THE "SIMPLIFIED" MUSTER DRILL IS TOO MUCH EFFORT....SOOO

I recall one cruise last year where we were directed to our muster station immediately after boarding the ship. On the next cruise we weren't directed, but we went to our assigned muster station on our own to get that little task out of the way. There was no staff there and we had to return later!

I agree with the previous suggestion that there should be no drinks and no cabin access until making an appearance at the muster station. With the "old" procedure, it seemed like there was always quite a few drunk and belligerent individuals making it very unpleasant for the majority of people who just wanted to follow the rules and get it over with asap. It seemed like a lot of the late stragglers keeping everyone waiting had come from the bars. The "new" procedure lends itself to restricting pre-muster alcohol and cabin access because guests can quickly lift the restriction by simply reporting to their muster station, and then go about their business of drinking, unpacking, or whatever with minimal delay.

It's unfortunate that so many people have the attitude of "I'm on vacation, I don't have to do anything I don't want to do."

Not everyone has a cell or tablet and some that do do not use apps .......

I have an option to add: denial of boarding until they do the eMuster. Have them show proof via their app that they did it. No show, no ship!

I agree its a shame but sometimes forced compliance is the only way Maybe as you enter you are sent to the next available muster drill session.

It still bothers me that the CL's have not come up with a punitive solution to people not completing the new, simplified muster process.

No Muster Visit? No Dranks, no dinner, no room access. That would sure square me away right skippy.

On Spirit after our second drink, we were told that before we could be served another drink, we needed to report to our muster station. And about 15 minutes were in the Atrium.

How about you can't get a drink or get in your cabin until drill is complete? Completion activates the card.

IDK..

I liked the muster drill when we boarded Spirit. It was when ever just as long as you did it on embarkation day, up close, we could interact with the instructors.

I liked the new process, when we were on the 2nd leg of our B2B on the sunshine before C hit, there was almost a fight broke out due to one of the vets had PTSD and a child screaming in the cramped library 30 of us were shoved into. so glad how the new process works. yea, just shoot me :)

As people board, scan their card. Then hand them a hot dog, and tell them to report to their mustard station. Some will get the joke, others will assume the relish and onions will be available too. Either way, everyone shows up.

Sorry, it’s early.
