Onboard Safety
When something goes wrong aboard a cruise ship—whether it’s a fire, medical emergency, or security threat—every crew member has a defined safety responsibility rooted in training, coordination, and calm execution. Crew are expected to follow their assigned emergency duties as outlined in the ship’s muster list, which may include guiding passengers to assembly stations, operating firefighting equipment, assisting with lifeboat deployment, or communicating with bridge officers. Beyond task execution, crew must remain composed, uphold chain of command, and prioritize passenger safety above all else. Regular drills ensure that when real incidents occur, response is swift, structured, and aligned with international maritime safety protocols. Safety isn’t just a department—it’s a shared culture, and every crew member is part of it.
