Cruise ship crew have to do THIS once a year 🛳️
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator describes the annual lifeboat filling drill conducted by cruise ship crew members. This process involves checking the capacity of the lifeboats and ensuring they remain buoyant. The drill begins with a central meeting point located at the ship's ice skating rink. Crew members then file into the lifeboats one by one. The creator notes that the boats are often more crowded than the designated seating markers suggest, which can lead to high temperatures inside the vessels when the sun is out. To manage the heat, the top hatch is opened and water bottles are distributed to the participants. Following the completion of the drill, the crew celebrates with a Halloween party. The creator explains that because large parties are held for passengers on the actual holiday, the crew holds their own celebrations earlier in the cruise.
