Reckon they'll let me take a pint with me? 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually being there made it more real ... and made it feel like a cruise.. if you get me. A ship is a ship not a land hotel..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you would need to treble your statin pills to counter the high cholesterol content of the cakes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All to attend designated station, but did not need to take lifejackets along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like we have been on diets forever for this cruise, so a few pounds, in both senses, isn't a deal breaker... 😂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckett Posted April 23 #85 Share Posted April 23 I must tell you a funny story about a full muster on Britannia. It was 2016 I think - Britannia was a fairly new ship anyway. So, I gathered my life jacket and trotted down to the lounge. All was clearly explained and straightforward...... until we had to demonstrate the fitting of jackets. So embarrassing. I don't wear trousers, ever, and these particular lifejackets had to be fitted by looping the attachment from the back, between your legs and bringing the clip up the front of the body to attach .....which would have involved exposing an amount of leg that only a doctor should see! Obviously I didn't do the full fit and one of the lovely female crew suggested that whilst on board I should "purchase some of the very nice trousers we sell on board". Good sales pitch! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cloudyrain Posted April 24 #88 Share Posted April 24 Urgh, not full Muster Drills 😭 The only good thing that came out of Covid was the change to muster drill 😂 although I do tend to think that must people checking in at their muster station after they get onboard have no clue what the place is or how to get there again 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad enough when there was the "organised" muster drills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad enough when there was the "organised" muster drills. Was good watching folk who loved to blow the life jacket whistle, with a big smile on their face . That was until you informed them ,lots of folk do that and the stewards do not clean them but if you like the taste of some strangers week old saliva 🙃 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad enough when there was the "organised" muster drills. Totally. We went on a cruise in America at Thanksgiving once and by the time Muster started about 75% of the guests were hammered, some even fell asleep 😬 I just take the “I’m alright Jack” attitude to it all these days: my son is obsessed with the safety video and knowing where the muster station and boats are, so we are fully versed at least 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
