Creator's Key Takeaways

So, I know that for a lot of people, it was really comforting to kind of go into your cabin and be able to see, oh, the life jacket is up on the top shelf or it's under the bed.

They are trained for these situations. They train regularly. They train often and they are trained to deal with what to do if a child is separated from their family.

Elevators are rated between 3,000 and 6 thou and 5,000 pounds. Um, so that's up to 20 that's 20 or more people.

The dangers you really do have to look out for are mainly viral and bacterial related.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Carry a spare set of medication with you, especially if you are life or death dependent on it.

✓Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds before eating to prevent viral and bacterial illnesses.

✓Wear a mask in elevators, theaters, and buffet areas if you are immuno-compromised or afraid of getting sick.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Life jacket location change — Ask your room steward or during muster drill to show you where they are and how to use them.

Finding lifeboats in an emergency — Trust the crew, who are trained for emergencies, and go to your muster station.

Elevator breaking due to weight — Elevators are rated for high weight limits and examined regularly; it's unlikely to happen.
