Muster Station E04 on Allure - Proceedures?

[Nashna]

We are sailing on The Allure in two weeks.  DH has a really bad knee.  We have been assigned to Muster Station E04 .  We are in Cabin 12254.  Does anyone know where E04 is located?  Are we able to go to the station early to take advantage of the elevator rather than take the stairs?  On our recent HAL cruise, we had to wait in our room for the drill to begin and then wait for the elevators to take us down to the station.  I would like to avoid that big crowd by going earlier, is this allowed?

E04 is on the Promenade in front of guest services.  You can certainly go early and you should be able to grab a seat in the cafe promenade

Thank you.  That is great to know.  On HAL we went 15 minutes early and they made us go back to our rooms to wait for the signal.  There were so many people with walkers and scooters that it took forever to get the elevators.

Go to café promenade 30 min early and enjoy a snack or a beverage.

That sounds like a great plan.

Just the opposite on Royal.  If you wait until the signal, you will be late and hundreds of people will glare at you for holding up the drill.  😉

 

Definitely go early and get a seat.

Royal's position is much saner.  When we arrived early to our HAL muster station,  we were chatting with several folks in wheelchairs until an officer came along and said we would not be counted as participating in the drill unless we went back to our rooms and waited for the signal and then returned to the muster station.
