Crew Lifeboat Drill - Serenade of the Seas

At Royal Caribbean International, the safety and security of the guests and crew is of highest priority. At the beginning of every cruise, all guests and crew must complete a drill known as the "muster" drill, to ensure they are familiar with what to do and where to go in the unlikely event of an emergency. The guest muster drill includes a demonstration of how to properly put on and secure a life jacket, an explanation of what to do in case of an emergency, a demonstration of the emergency alarm (seven short tones and one long), an overview of evacuation and lifeboat embarkation procedures and how to find the muster stations. (A muster station is the place where designated groups of passengers meet in case evacuation by lifeboat becomes necessary.) In addition to the muster drill for the guests before the cruse start, officers and crew conduct weekly, monthly and annual drills on every ship, and complete extensive training, certification and scenarios in preparation for the very unlikely event of an emergency, including training on ship evacuation procedures.
