Aren't You Glad I Didn't Say Orange

What's Your Least Favorite Thing About Cruising?

Don't they look good in orange?

We suspect that if you thought about it for a minute, you aren't a big fan of the mandatory safety drill.  In particular, you don't want to get your life jacket on, got to the muster station and listen to the crew tell you about the safety onboard the vessel.

Not that you aren't concerned about safety of course, but you've heard it before and having to drop everything when you were just sitting down with your favorite cocktail ...

What would you say if we told you Royal Caribbean is changing things?   You might be wondering, is the mandatory safety drill going away?  No, but it  will be different.  No more sea of orange!  No more crowds!

Introducing Muster 2.0

Instead of gathering in the casino, restaurant, or other muster station to watch or listen to a presentation, you'll simply turn on your TV in your stateroom, and watch the safety briefing.  You'll still get all the necessary information, because safety at sea is still the number one concern for the captain and crew.

Step two of the process will be checking in at your muster station within a given time period.  The requirement to have everyone know the location of their assembly point doesn't change, but this new method allows for social distancing while still enforcing the requirements imposed by the Coast Guard.

There will no longer be people packing the stairways, dragging their life jacket belts behind them.  There won't be this mass exodus with people trying to get back to their cabins at the same time, to change for dinner or get ready for sail away.   This is just one of the new technological enhancements that will help to ensure a safe cruise for you and your entire party.

We look forward to seeing you on the high seas again soon.
