Safety First
We went back to the room at 3:30 to wait for the lifeboat drill to begin. I spent a few minutes unpacking and getting the cabin organized while the kids checked out the On-Demand TV options. At 3:45 the alarms sounded and we began making our way to our drill meet area. Our zone was the Buena Vista Movie Theater on Deck 4. There was a line when we arrived and we had to wait a few minutes in the hall before actually making it into the theater.
Once inside the CMs quickly checked in our family and we were ushered into the theater seats to wait. I must say this was much more pleasant than the outdoor deck locations we were assigned on our previous sailings where we had to stand in compact lines throughout the drill. Air conditioning and comfortable seating now this is how to conduct a safety drill. Cast members kept the families entertained while we waited. They ran through the safety information quickly and efficiently and we were on our way out in no time.
Note: If you happen to have the BVT as your drill area Id suggest getting there on the early side. It is a big theater, but not huge, so late comers had to stand until the drill was over.
