Makes more sense to have lifejackets at muster station sinct that is where you have to go in an emergency to get life boat. Why would you want to waste precious time going back to cabin to get life jacket

Keep up the good work.
Keep asking the question, “If I weren’t already doing it this way, would I start doing it this way now?” to see if old patterns are no longer the best way.

As a Celebrity crewmember, I am very happy to hear that there may be some changes coming down through the fleet regarding muster drill.

My emergency station is in a muster station, assisting guests with proper wearing of lifejackets (you’d be surprised how many variations of this simple process guests have come up with!), and guiding to lifeboats, and I hear dozens of complaints EVERY voyage about the discomfort, the inconvenience, the crowds, the weather (yes, during boat drill…).

If we can implement changes that cut down on even SOME of those complaints, you’ll see a much happier crew! And trust me, if the crew is happier, that’s going to show when interacting with our guests. A happy crew means a happy cruise for all.

Actually, I submitted a suggestion to Celebrity’s safety chief at head office back in 2007 (shortly after my 2nd or 3rd guest muster drill) about using RFID tracking in the SeaPass cards, or wireless handheld barcode scanners to scan each guest into the muster station, but never heard back from anybody.

A couple points to ponder….In the event of a fire in or near one of the muster stations, where would the passengers get the life jackets from? And, although passengers don’t need to get their PFD from their cabin, they still need to get warm clothing.

Great idea. Just one thing more your muster station should be on your sea pass card

I think that’s a WONDERFUL idea. My wife uses an electric scooter for mobility and it has always been a problem getting to, and returning from, the muster station. Now, as long as you know where your station is, which is one of the most important reason for the muster in the first place, you can go directly there and avoid the rush for elevators, etc.

They always say there are extra life jackets at the muster stations anyhow, so why not store them all there?

Good thinking RCCL!

Great Idea. For most ships, you must wear jacket to muster and THEN you’re taught how to put it on. My question is, on Oasis, where do you store that amount of life jackets and in an emergency, how long doe it take to get them in place?

[...] Royal Caribbean Cruises CEO Richard Fain says every ship must have a good system for mustering guests in times of emergency, but the current ubiquitous lifeboat drill isn’t rocket science and is made harder than it has to be. The problem is lifejackets, they are a “pain in the ass” noted Fain in his Chairman’s Blog. [...]
