Muster drill

Muster drill is like a practice session that takes place on big boats or ships to teach people what to do in case of an emergency. It's like a pretend game where everyone learns how to stay safe and what to do if something goes wrong while they are on the ship.

During muster drill, the crew members of the ship will show you where to go if there is an emergency. They will teach you how to wear a life jacket properly and tell you about the emergency signal which is an important sound or announcement that everyone needs to know.

They will also tell you where to go on the ship to meet up with your family or group of friends in case there is an emergency. This is called a muster station. The crew members will show you the route for getting to your muster station and how to get there safely.

Muster drill is important because it helps to ensure that everyone on the ship is safe and prepared for any emergency situation that might happen. So remember, when you are on a cruise or big ship, always listen carefully during the muster drill, and know the safety rules so you can be safe and prepared in case of any emergency.
