During your first day (see Embarkation) you have a life boat drill. The whole thing takes about forty minutes to complete. You have to wear long sleeves, pants, closed toe shoes, and something to cover your head (hoodie, hat, scarf, whatever...). You must put your life jacket on you and go to your designated evacuation area (marked on the back of your cabin door). There is a roll call. Once everyone is there, you move to your life boat and get inspected by the captain to make sure that everything is how it should be. This completes the drill.
This drill happens once a month, for a total of three or four times on your voyage. You may not talk during the drill; it's only forty minutes, you can survive.
