B2B and Muster

[gill_boo]

Doing my first B2B in 2 weeks, will I have to do the second muster drill if I am not changing cabins?

All passengers are required to do the muster drill.

I had to (and I did have the same cabin), but others have reported not having to do it. Of course, it's not a big deal on the Fantasy class ships because the muster is held indoors. I didn't care because there's nothing else going on at that time.

When I approached both my cabin steward and a member of the purser crew with this exact question last November, both said something to the effect of, "All passengers are required to attend the muster drill on each cruise . . . however your cabin steward is not likely to check into the cabin of guests who are continuing on another sailing in the same assigned cabin". Each then grinned. They'd done their official job, but offered me a hint.

'Rumor' has it that the cabin steward did not check that cabin at all during the second sailing muster.

Exactly................Have experienced the same. Quite recently, in fact.......:)

we did a B2B in Oct/Nov and were told we didn't have to attend the 2nd muster drill, we just had to remain in a cabin and not on the balcony or on deck.

Same thing happened to us on the B2B2B on the Fascination

We went to our second week's muster drill this past summer and the crew member there sent us back our cabin after a few minutes. :)

15 minutes out of my entire week long cruise to learn a few safety instructions. Not so hard. But thats just me.

Onn my Destiny B2B in the fall I was told as long as you don't change cabins you do not need to do the second muster drill. So I just stayed in my cabin til was done.

LOL...now that is a first!!

 

I was also on the Destiny with a few other posters here...and was also told we did not have to go...but we needed to stay inside our cabins to hear the instructions. ;)

Skip it... Hide in your bathroom with 3 others like some lady said she did. That sounds like fun..

The point is, though, we already learned them jsut 4 days ago. No one's trying to skip, we're just saying we already did it. What purpose does it serve to go again when you're on the same ship, same cabin? But that's just me.

 

I was extremely thankful we had the same cabin both legs, as our son fell asleep right before muster, and trying to get him out of the cabin would be a major PITA after the fit he threw the first time!
