I told you that you were going to get some interesting posts on this topic!!

Honestly, if going to the drill gives you peace of mind then go. I personally think that it is a waste of time for some people, I am competant enough to know how to put on a life jacket and I am competant enough to figure out where my muster station is. I mean how many muster drills do you need to go to in a lifetime to figure out where the lifeboats and life jackets are? I also, think it is ludicrous that they would hold up the drill because some people didn't show up. We did discover that the instructions Carnival gave us regarding disembarking were not correct, so there are a few inconveniances that are billed as maritime or immagration law that is not always the case. I think (as they should) they err on the side of caution. Personally I went the last time, but some people in my group didn't they stayed in their cabin and took a shower, that was their choice. I for one generally follow the rules, but I don't freak out when others don't.

There Melissa, now they can yell at me some now.
