Default Cruiser booted off Westerdam for not complying with safety briefing
I wonder if we're going to start seeing more cruiselines take a hard line in the future.


Cruiser kicked off ship for safety drill 'non-compliance' - USATODAY.com

I am glad to see HAL do this. I wish all the cruise lines would enforce a policy like this. You don't attend, off you go.

It has been pointed out else (pre-Concordia) that passenger participation in the safety drill is not a Coast Guard requirement. I wonder if the liens will start putting this in their contracts.

The Coast Guard requirement is the drill be held - I want to credit the original statement but don't want to misquote somebody.

One of those who believes it's "my cruise. I'll do what I want attitude".

I advocated the enforcement of a smiliar policy either on this board or elsewhere and I was flamed

Times have changed.
