marti2282 Posted April 11 #1 Share Posted April 11 Wonder if this has been implemented on Seashore? From poster on Seascape “MUSTER DRILL - new format, go at any time after boarding to have card scanned, watch video in room at any time, dial 881 from cabin phone and done.” 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KINGBOBOFTHENORTH Posted April 12 #2 Share Posted April 12 Much better than everyone watching the video at the same time and then reporting to their muster station immediately afterwards.....at the same time! Feedback can make a difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_T Posted April 12 #3 Share Posted April 12 Only seen it reported from one ship so far, so a 'trial' I'd say, rather than a fleet change... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted April 12 #4 Share Posted April 12 We did this on the Seascape last month. The only thing that bothered me was that when you called the number, there was no verbal confirmation that you had successfully registered your muster.

Rare JamieLogical Posted April 12 #5 Share Posted April 12 OMG! They cannot make this change fleet-wide fast enough! This was one of my few gripes about MSC. I could not understand why their process was so convoluted when all the other lines had a much more streamlined process post-restart. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the Meraviglia for Halloween and they were still making us watch the video in our room, dial the number, then get called down to our muster station by deck... all at a set time. So, if that changed on the Meraviglia, it must have changed VERY shortly thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray98 Posted April 14 #16 Share Posted April 14 That would be a great change. Muster was chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruzinforpeace*** Posted April 14 #17 Share Posted April 14 As much as the new way seems much easier, the old way is more realistic in an emergency. Everyone will be going all at once if there truly was an emergency. Hopefully it never happens🙏. All these ships nowadays are so huge I’m sure it would be absolute pandemonium if there was an actual emergency, “abandon ship”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So,So. true. Costa Concordia the crew were assigned to life rafts, only 2 life rafts were launched, so the crew took the passengers places on the life boats and 1000 passengers were left on the ship.

The captain on the Concordia was my Safety Officer when I worked on the Costa Atlantica in 2002. I remember him being somewhat lackadaisical about safety procedures back then. You really need to pay attention to where ALL the lifeboats/liferafts are located because in an emergency it’s most likely an “every man/woman/child for themselves scenario”.

gadaboutgal Posted April 15 #25 Share Posted April 15 Seashore currently: watch video in cabin, call the specified number, then report IN MASS to your assembly station. It's all fine up until everyone is stepping over everyone to get to their station, at which place they scan your card and you leave. Hopefully they will make the change to individual reporting soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
