Its quite irrelevant whether you are legally obligated by the coastguard to attend. You are contractually obligated but the cruise line to attend. It is part of the agreement to follow all rules and regulations of the cruiseline when you buy your ticket. I was on a norwegian ship and we stood there for an hour because they would not let us leave until ALL passengers had reported for the drill. They kept announcing the names of the 4 or 5 people who had not shown up for the drill. Needless to say once it got around the ship who the stragglers were, they received quite a few stares the remainder of the time.
