I’ve yet to find anyone who looks forward to muster drill. However, it’s maritime law and non-negotiable so got to do it. But what really annoys me are those selfish folk who seem to think because they’ve cruised before, or ‘cos they just don’t think it applies to them as they’re ‘special’, don’t bother turning up. This means the rest of us have to sit around waiting for ages whilst those idiots are rounded up!!
