longer than a certain number of days. I seem to recall it is 30 days, but not sure.

 

Last year we were on the Ocean Princess for 61 days. It was sold as either a 31 and 30 day cruise or as a single 61 day cruise. The mid-point was Cape Town. At the beginning of the second leg, ALL passengers were required to attend the muster drill.

When we were on the Grand around South America in 2013, we were told we did not have to do the muster drill at the beginning of the second or third leg. The legs were 19/13/17 days. I had expected to have to attend for the third leg.

No.
