A Muster Drill is a mandatory safety exercise conducted by the crew of a cruise ship to familiarize all passengers with the locations (muster stations) where they should go in the event of an emergency.
Man Overboard Procedure
In the event of a man overboard, the ship's crew follows a strict emergency protocol, which includes alerting the bridge, throwing a lifebuoy, mustering the rescue boat, and initiating a search and rescue operation.
General Emergency Alarm
The General Emergency Alarm consists of seven short blasts followed by one long blast on the ship's whistle and internal alarm system, signaling passengers and crew to go to their designated muster stations.
Fire Fighting Procedures
Fire Fighting Procedures on a cruise ship involve detecting the fire, raising the alarm, suppressing the fire using firefighting equipment and techniques, and evacuating the area if necessary.

The Abandon Ship Protocol is activated when the captain determines that the ship cannot be saved. Passengers and crew don life jackets and survival suits, board lifeboats and liferafts, and safely leave the ship.
Medical Emergency Response
The Medical Emergency Response includes the ship's medical facility activation, personnel trained in first aid and medical care procedures, and potential evacuation by helicopter if needed for serious cases.

Evacuation Slide Deployment
Evacuation Slide Deployment is part of the larger life-saving equipment procedures and involves the rapid and safe deployment of the ship's inflatable slides for passenger disembarkation during an abandon ship call.
