There is a difference between the "emergency" drills and the lifeboat drills required by the cruise lines. On every single one of my cruises, usually on a port day, there was a time when all passenger services would be shut down and the crew would go through an emergency drill.It is very important that everyone show up for the life boat drill - if you can't stand the way Carnival does it I suggest you try a Princess cruise - you report to your muster station (a very comfortable lounge or public space INSIDE) - and you stay there. In an emergency, you will be lead to a lifeboat if that becomes necessary.But, please, don't skip the life boat drill becuase of your phobias. I have some of my own, but I make sure I keep them in check and do what I need to do - not only for myself, but my fellow passengers. If you are one of those that didn't attend, don't expect sympathy from those of us with our own problems who do.
