I wonder what they will do for us old guys who dont have an IPhone?

[Love being Mimi]

I'm on vacay and my phone goes off.  Maybe it will be on the tv?

[hurricane0226]

Tv would be good

When you get on the ship you are to go to your Muster station and check in ,then go to your cabin and watch the video. Carnival says it will know who watched the video.

Well, who had their television tuned to the safety video anyway.  Gonna' be kind of difficult keeping passengers from unpacking, hanging up clothes, arranging their cabin, etc. etc. while the muster video plays in the background.

sure you can use an android. I don't have an iphone

if its on the hub app- yeah

In addition to other proposals mentioned above

it might not be a bad idea to also permit access

to the (normally-closed) Lifeboat Deck (4 for Conquest class ships)

- for that first day -open right up to sailing time?

 

so that a few interested ppl (more than you'd think)

might wander there to observe,

and to interact with trained crew on station, along the length of the deck.

 

Unlike the folks here enjoying a conventional muster drill..

[Aplmac]

You'll notice that those lifeboat decks are painted

the exact blue hue of deep ocean water -

 

that's to prepare you psychologically

for your immediate future On Da Ocean Wave, baby!

 

I hope I never have to do it, fer real.

This is wonderful!  Hopefully this will remain for years to come.

So I watched John Heald's video about the e-muster, and to my understanding your muster station will be listed in the Hub App, on your S&S card and on your boarding pass. He also mentioned that once you get to your muster station, just let one of the staff members know that you are there and they will check you off. Pre-covid, they would just scan your S&S card and that was how they knew your cabin attended. I already have the Hubb app downloaded, but for those that don't want to download it or don't even have a smart phone I wonder if it is even necessary for them to have the app? I would assumed scanning your S&S card or your boarding pass should be sufficient.

Free market research on who has smart phones. They might try their facial recognition software at the muster stations.

Ah, yes Smart Phones, changing the way we poop since 2010!

My bet is on the staff at the muster station will scan in the S&S card; just like they do when you go ashore at a port, then board the ship when you come back.

For anyone who doesn’t, it’s time to get one.

For safety alone having a smartphone in retirement is important. Saved my mom's friend's life when she fell in her home.

Except you won't necessarily have your S&S card yet, as JH mentioned.  In fact, he suggests going there as soon as you get on the ship, before the rooms are open, and before you get your card.  He mentioned "checking" you off.  I think a boarding pass and an ID would do.

They possibly can know it was shown on your tv, but how can they possibly know that you actually watched it?

Don't laugh but ..I finally caved in and spent $350

on a new Samsung A-31 smart phone

that thinks it's smarter than I am, and it might be right.

I reckon these things

are almost essential to modern travel abroad.

 

I got adventurous and installed the Carnival Hub app -

so I am ready! ...I think.
