oh, it played on Regal Thanksgiving week. Pretty annoying for the kid who couldn't wait for it to be over.

Sounds like it taught the kid some much needed patience!

you may have forgotten what it's like to be a kid. :)

I think it’s fine. It’s a little annoying when you have more than one TV, but you can just let it run in the background while you do other things.

Given the stupidity of some people and the sue-happy world we live in, I'm not surprised. It's not that big a deal to let it run while you get settled.

To those who think that this is annoying, and that they don’t need to pay attention to the security video because they’ve seen or heard it so many times, I give you exhibit A:

 

If you don’t know what’s wrong with this photo, you’re EXACTLY the reason why Princess wants you to watch the video.

A number of people here seem to think it's incredibly "funny" to constantly refer to the Steward as "Stewart"..... I really wish they would stop. It's neither funny nor clever.

16 years frequenting Cruise Critic and I still smile a bit when I see Stewart and Mustard. I must be one of those people who is easily entertained. 😀

I’d love to to see them installed in cabins or tenders, just to get a good laugh at the look of confusion from some passengers. 🤣

People here thought it was "funny" and have perpetuated it by repeating it over and over and over... It ends up confusing people who honestly believe what they read here. I really wish they would stop. It's neither funny nor clever.

 

Agree. As a general rule, as soon as I see "Stewart" or "mustard drill" in a post or someone call their ship "Princess NameOfShip" (rather than "NameOfShip Princess"), I just move on to the next post. My thinking is anyone who does that either lacks good observational skills (particularly when they get the ship's name wrong) or can't be bothered to proofread so who know if what they wrote was what they meant. Either way as I know there are already factual errors in their post, why should I believe anything else they say. 

 

To keep this on topic, the only thing that really bothers me about the safety video was forgetting on my last cruise on Regal Princess to turn it on and get it over with while we did other things. It wasn't until we wanted to watch something that I remembered at which point we were stuck waiting for it to play.

The Scottish surname 'Stewart' -- meaning 'household guardian' has shared origins with the word 'Steward'.  It derives from the Old English word "stigweard," a compound of "stig," or "household," and "weard," or "guardian."

The two are in fact variations of each other.

It's a great multi-tasking activity. It is playing in the background when we first get into the cabin and continues playing like white noise in the background as we get acquainted with Stewart and the cabin, read our various papers and head out to lunch.

Hardly even notice it.

Oh, you had Stewart too! Isn't he wonderful? I wonder where he is from.

I always thought mustard drill took place at the grill on the lido deck.

Same burger as  before, but this is now an ernesto burger!

Yea but they've made it extra thick & added additional items so they can now charge you to eat lunch. 

Have one for lunch & you'll probably skip dinner.

It's a win-win for Princess.
