Muster Drill Photo's

[CruiseDuck]

The one time I wish I had a camera at muster was when an elderly man came to the muster with a donald duck inflatable ring around his waist and wearing his mask and snorkel. I'm sure everyone has seen the dreaded 'muster look drill' on everyone's face. When that man showed up the whole mood in the place lightened up. He even had the crew smiling.

 

Yes, I do believe that the muster is an important drill that should be taken seriously. As every motivational speaker will tell you if you make people relax they are much more likely to hear, and remember, what you are saying.

 

Just my 2 cents worth........

You really shouldn't encourage me like this, you know!

 

That's exactly the sort of silly stuff I love to do

just to raise a laugh!

 

Now you have me thinking...where can I get........?

On many, possibly all :confused: of our cruises....I've seen people taking pictures before and after muster drill...and I've never done it. Mostly because it never occurred to me. But we're leaving in 10 (YEA!! COUNT 'EM 10 ) days & I will absolutely bring my camera to the drill... take pictures before, take pictures after...and share them with you when I return! :D

 

And also, for what it's worth...I'm very sure of this info having asked specifically about it: In a real emergency they DO NOT want you to return to your stateroom to retrieve life jackets. You're supposed to go directly to your muster station.

Well, this is related to muster drills (sort of) ...

 

The Italian lines, in an effort to look a little more upper class, have asked a local carpenter (yes, these are made out of wood in Italy) to redesign their lifeboats. So, what do you think?

Here's one picture taken just before the always entertaining muster drill.

 

Isn't she supposed to be wearing that vest?

Yeaah but maybe she's like my wife - not the easily perturbed type

who found the lifejacket to be confining enough

that a claustraphobia of sorts set in

and she had to take it off!

 

 

 

I thought it was just a PITA

......................

 

Thanks to the person who informs that the system doesn't want you

to return to your room for your L.Jacket.

 

This inspires much confidence,

particularly in the storage location of your Life Jackets.

Presumably there's a double set somewhere on Lifeboat Deck

so I'll still have one, when I arrive without my cabin-based item?

 

Hope none of us ever have to find out!

Here's my wife & I at our muster station on the Maasdam back in '06...

While the safety drill is important, we wanted to get into the spirit of the season.

Here's 3 of us (I'm taking the picture) in the Casino (our muster station) on our trip to Alaska aboard the Celebrity Mercury in September 2005.

THAT IS THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST MUSTER DRILL PICTURE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!! Sorry to yell at you :D but I LOVE IT!!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

[singjenn]

Sounds complete chaos.

No photography, save once on one trip for a group of morons. If people want pictures of themselves looking daft, then there are plenty of other places to do it.

Just got back from a cruise on a UK ship - Ocean Village Two-

where the muster drill was a considerably more civilized affair

than the boring standing-around-waiting ordeal we had on Carnival Destiny

 

Our Muster station was the Casino

where we were invited to have a seat in comfortable casino chairs.

We were then given a long and informative talk

complete with sample alarm bell sequence and suchlike

 

- and only at the very end were we required

to actually don the damned thing and buckle it up!

They all look like sardines:D . I know that is how I feel at times....Great pic (see post number 4)

Muster drill abstract.

 

We were lucky enough to muster in a lounge and the bright orange

reflections were too much of a temptation...

 

 

I like the concept of being required to put on you vest to attend

a drill that demonstrates how to put on you vest.
