Carnival is implementing a new Safety Briefing, formerly referred to as the “Boat Drill,” which will be rolled out throughout the fleet by the end of 2009 and we are sure it will be well-received by your clients.

When the signal for the Safety Briefing sounds, guests will no longer be required to go to their stateroom to collect their lifejackets but will proceed directly to their assigned muster station from their location at that time. The letter of the muster station to which the guest is assigned (according to stateroom number) is printed on their Sail & Sign card, which will need to be in the guests’ possession during the Safety Briefing.

During the Safety Briefing, the Evacuation Personnel will be visible to all guests and demonstrate how to wear a lifejacket.

This new procedure will improve the guest’s experience and prevent unnecessary accidents due to hanging strings from the lifejackets as well as heat exhaustion at the muster stations during summer-type weather

HALLELUJAH!!! It's about time they streamlined this process.
