Creator's Key Takeaways
I would not keep performing.
Every crew member on the ship is assigned a station bill number.
There are more than enough lifeboats and more than enough life crafts just in case any particular lifeboat or life raft or anything were to not be working.
We were supposed to report to muster station A when it would say crew alert.

Inside The Music - my vlog about all things relating to my multi-faceted music career and my life in general. April 11, 2023 In a recent AMA, I was asked if I would I keep performing to calm the passengers, or would I prioritize my own safety? In this video, I share my experiences and insights into the unique challenges and responsibilities that my wife, Stephanie, and I faced as musicians and crew onboard the Carnival Elation. We explore the safety roles we had and the potential risks and dilemmas that arise in emergency situations. At any moment, a disaster may occur, and as crew, we need to be ready to jump into action. I answer some questions about ship safety from my own perspective in a candid and look into the life of a musician on a cruise ship. Join me as I share my perspective on this fascinating and often misunderstood profession, and examine the realities of life at sea for musicians.
