What Creators Are Saying About The Muster Drill

So, we wasn't too satisfied with Cday Brunch, so we decided to stop and get a rainbow bagel. Let's see. This is good. This kind of makes up for it.

He's in a desperate attempt to save a dying channel that's on the skids. And I'm going to turn you guys around so you can see the road.

Just because you're on vacation does not necessarily mean that you are exempt from bad things happening to you or the people you are traveling with.

The snack is described by on board signage as a crave warty natural bowl featuring bold flavors and fun bites made for cruising.

If you're a retiree who values a quiet lounge before dinner, or a grandparent who wants that curtain of separation from a grandkid on the sofa bed, this suite earns its keep.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for The Muster Drill.

If booking specialty dining for large groups on NCL, book for smaller numbers first to ensure availability, then coordinate with the maître d' on board.
Bring food to soak up alcohol during bar crawls.
Pack light/smart for NCL sailings since dressing up is less required.
Use compression bags with a small USB-C rechargeable vacuum to save space and manage soiled clothes.
Research specific ships and dining experiences before booking, as tastes vary.
Consider using a travel-sized CPAP to save space in carry-on luggage.
Purchase travel insurance for flights and cruises.
Fly in at least one day before your cruise departure.
