Creator's Key Takeaways

So, I used to work on a cruise ship, and I'm going to give you five different emergency codes that you'll hear on the intercom.

Code alpha. Now, this is a general medical emergency. It could range from a minor injury to something as serious as somebody unfortunately kicking the bucket.

Cold bravo. This means that there is a fire on board the cruise ship. And believe it or not, this is worse than the cruise ship sinking.

Cold oscar. This means that somebody has gone overboard. Either they intentionally jumped, they fell trying to take a selfie on the railing or somebody pushed them over.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Know the emergency codes to understand what's happening on the ship.
Be aware that every cruise ship has a morgue for serious medical incidents.
