Muster drill question

[goldengirl]

Hello  all
To verify about muster drill. Is it the same as it always was I’m not sure I saw many conflicting post so I would like to try to get a handle on what is going to happen on the cruise ship thank you

You read all the info on the app then go to your muster station.  They will mark you as being done.  Simple

Make sure to take your SeaPass so they can scan it. We went early (before we got the cards) and they checked us off the paper list, but had to go back later and let them "officially" scan us as having been there.

The muster drill is a lot simpler than it once was.  We obtained our seapass and then went to the muster station to be cleared doing it as soon as we could.  We watched the video well ahead of time to go to the muster station.

On the Symphony last month as you boarded the ship (we were on by 11:15 am) the workers in green vests told us if you already watched the message on your phone take your set sail  pass and go to your station to get your muster requirement done.

 

We did, they scanned our set sail pass, did the quick 2  min. in service and off we went.

 

We did not have to wait for our sea pass, cabins did not open till 2pm. anyway.

 

Stay safe

We have been on four RCI cruises in the last few months. For all four cruises we went to our muster location as soon as we boarded the ship. They scanned our boarding passes on our phones and we never had to return with our sea pass. What ship were you on that made you come back with your sea pass card?

Independence. They just marked it on the clipboard, didn't ask for phone or paper.

I really like they way they are doing the muster drills currently. Quick, easy and painless. Took about 5 minutes on the Symphony last month.

On the Mariner last month, after watching a crew member demonstrate how to put a life preserver on they gave us green sticker to put on our sea pass card.

We just got back from Serenade of the Seas.  We had to watch a video on the app, then meet at our muster station to meet with a staff member who briefly reiterated and checked us off the list (I think scanning our sea pass cards).

I sailed on Mariner last month, and we went straight to our muster station first, to get it done with. They gave us stickers to put on our Sea Pass Cards. Your Sea Pass Cards are now at your room and not at port check-in. So we just carried the stickers (attached to backing, not sticky) with us to our room to put on our Sea Pass Cards immediately after. Once in our room we watched the videos. We got it all done and over with as soon as we got on the ship.

 

I will say though, it’s not a glitch-free system yet. We still got a letter outside our state room alleging we hadn’t completed the muster requirements, but at the bottom of the letter it said “IF YOU COMPLETED THE MUSTER DRILL, DISREGARD THIS LETTER.”  I immediately called Guest Services, told them we had done everything, had the stickers on our Sea Pass Cards, and our videos were marked complete in the app, and they just said they’d notify the Safety Officer. It was easily resolved but weird. So when we sail this month, I think we’re going to watch the muster videos on the room tv, which is also an option, in case it was an app glitch.

After watching on the TV or the app, you go to the muster station for the sticker. At least that's how it was on the Ovation in September.

[BirdTravels]

On our most recent cruise, we were directed to the mister station where our SetSail pass was scanned. 
 

While easy for the passengers,

think of the poor crew who have to stand there for hours vs the old 30 min muster, then work a full night’s shift.

They scanned our Set Sail Passes since we didn’t have our Sea Pass Cards yet, because we went straight to the muster station upon boarding.

Do you have to watch the day of or can you watch the video a week in advance?

It's not available until you are on the ship's WiFi.

The video may be available before boarding.

I watched the video a couple days before sailing.  Asked if that was OK when I went to check in at our muster station and they said yes....later on that day got a call in my stateroom asking if I had watched the video...still some technical issues to work out

[DaniDanielle]

We watched before we boarded also.  Checked in at muster, no problems.

[Merion_Mom]

I am glad that this has changed.  Earlier reports were different.  @Biker19 - I hope that you weren't driving.  😉

We are a party of 6 from three different households.  I was going to check everyone in.  Does everyone need to download the app in order to accomplish this?
