CGBCruiser Posted March 8, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Echo means they are altering their course to starboard. Check out this website... http://www.gslyc.org/Utilities/code_flags.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted March 8, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2009 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? I have never heard that one. I also turned up NOTHING by googling it! It may be unique to Royal Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out this website... http://www.gslyc.org/Utilities/code_flags.html 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted March 9, 2009 #16 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Could be code for a drill or a specific drill or specific crew members or even for security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogfuzz Posted March 9, 2009 #17 Share Posted March 9, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbuddy Posted March 9, 2009 #18 Share Posted March 9, 2009 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.

Scotsnomad Posted March 9, 2009 #19 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Echo means they are altering their course to starboard. Check out this website... http://www.gslyc.org/Utilities/code_flags.html 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.
