SG65CB Posted February 24, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Muster is no longer a group event where everyone gathers at their muster station at the same time. Instead, you watch a safety video in the Royal Caribbean app on your phone, then all members of your party go to your muster station. A person will be there who will ask if you watched the video, and will check your names off on a list to verify that you appeared at your muster station in person. Then you are free to go. You can do this any time after you board and before the ship departs. It is unknown if this change is permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume there are still 'guests' who want to play games, act stupid, play dumb, waste time, and not do the simplified muster drill. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. On a recent cruise, there was a very large group for the "make up" muster (which was face-to-face, shoulder-to-shoulder) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted February 25, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 25, 2023 At 10am (for most ports of call)…watch video, listen to ship horn. Immediately after boarding go straight to muster station and check in. Next Get blind drunk on Beverage Package. Problems solved -no makeup muster.

Put a hold on your drinks or any other charge until its complete, don't allow them to enter their room until complete I know that's all a stretch for Royal IT Seriously though, you don't even have to watch the video, just stop at the station and get your card scanned 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morecruisesplz Posted February 25, 2023 #13 Share Posted February 25, 2023 No, there is no longer an assignment for inside sitting. You complete the video online and go by the station to confirm and have seapass card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingerwoppy Posted February 25, 2023 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2023 When we were on Radiance a couple of weeks ago, the passengers received a compliment from the captain because everyone completed the muster on time. On our 4 cruises last year, there were always stragglers. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subman738 Posted March 21, 2023 #15 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Not sure about the Odyssey but I did a cruise on the Oasis in March 2022 and they did a virtual muster. You had to watch a video on the RCI app and then show up at your muster station pretty much whenever prior to sailing they would take your name to check you in and you would be on your way. I liked that!! Didn't have to interrupt the day to all gather somewhere to be counted. NOTE - the seapass cards didn't work on the cabin doors until you did your muster.

Rare moposh Posted March 21, 2023 #16 Share Posted March 21, 2023 They do call people over the intercom who have not completed muster. Ship can't sail until they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, don't do Oasis Class but hasn't been that way on my Spring or Fall 2022 Cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
