Scotty G Posted October 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Previously on Freedom we just checked in at our assigned Lifeboat Station and then we went to the Dining Room that they directed us to. Bon Voyage!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Lomas Posted October 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Or do they have another place inside I can go thanks for any info We were on the Freedom both of the last 2 March Breaks for cruises. Both times our muster stations were located inside one of the lounges. I cannot say for sure that this is true for all passengers, but it was for us. Like Bob mentioned, you may want to ask Guest Services when you get aboard or even look at the muster location on the back of your cabin door when you first get to your cabin before asking at Guest Services.

Clarea Posted October 20, 2017 #5 Share Posted October 20, 2017 ... I cannot say for sure that this is true for all passengers, but it was for us. ... Many muster stations are outside on deck 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanobieFan Posted October 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 20, 2017 When I sailed on Freedom we were inside the Egypt themed room for the drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pstreet12 Posted October 21, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 21, 2017 When I have needed inside muster, they have always arranged it--either sent me to another station that was inside or let me join the dis-abled section (which has been in the bar, just inside the door to the deck.)

payitforward Posted October 21, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'm also disabled, and have always been sent to an indoor venue for the muster drill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted October 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Heaven forbid but how will you evacuate into a life boat or raft ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted October 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Heaven forbid but how will you evacuate into a life boat or raft ? The crew is trained to get all people into lifeboats. They will carry people and wheelchairs if they have to in the event of an emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted October 21, 2017 #12 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The crew is trained to get all people into lifeboats. They will carry people and wheelchairs if they have to in the event of an emergency. Those crew members are only 130 lbs soaking wet, good luck lifting a 300 lb person. i would think they would have a lift like the ones at the pool.

hannibal54 Posted October 21, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I always go to my muster station early to let the person who is taking everyone's room number that I can't stand for the drill. They always direct me to a muster station where I can sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug S Posted October 21, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 21, 2017 if you happen to be in an accessible cabin I believe your muster station will be an inside venue. At least that's how it has been for us. On those sailings where we did not have an accessible room, I was allowed to take both of our sea passes to the station and check in and we were directed to an inside bar for the drill.

grapau27 Posted October 21, 2017 #15 Share Posted October 21, 2017 See Guest Services before muster, they will accommodate you. When we were on Freedom in June and during the muster i could see through the window several people with wheelchairs sitting in the lounge and a crew member was chatting to them.

gerif Posted October 21, 2017 #16 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Those crew members are only 130 lbs soaking wet, good luck lifting a 300 lb person. i would think they would have a lift like the ones at the pool. They are well trained and even if it takes several of them, I'm sure they can get you safely into a lifeboat no matter what you weigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sellwingri Posted October 21, 2017 #17 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I always go to my muster station early to let the person who is taking everyone's room number that I can't stand for the drill. They always direct me to a muster station where I can sit. Exactly what we do. We give the person our cabin number and we're directed where to go inside to sit down and view the drill. No need to go to Guest Services first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr8934 Posted October 21, 2017 #18 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I am mobility challenged and unable to stand too long. Also, fall prone. So when muster is outside they've given me a chair to sit on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
