Carnival Cruise Line’s Brand Ambassador, John Heald, posted a short video on his Facebook page this morning correcting wrong information being spread by YouTubers, TikTokers and some cruise news websites.
Fake news was spreading how Carnival Cruise Line was returning to the way they did muster drills before 2021. Instead of everyone going to the their muster station anytime from embarkation until sailaway at their own convenience, all guests would have to do it at the same time once again.
However, this is not true. Carnival is not going back to the way they used to do muster drills.
Heald said the following during the three minute video:
“Are returning to the old way of doing the lifeboat drill, muster station, or whatever you like to call it? The answer is no, here is the truth. Approximately every six months, we will on every ship, do a full muster. We’re required to do this within regulations from U.S. Coast Guard.”
Guests who are booked on one of the cruises that will have to do the full muster drill will receive an email before their cruise letting them know.
For every other Carnival cruise, the muster still will continue to be a self-mustering process.
