Hello friends. Just stopped by to share a few facts of ship life that are not generally discussed in the opening stages of the cruise jobs discussions for those of you who are planning on getting onboard for the first time. And it's about the "safety duties" aspect of the onboard life. As a cruise musician you are first and foremost a "crew member" which means you are a seafarer and as such you have certain safety duties to attend to that actually surpass your duties as a musician. There are a couple of motto's you will hear often such as "safety is first" and "safety is everybody's business", this is actually quite true, and to be mindful of our safety duties and general responsibilities onboard will make everyone's experience safer. Once onboard you will be given an "emergency card" that has your safety duties information such as your "emergency number", "instruction number", "emergency station number" and "Muster station number". If you wish I can elaborate on these terms and other information contained in the emergency card on a later post, but what made me want to post today is something called "inport manning duty" which for the first time I was assigned to recently. Every time the ship docks in a port the crew (depending on their work schedules) is allowed to get off ship and enjoy some time around the ports and/or cities the ship is visiting at any given time, but, there's a certain number of crew members that most remain onboard at all times when the ship is docked at port to manage any possible emergency events that may happen while in port. This means that if you emergency number is shown in the "inport manning list" you are not allowed to get off the ship at the port that said list specifies for you, even if you are "off duty" at your regular job. For instance, today we are at the port of Glasgow, Scotland, which I was very excited to get to walk around but while checking the inport manning list yesterday I noticed I would not be able to do🥺. All these information as I understand it is standard operation on all ships, however I have only worked with Royal Caribbean so I'm not sure about other companies, but here, you have a chance to "switch" your inport manning duty with another crew member that shares you same "instruction number" and, of course is willing to stay on ship instead of you. You have to arrange and process this "switch" with the pertinent managers onboard at least two days in advance, otherwise your request will be denied and you'll have to stay onboard for inport manning in the end. However this is something that is not very likely to happen often specially to us misicians, just once in a blue moon, as it just happened to me haha, but don't worry too much about it. Just thought I should share...Any way I hope this information is useful and clear enough 😄. That's all falks! Carry on.....
