Muster Drill

[CJANDH]

Currently on Dawn. Just to confirm that, on this ship at least, Silversea have reverted to the full, in person muster drill. Is this fleet wide or just Dawn?

My least favourite activity on cruises lol

We had the full drill on the Moon last week.

I have read elsewhere that now Covid restrictions have been removed that full muster drills have to be done periodically for the benefit of the crew.

At least you get it out of the way early.  Like eating your vegetables.

Life too short for eating vegetables.

Ah, but if you don't eat them life will get even shorter.

[Daveywavey70]

But who'd want to live longer if you had to eat vegetables every day? Wouldn't be worth the bother.

I didn't say the vegetables couldn't be slathered in cheese and butter.

I think that is confused. Muster drills are required for the passengers. Other emergency drills (always pre-announced, not involving passengers, and apparently not all the same) are for the crew.

Need to find some vegetables that taste good with Muster.

Not confused at all. All passengers have always had to do muster drill but since Covid these have not involved going and sitting in the muster station which has meant that the crew did not have to perform a full muster drill. In order to keep the crew up to date (remembering that the crew are constantly changing) it is now a requirement that a full muster drill is periodically carried out.

Any idea how frequently? Where did you find the new requirement? There was a lot of chatter about muster drill on several boards some months back and it seemed as though most cruise lines had kept the e-drill (even those that reverted to full mustering after the pandemic switched back to e-muster after bad customer reaction). If there is now a new regulation, I am surprised there has not been more comment on other boards too.

We just sailed on the Muse (Seward to Vancouver). We had a normal Muster Drill at 630 pm where everyone was required to walk down the stairs and gather in Dolce Vita.
