Muster Drill- Zenith

[moai]

Anyone knows if the Muster drill is before or after sail away? At what time? :D

[tuggers]

Before. 45 minutes to one hour before sailaway, no maybe 30 minutes. You can't miss it, lots of people in orange running around!

Thanks

Lifeboat drills are always before sailaway unless you miss the drill and are asked to make it up the next day. They want you sober before the sailaway party and also need to comply with regulations.

During the drill, I was kind of "pushed" back by passengers in front of me at our life boat, and I rubbed up against a huge wench that had grease on it. I got it on my sweater, and was really bummed about it.

Last week on the Zenith the drill was at 3:45pm with a 4:30 sailaway time.

Funny you said that. I got grease on my shorts during muster drill 2 weeks ago.

Too funny!! :D

How "huge" was she? :eek:

If there was grease involved, she must have just came from the kitchen, which of course would make her a "serving" wench! ;)

[rs2ndwife]

Alright, alright. Very funny. A divit then. You know, the big spool of cable found near the life boats? (Perhaps the term "winch" is used more often in smaller sailing vessels?) :)

 

Sorry to hear you got grease on your shorts. If only I had been more quick to post...

 

Have a good one, everybody!

[rs2ndwife]

Davit.

 

So much bad spelling, so little time to retract it...

Having been there -done that many times,we have devised a strategy. Go to the muster station early. Go to the back of the room,lounge,casino,etc and be the last to leave. By the time you get to the lifeboats the drill is frequently over or at worst,you're in front and not near those greasy wenches.You also are the first to leave and can start enjoying the cruise.

Thanks for the tip - although I will probably want to attend the drill, I will hang back when everyone leaves from the muster station so as not to be the one in the very back next to the big greasy thing with the cable on it! :)
