About that lifeboat drill. I was on a cruise when there was a fire in the engine room and we all had to report to our lifeboat stations with our vests. I think that myself and everyone else on the ship were glad that the drill we had had a few days before was mandatory. They checked cabins, etc., to be sure that everyone was on the deck. On a cruise last summer in the Baltics, they checked your status on deck electronically with a scanner and your room key.
