The dock in new jersey was not very nice. Cruise line staff was very friendly and ship was great. Life boat drill was not a pleasant time. Bermuda was very pretty. Dinning room wait staff was great. disembarking was quite a chore.

I agree. On some ships you are herded into 5 row deep lines crowded together outdoors even in the rain and high temperatures. Then you stand there waiting for others to meander over to their muster stations But it is necessary to hold these drills just in case something happens that we need to abandon ship.

Life boat drills would/should usually be done under half and hour if not less. But the staff must check and find stragglers who take their own sweet time or even try to skip the drills, hence life boat drills dragging on longer than it should. If everyone would just head to their muster drill location, these drills would be over within minutes, and I mean minutes.
