Echo, Echo, Echo?

[kgrassel]

I'm familiar with the Alpha, Bravo, and Oscar calls, but on the Liberty last week I heard Echo, Echo, Echo. Does anyone know what it means?

[kgrassel]

Anyone?

[misty57]

Is it for a fire or fire drill?

[Cruiserccl]

Is it for a fire or fire drill?

No thats Bravo Bravo Bravo :D

[bubbadog]

[cerving]

We were on the Explorer when there was a fire. Bravo, is for fire.

[Cruiserccl]

No Bravo is fire Alpha is medical had one on the Mariner a week ago!

Echo means they are altering their course to starboard. Check out this website...

I have never heard that one. I also turned up NOTHING by googling it! It may be unique to Royal Caribbean.

Yes, I saw that, too, for a signal flag.

 

I don't think that a cruise ship is going to have to notify or announce that the ship is turning to starboard over the PA system.

Must have been someone playing with the PA, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo :D

I tried that, too. I'm just really curious about it.

We did have an echo call on the liberty this past week but also yesterday morning while in the sphinx lounge awaiting departure call we had the bravo call for the carpenters work room. then we had guys come through with their fire equipment on. I was ready to get off then! Never did hear what the echo echo echo call was tho

[Merion_Mom]

Maybe they were trying to "Gaslight" you? ;)

[Silvery Seas Cruiser]

Could be code for a drill or a specific drill or specific crew members or even for security.

[frogfuzz]

We heard the echo call 2 times last on the same Liberty While we were in port. Actually we were on the balcony heard a big bang and heard the echo. I think Alpha is definately medical

[beachbuddy]

Alpha is medical, Brava is fire and Oscar is man overboard........we've experienced them all except Brava. Hearing Oscar at 5 a.m. in the morning was pretty scary.

 

I know they have some codes just for the crew....don't know what they are but I remember the captain saying they would be announcing some code and it was just a drill for the staff.

Are you real?

 

The code words that are being used here are ones used by the company when the situation arises, they are used so as to not raise panic onboard with the passengers.

 

Use of the International Code of Signals (Interco) are wide know and there are likely to be some passengers onboard that are knowledgable on them therefore they are not likely to be used.

 

In my work we also have 'keywords/code words' that can be used over the Marine band frequencies so as to not let eavesdroppers aware.

 

According to your posting

 

Alpha - Which normally is used when dealing with dangerous cargos handling (Explosives or fuels etc) yet it appears to be for another event

 

Bravo - I have divers down? Nope dont think that any cruise boat would have divers down at sea

 

As passengers, we are unlikely to be fully aware of these meanings of these codewords as there would then be no point in having them, maybe through time we might be able to put two and two together but until them we are all in the dark.

 

MCY !!

Hahaha....I was gonna say the same exact thing! lol :p

[JeffHatfield]

Don't know what echo is, but Tango is medical transport team.

[klfhngr]

Was Echo and the Bunnymen on board?

[HorrorFan]

Maybe it's a descriptive panic call from the casino on non smoking night?

[Scotsnomad]

Nope not going to fall into that one !!!. Everyone knows that tango is a fizzy drink !!!......
