Not only would it be easier but it forces people to download the app, which is exactly what Carnival and every cruise line wants you to do anyway. Not everybody has cell phones though.

Having actually done it and gone to your station could save lives In an actual emergency, everyone will be in a panic anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, the captain of the Costa Concordia used the disorganization to get himself on a lifeboat ahead of his passengers. That's why I always kind of chuckle when they assure us we will be told what to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the crew had "been there, done that" so many times they do not need the drill. New passengers on the other hand, do need to know what to do in case of emergency. I like the idea of watching it on the TV, then a check in point at the actual muster station, so that everyone would know where to go in case of emergency. And there are never no crew members who have not done this numerous times? As I posted previously, those with nautical experience have said over and over that the drill is more for the crew to practice herding passengers. I'm sure there are a lot of other safety drills that the crew does. Would you be ok with them stopping them because they have done them over and over?
