New Poll - Do ya' Muster?

[wizard-of-roz]

Guilty.......I ALWAYS put my life jacket on before we hit our station....and, well...I am a bit "built" on top and the damn thing never seems to fit, quite right..no matter how much I let out the straps...The jacket is always riding up my chin and I can barely open my mouth and...............well, you get the picture....

So, laugh away....it is funny!!!!:D

And for those of you who find attending muster drills tiresome or too afraid to put down that bon voyage Margarita for fear you won't be able to find it again:

 

"Nevertheless, there was confusion. As predicted, some people had no clue as to where their lifeboat stations were. Others had trouble putting on the simple life jacket, (Skol, Skol, Skol) and had to be helped."

Not a great example, since the article implies that the problems were a result of passengers that had too much to drink (skol, skol, skol). However, I would agree that people that are not familiar with the cruise line's procedures or the location of their muster station should attend.

To me, muster drills are similar to funerals for friends. We don't enjoy going, but we go, because it is the right thing to do.

Actually, I have been on one or two cruises where they had a "roll call."

 

The HAL cruises I've been on have a roll call. Tough to not show up, but what is a cruise without a muster? That means the fun is starting!
