Passenger safety = priority
Cruise activity, shipbuilding, and crew work are strictly regulated by numerous rules, acts, and requirements. The United Nations-founded International Maritime Organization closely monitors compliance with global standards for the safety and operation of cruise liners. In addition, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulates all cruise activities by international treaties, plans, regulations, and rules of technical and maritime safety. All codes are constantly being updated. Before going to sea, each ship crew must undergo mandatory training certification and practice all possible training alarms and evacuation measures.
Training alarm for passengers
This is one of the must-have activities on board. Following the provisions of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, each crew of a cruise ship conducts a training alert for passengers on the first day of sailing. It is often held before departure when all tourists are on board. So don't be surprised if you are asked to go out to study as soon as you are in the cabin.
During the training, passengers are told how to behave, where to go, where life jackets are stored in the cabin. Will hold training on wearing vests. If there are children on board, the crew will explain how to help the children. Just keep in mind that all this will be in the official language of the cruise company. More often - in English. If most passengers do not know English, there may be explanations in other languages .
Crew competence
Passengers resting on the liner sometimes do not realize how many people work on board to have a good and safe holiday. And all these people follow clear rules every day, and all go through numerous briefings, training, and exercises. Every employee of a cruise liner knows how to act in unforeseen circumstances and, most importantly, how to help guests of the ship.
