Equinox muster drill "spy" film?

[39august]

When we were on Equinox in Sept. they did NOT show this silly film. Please tell me Equinox has continued this practice.  We will be back on her in May.

No video in December, they just had a crew member speak and demo.

Let’s hope this is for the whole fleet.

In October/November we had the film on the Eclipse.

Shown on EDEN in Nov. It was stupid and not very educational or effective.  The handwashing one  they had previously with the pre -school jingle was equally lame but shorter as far as I recall

Our muster on Edge was the Theater and they did show the Stupid spy film.

Doesn't anyone at Celebrity read the survey comments that this film makes a farce of a serious topic?! DH and I have mentioned it multiple times. Heaven forbid that there is an actual emergency situation. New cruisers will have no clue!

Just off the Equinox yesterday.  Happy to report no spy film.  That film was the worst punishment ever.

Obviously you were never forced to watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians in your youth.😱

Meant EDGE!

Thanks for the EQ replies. Hope this holds up thru' our May cruise. I couldn't agree more that in a real emergency, new cruisers would have no clue what to do from watching that farce!

No film on our September Summit cruise. 

[CulverCityCruisers]

Had to deal with that useless movie on Equinox in Aug on a b2b, then on Eclipse twice in Oct and Nov, and just 3 weeks ago on Reflection.  For new cruisers, it is a total waste of time as you really don’t get any knowledge from it.  Just get back to the old way, at least people could understand what to do!!

Silly film still on Solstice Jan 14-25 . A long drawn out and incomfortable crowded Michaels club where most couldnt see the screen anyway and then delays as crew members seemed unsure of what to do next . Hardly appropriate for a muster drill .

[Phxazzcruisers]

Shown on Solstice January 4th and 14th cruise.

I never found it to be bothersome...kind of a unique way to present it.  Better than a lot of the production shows.

[Georgia_Peaches]

Shown on Silhouette back in November.  Maybe it's being phased out on ships as they are refurbished?

[boscobeans]

Dumbest thing we ever saw.

Oh come on everybody, the stupid spy movie is not that bad or stupid!

I liked the ending !  

[Mike981]

Stupid or not, it is really an exercise in futility in many cases. Last month on Reflection we were crammed into Michael's club and only a few could actually see the movie. Then those who can't see or even hear the movie get excited/anxious to start their trip so they start chatting, making matters worse.

Everyone seems to remember it!   Maybe that was the idea?

We liked the whole thing. It was unique, informative and entertaining, despite all the criticism. Like it or not, people remembered it. 😉 I agree that in many venues a big  problem was many guests not being able to view it.

Yep that makes it a success, might be stupid but the points are in there.  I find it fun way to start the cruise,  the main points stick in peoples mind and many are discussing the silliness afterwards i notice.  Yes if you been on many celebrity cruises it is monotonous overall but it is remembered by the way its presented.
