How Long is the Dream Lifeboat Drill?

[BASTHEFIRST]

We're trying to arrange a DisMeet on-board for our group of Dream Cruise Easter Bunnies, most likely before the Sail Away Party. If anybody has a good Dream location to meet, we're open to suggestions. It seems like a logical time to meet since we're just into our first day, but we need to be able to plan around the Dream's Lifeboat Drill. For those that have sailed on the Dream already, how long has the drill usually lasted so we can try to set a time and place to meet and have everyone be able to make it before the Sail Away. Thanks.

the entire thing was like 20 minutes? our group met at the right hand side of the walt disney theater. it was a bit loud in there AND of course it was one of the very first musters, but i don't think it took any longer or was really any faster than the previous drills. however, since you don't wear your life jacket, i think you can leave from the drill and go whereever.

Before looking at your response, I was about to say 15 minutes. We're in the same ballpark.

Based on our experiences on the Magic the sail away starts right after the safety drill. Usually meets are done around 3 p.m. before the safety drill to give everyone a chance to say hello.

On our sail date, we didn't have it until about 4:30 or so due to the computers going down in the terminal. It felt like it was never going to end thanks to the children who were screaming because their mother hadn't fed them since 8 AM, but it was about 20 minutes.

Also: the Dream staff seems to take this very seriously. They were actually shouting out stateroom numbers that seemed to have not reported to the drill.
