Yorkvillain Posted September 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Has anyone heard of these two codes being used together? Someone on the Oasis right now said they heard an "Alpha Bravo" page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Maybe fire and medical at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager70 Posted September 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Never heard that combo before. Maybe it was a crew drill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare whitshel Posted September 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Never mind, thats oscar oscar oscar. I remember hearing that on the Indy in St Kitts when the dock workers boat capsized and the Indy sent out its rescue boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager70 Posted September 2, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I thought bravo was man overboard? no? Bravo is code for fire. Oscar is code for man overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rudeney Posted September 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 2, 2015 If this is standard maritime signaling, these are unrelated. Alpha = Diver In the Water, Bravo = Carrying Explosives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voyager70 Posted September 2, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 2, 2015 If this is standard maritime signaling, these are unrelated. Alpha = Diver In the Water, Bravo = Carrying Explosives These are the codes used by Royal Caribbean and some other cruise lines. They are different from the standard maritime signaling.

garnetpalmetto Posted September 2, 2015 #16 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Oh, well, that seems somewhat strange! Not really. These aren't maritime signals in the sense of signal flags and the like but announcements over the ship's intercom/PA system so that the crew can more quickly respond to situations (and likely also to do so without causing undue alarm to the pax onboard).

cruzinlady1947 Posted September 2, 2015 #17 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Speaking of "Oscar".... Here is "Oscar" in the water during a drill in Labadee. It only took them about 15-20 min. to "rescue" him. Was interesting watching them. Till they got to "Oscar", he had floated a quarter way around the ship.:eek: Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired LEO Posted September 3, 2015 #21 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Has anyone heard of these two codes being used together? Someone on the Oasis right now said they heard an "Alpha Bravo" page. Someone was smoking on their balcony, started a fire, and the non smoker next to them couldn't breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These aren't maritime signals in the sense of signal flags and the like but announcements over the ship's intercom/PA system so that the crew can more quickly respond to situations (and likely also to do so without causing undue alarm to the pax onboard). It's still odd that they would not follow standard maritime signal codes. I mean, it's a ship after all! And it seems some do follow the standard codes - like Oscar Man Overboard.
