hal2008 Posted January 21, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 21, 2020 How does logistics work with such cruises? (muster station training, welcome and goodbye events) For example, a particular ship doing a circle trip in western med can be sold both as starting and ending in barcelona as well as starting and ending in rome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted January 21, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 21, 2020 IME, muster is held at every port where people are embarking for the people who embark there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted January 21, 2020 #3 Share Posted January 21, 2020 ^This. And welcome and goodbye events are based on whichever port is considered the primary port, so they are out of synch for everybody else. On one such cruise (MSC) we had the goodbye event before the welcome event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markanddonna Posted January 21, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 21, 2020 We could always tell who just embarked the Grand because they didn't know how the high tech elevators worked. The new folks had little impact on the other passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example the M929B round trip had passengers on segments including NYC to Southampton, NYC to Hamburg, Southampton to Hamburg, Hamburg to Southampton, Hamburg to NYC, Hamburg to Quebec, LeHavre to NYC - and likely other combinations. We only had required muster station attendance once, pier side in NYC [Brooklyn Cruise Terminal], and for the first time we left the PFDs [life jackets] in the room. Each embarkation port had its muster drill for new passengers, all at deck 7 muster stations. These were before the 'all aboard' time for in transit passengers, so I do not know how disruptive they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
