esdoorn Posted July 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2015 If you look right now at the Port of Nassau port cam: http://portnassauwebcam.com/ You will see the Valor has some lifeboats deployed in the water. Would they just be checking them to ensure they work? Have seen this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Dutch Girl Posted July 5, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2015 They are probably conducting life boat drills and crew training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky2 Posted July 5, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Yep, really cool when you get a chance to watch. We were able to witness this one time when in port (can't remember where), when we got back on the ship very early. We were outside in lounge chairs on deck 3. Interesting experience.

WpgCruise Posted July 5, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Crew Drill where they got the lifeboats out and ready to be lowered Crew Drill where they lowered the lifeboats and ran them around for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted July 5, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Crew drills are required weekly. Boats must be in the water at least once a month. Edited July 5, 2015 by chengkp75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthomp Posted July 6, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yep, really cool when you get a chance to watch. I agree! We watched the drill in St Thomas while we were waiting out an early morning rain before heading out to the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappy22 Posted July 6, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 6, 2015 ...not to everyone! I've only seen it once in my life. I would assume they do it in port after most passengers have departed the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLCruiseGal Posted July 6, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Saw them reeling one in once when a passenger was unaccounted for. Got woken at 7AM on the Glory stating they cannot find a passenger. It had a good ending, she was found. Thought it was very cool to watch the lifeboat pull up to the ship and how they brought it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
