We are on a delayed embarkation schedule due to a USCG inspection.... the ship has just returned from Europe. Boarding is supposed to begin at 1pm with those of priority and for uppermost decks, then deck 8 at 1:30, etc until main deck at 3pm. I am expecting a departure later than the scheduled 5pm. Our informal M&G is planned for aft right after muster drill, so the roll call might be there for sailaway. I forgot to bring my flag, and shame on me on Veterans Day! Remembering all the veterans today including my WW2 dad, my navy career son, my Iraq war army son and my 2X Iraq deployed marines godson. Blessing to all those serving at peace and in harms way.

Krazy Kruizers Posted November 11, 2018 #30 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I mentioned some time ago that I felt that once Edge and others started to dock at 25, that HAL would be having later departure times and the view of HAL ships would be blocked.

We were in the upper dining room on K'dam. I guess it will be the same on the NS. Much more comfortable, but then we had to have a wander and locate our lifeboat.

Rare VMax1700 Posted November 11, 2018 #39 Share Posted November 11, 2018 We were in Pinnacle Grill twice and MDR once for our 3 cruises on K'dam. It certainly is more civilized than standing out on the Promenade Deck in all weathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Anne, we have a new puppy. He's on 'trial' - LOL. Master Marley seems to be getting along with him quite well so far. We lost Fox - she had a heart attack at 3:30 in the morning and died with me. There was no time for a vet call. She was gone in two minutes. Marley has been desolate as he is the only dog and not only missed her, but now had no company. 😞 So my vet had two of these puppies and told me how great their temperament was. So Miko is here now with Marley. Miko is on the left in the bottom pic. Marley is on the right. Miko will grow to be big enough to play with him.

Rare Vict0riann Posted November 11, 2018 #43 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Marley looks as if he's saying "What have you done to me now, Mum?!" Sorry to hear about Fox. But she was lucky to have had a good life with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted November 11, 2018 #45 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Do you get actual lifeboat assignments on the Kdam. As chengkp75 always says the muster drill is about accountability, not evacuation, and in an emergency the crew would lead people to the appropriate lifeboats, which should be very close. Strangely, on the Grandeur we muster under the lifeboats but there are 16 lifeboats and only 10 muster stations so it may not be a truly one to one relationship.

Rare Vict0riann Posted November 11, 2018 #47 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I think there was a sign in our room telling us which lifeboat - but I imagine you're right, Roy, and if the ship is tilting, you'd just go for the closest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really Ann; you go to where you're directed by the officers on boat deck; if not you're gonna have a lot of fine folks trying to get in one, the closest, boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
