First-Time Cruiser Tip: Don’t Skip the Muster Drill on Royal Caribbean — It’s Easier Than Ever
If you’re gearing up for your very first Royal Caribbean cruise, you’re probably dreaming about sun-soaked decks, FlowRider surf sessions, and endless buffets. But before you dive into all the fun, there’s one quick (but crucial) step you’ll need to complete: the muster drill — and Royal Caribbean has made it incredibly simple.
What Is the Muster Drill?
The muster drill is a mandatory safety check-in that teaches you what to do in case of an emergency at sea. You’ll find out where your muster station is (your emergency meeting point), how to put on a life jacket, and what the ship’s emergency signals sound like.
Don’t worry — it’s not scary, and it only takes a few minutes. It’s also required by maritime law, so everyone has to do it — whether it’s your first cruise or your fiftieth.
Royal Caribbean’s Muster 2.0®: Safety Made Simple
Royal Caribbean has revolutionized the muster drill with Muster 2.0®, a faster, more flexible way to complete the safety briefing. Instead of gathering in large crowds at a set time, you can now complete most of the drill on your own — via the Royal Caribbean app or your stateroom TV — at your own pace, before sailaway.
Once you’ve reviewed the safety information, all you have to do is visit your designated muster station (usually just a short walk from your stateroom) to check in with a crew member. That’s it — no crowds, no long waits, and no stress.
Pro Tip: Do It Early
Complete your Muster 2.0 drill as soon as you board — the sooner it’s done, the sooner you can start enjoying everything the ship has to offer. Royal Caribbean won’t let you order a drink, swim, or hit the buffet until you’ve finished it.
Final Thought
Your Royal Caribbean vacation should be all about fun and relaxation, and that starts with safety. Thanks to Muster 2.0, it’s never been easier to get it done and get on with your cruise. So tap that app, check in early, and get ready to cruise like a Royal.
