Approximately what time would the Muster Drill be with an 11:00 pm sailing time - ??

[spuds]

Hello,

 

On the Riviera in August (departing 11:00 pm from Barcelona) and I am just trying to plan our embarkation day. Just wondering if anyone might know approximately what time the muster drill would be - ??

 

Thanks!

Our muster on the June cruise leaving Monte Carlo at that time was around 5:30 pm.

Whenever we've had a late departure the drill has still been held around 5 or 5:30. Once restaurants are open (6:30) it's difficult to hold the drill later.

Agree it was still 5:15 to 5:30pm

if you are still ashore they will have a make-up drill for you & others that missed it

usually next morning

Perfect! Thanks for the information, this is very helpful.

When you check in, you will be told what time the drill will be held. Often it is just before sailing. Most of the time, it is about one hour before dinner. On one cruise, we had the drill during dinner. Everyone left the dining room, did the drill, and returned to eat. It was awful.

Wow

 

That would be awkward since the muster stations for some are in the GDR

What about people that left food on the table would the people at the drill be touching it while you were away ...:eek:

 

Glad we never had that happen

 

food is already just warm when you get it

 

 

Most of the time the drill is between 5 - 5:30 pm

the dining venues do not open until 6:30 pm

What cruise line was that on so that I can avoid them :D

Does this timing hold true for a cruise that sails the following day? e.g. We board in Reykjavik on Wednesday but do not sail until Thursday afternoon?

Then the muster will be on Thursday before you sail

probably 5:15pm ...just guessing though

Thanks. That is what I'm hoping for. We have a private excursion on Wednesday so may not board the ship before dinner time.

Even if the drill were on the first day (very unlikely) and you were to miss it, you would have a "make up" drill later.
