lorri111 Posted September 21 #1 Share Posted September 21 How long is the muster drill video and do you have to watch it in your cabin, and by what time? Does it matter if you watch it first or sign in at muster station first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people don’t know their station so go to their cabin You cannot just go to any station. You can run the video on your mobile device or on your TV. Until you have watched it your TV will not let you watch other stations. It takes maybe 15 minutes. If you are in your cabin your medallion must be there as well. You need to do this prior to sailing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s on the app. And if you’ve been on that class of ship before it’s pretty clear where to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is showing Crooners (we are on Diamond), is that likely to change between now and cruise (5 days)? And are muster stations open as soon as boarding starts? Have to say Crooners is a good option as I can get some drinks to take back to cabin! Edited September 21 by lorri111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on ship but for the most part you embark on deck 7 where stations are. Envision the ship and figure vertically from you cabin to deck 7. That will probably be your station 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedprincess Posted September 21 #7 Share Posted September 21 Personally - I go drop my bag in the cabin and double check my muster station. Then go to the bar nearest to it, get a drink and watch the video. Then tap in to the station and voila - all done.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we mustered in the old days, I was expert at getting a long refreshing beverage before the bars shut down for the drill. I’m not going to sit there stone cold sober. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted September 21 #9 Share Posted September 21 When you board normally you do not go directly to your cabin. It's easy to visit your muster station and scan your medallion. There are crew in muster hats around the ship that will direct you to your proper muster station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renophi Posted September 21 #10 Share Posted September 21 Our ritual is to go to our cabin as soon as it is available, pop open a cold beer from our mini bar, watch the video while we unpack and then go to the muster station to check in. If the cabin isn't available right at boarding, we will have lunch and then do the above. We find it very relaxing to get all the "work" done first and then enjoy the rest of the voyage. The last thing we want to do is unpack after the sail away or dinner! Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreaminofcruisin Posted September 21 #11 Share Posted September 21 On our last cruise, we just went to the nearest muster station as soon as we got on the ship. They scanned our medallion for us and were able to tell us which muster stations we should go to. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BamaVol Posted September 22 #12 Share Posted September 22 I don’t know that you can trust the app prior to boarding. It does show a muster station, but mine changed after I boarded. It may just be a placeholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say imagine where your cabin is and drop down to deck 7 and that is probably your muster station. Our last 4 cruises we were extreme aft and the aft lounge was our station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BamaVol Posted September 22 #14 Share Posted September 22 Has anyone gotten credit for watching the video in a friends cabin? I made my grandkids watch with their parents rather than in my cabin and risk having to do it over. But it would make sense that they got credit for watching wherever their medallions were.
