Norwegian Cruise Line Goes Back to E-Muster Drills
After switching back to in-person muster drills in January, Norwegian Cruise Line is reversing its decision.
In a note to travel agents, the line said that it’ll be going back to e-muster drills starting April 1st. Not all ships will immediately switch at the start of the month, but the change will roll out throughout April.
Norwegian didn’t say why it’s going back to e-musters, but guest feedback is likely a big reason.
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ other two cruise brands, Oceania and Regent, have not indicated that they’re moving away from in-person mustering.

Costa Venezia has arrived at the Navantia shipyard in Spain for her transformation into Carnival Venezia.
The ship will be part of Carnival’s new “Carnival Fun, Italian Style” product, which will mix the Italian features of the ship with some Carnival favorites like the Seafood Shack, Serenity sundeck, and WaterWorks aqua park. In dry dock, the ship will receive a new livery that mixes Carnival and Costa’s colors, including Costa’s bright yellow funnel.
In June, Carnival Venezia will begin sailing from New York City, operating voyages to the Caribbean, Bermuda, and Canada and New England.
