What is an assembly drill, and do I have to go?
These are commonly referred to as lifeboat drills. EVERYONE on board the ship is required to be in attendance for a compulsory safety drill before departure in order to comply with Coast Guard and International Safety regulations. And believe me when I say that they know who you are and they will find you, so join in the fun, put on your life jacket, and follow the instructions which are posted on the inside of your cabin door.
