January Cruise from Baltimore Is Muster Drill outside

[Loyal Buckeye]

We are taking a cruise out of Baltimore in January on the Pride. Are the Muster Drills done outside? Since the ship doesn't leave until 6:00 I was thinking that it might be pretty chilly standing out on the deck. Does anyone know if they do them outside?

Hi- I have sailed the Pride twice in February, both times the muster drill was held inside however 1 time I do remember having to go outside to see where our muster station was. We walked out 1 door, past the station and in the next door. That was in 2/16 I don't remember doing that last February. Have a great time!

I have heard Baltimore sailings with a foot of snow on the Lido deck, no thanks

When we sailed in February we were primarily inside, but did have to briefly walk outside as a group to see the actual location.

 

In September everything was outside.

 

It would be a very rare occurrence to have even an inch of snow on the Lido deck, more than 3 inches probably doesn't happen more than once every 5-10 years.  A foot of snow in Baltimore would likely cause significant delays getting to the port.

Our cruise on Nov 4 we went to the outside muster location where they had people to tell us to go back inside to the main dining room because of the cold (45 degrees F) weather.
