LIFE BOAT DRILL

We had our first life boat drill yesterday. It was mandatory for everyone to attend. We were instructed to return to our rooms and put on long pants, long sleeved shirts, jacket, hat and closed toe shoes. Then we had to put on our life vests. There is a poster on the back of the door instructing us where to go when the alarm sounds. At the alarm we all walked upstairs and out onto the deck and to our assigned life boat. (Women and children in the front, men in the rear.) After we all were assembled the staff called out our room numbers and we had to respond that we were present. They went through the list of room numbers twice. After the captain was satisfied with our compliance we were allowed to return to our rooms. We will being doing this periodically throughout our voyage.
