Creator's Key Takeaways

It's great customer experience and yeah, one of the most chilled musters we've ever done.

In contrast to that, you have MSC who are insistent that all 6,000 passengers do their muster at the same time.

No clue why they insist on everybody doing it at the same time but it's by far our worst experience.

It was refreshingly simple. We actually stumbled across our muster station. It was in the theater here.
