NordicPrince Posted June 1, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 1, 2017 They're making a very serious subject into an almost cartoon. You could have gotten a famous spokeperson to get everyone's attention. I definitely don't approve. Plus if you are of Eastern European heritage you might get offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyCanada Posted June 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Considering the number of people who talk throughout the presentation, doing something a little different may actually grab their attention. That being said, after watching this I hope the actual Muster Drill movie is better than the trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartel11 Posted June 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Saw it on our AL cruise last week. It was terrible. Way too long and really just glossed over important safety information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loungelady55 Posted June 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Seemed a bit over the top on action. May be a bit much for young children. Promoting violence. I "saw" you have to punch, harpoon and shove persons overboard! But hey, I will have a seat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted June 2, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Standing around at drill and watching this would not capture my attention. Air New Zealand has made a big name by using more light hearted safety briefing videos. Some I have seen are very entertaining and attention catching. However, one trip to LAX from Melbourne Rtn, I had Richard Simmons 4 times. Oh my! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hapster85 Posted June 2, 2017 #8 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Looks pretty cheesy. I think I'd rather watch Wash Your Hands on repeat. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillme Posted June 2, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 2, 2017 We had this on our recent Oasis cruise and thought it was awful! Trivialised a very serious thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted June 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2017 We had this on our recent Oasis cruise and thought it was awful! Trivialised a very serious thing. I actually agree with this. I got almost nothing out of the video. It was very muffled and hard to understand onboard and while it was catchy, it was completely informative. You get caught up in the action and don't catch any of the instruction. They need to reconsider this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted June 2, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Saw it on our AL cruise last week. It was terrible. Way too long and really just glossed over important safety information. That was my biggest worry. My last muster drill on Oasis had a stupid 2-3 minute cartoon about washing your hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted June 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 2, 2017 That was my biggest worry. My last muster drill on Oasis had a stupid 2-3 minute cartoon about washing your hands. If I remember correctly, we waited until the muster alarm went off to actually go down to the muster station last week and Oasis and were still down there 25-35 minutes.

time4u2go Posted June 2, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Interesting how a video about muster depicts an implied drowning, at least in the short clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANJER3211 Posted June 2, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Absolutely missed the mark here.. horrible video! Not sure what the idea or intention behind it was but clearly does not deliver the intended message or anything near it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted June 2, 2017 #17 Share Posted June 2, 2017 We thought the video was very corny and too long. Muster is important, this video makes it seem like a joke. Thought it was interesting that there specific questions about the video on our post cruise surveys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartel11 Posted June 3, 2017 #18 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It won't be around for much longer then. :D I sure hope so. I actually laughed when I saw the questions on the survey. I thought, you really don't want me answering this and thusly ripped into the safety video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikew0805 Posted June 3, 2017 #19 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Saw it on Majesty. It was ridiculous... not fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMBFlyer Posted June 3, 2017 #20 Share Posted June 3, 2017 From the previews I've seen, I sincerely hope Royal Caribbean realizes this is going to be tremendous failure and goes back to the old video before I cruise on Harmony in 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Pedro Posted June 3, 2017 #21 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Absolutely missed the mark here.. horrible video!

EMBFlyer Posted June 3, 2017 #22 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I watched the entire video on YouTube. Celebrity released it. It was awful and completely marginalized safety. Just stupid. I contacted Royal Caribbean about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenmouse Posted June 4, 2017 #23 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I'm not liking this at all. Some things need to be treated seriously, not as a joke. I'm sure that they have managed to insert the safety info into the video, but how many people are going to pay attention enough to extract that info?

Rare BecciBoo Posted June 4, 2017 #24 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Nah not gettin it. What I suggest is a Concordia survivor talks about how important participating in the drill is and how so many could have been saved had that ship conducted it at the proper time. Real life is pretty convincing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that they have managed to insert the safety info into the video, but how many people are going to pay attention enough to extract that info? Not sure how much attention people are paying anyway, especially on ships where muster stations are in various theaters and lounges. The most important thing to know, is where to report.
