The Lifeboat Drill
At 10:30 they called the whole ship together with their life jackets to the Muster Stations for the obligatory lifeboat drill. Yes everyone had to stand around for about 20 minutes dressed like prats in orange polystyrene filled jackets.
Pin was the first to find her whistle, and soon everyone was blowing theirs too until they told us off and told us to stop blowing them. We had to stand there and wait for the captain to walk past and inspect everyone.
After the drill, we went into the Regency Showroom for the welcome meeting and port showcase where we met the Destination Services Team and learned about the excursions that we could book for our various ports of call. Pin and I had already decided in advance to do the Athens trip, but Pin had second thoughts about accompanying me up the volcano on Santorini - so she booked a trip to Oia village instead which involved a visit to a winery.
