Muster Drill question

[Hockeychic]

It’s been a long time since I cruised on DCL.

do you still have to wait in a certain area with many others for the muster drill or have they gone to just checking in at the Muster Station before the cruise like Carnival has done?

Thank you

They went to the electronic muster during Covid but there has been too much noncompliance and they returned to in person muster.

Oh darn. . Thank you for the information.

That's a shame they got back.

From my experience DCL is at least partly culprit with it, I remember a time I wasn't with DW, went to my assembly station and had issues with the app. Chatted with the CM on site, they noticed my wife wasn't with me, and offered to register her so she will not have to come back (of course I did not ask for this in any way)

Well that's disappointing. If DCL was enabling this behavior (one might even say they were encouraging it), then no wonder they had low compliance with everyone in the stateroom checking in at their muster station.

I think the non-compliance was people not watching the video which was also required. The App and stateroom TV could verify if it was watched or not.

We couldn’t get the app to play the video. It just kept freezing. It never showed up on our in room TV either. We tried, but they didn’t make it easy. We tried both several times throughout the first day.

I think it is important that everyone show up, in person, and know where his muster station is. Knowing how to properly don the lifejacket is also nice, so I get it. BUT, how are other lines still doing it in a much more cavalier way? Is it the Coast Guard or DCL that required it to return to the old way? Our last cruise was the longest drill yet because of stragglers.

Did a b2b on the dream during virtual muster. The 2nd leg only I went to do the check in and they didn't seem to care. Another cruise on the Wish was just real fast paced with virtual muster, and afterwards DW said she didn't remember where it was.
