Loading 150 Persons in a Lifeboat on a Cruise Ship

[@lothean2099]

Had this been an real emergency...well we know how people act when they panic.

[@dogeify1383]

@@dominicC1964 why would you put people in risk and let people die just because of COVID 19? Half the life boat? People would die on the ship 🤦‍♂️ you ignorant piece of shit.

I would push women and children out of my way as I run to safety

[@MH-ms1dg]

I want to believe that more people now are way braver and levelheaded to be in crises situations

[@judieg.7945]

I'm sure no one is claustrophobic, didn't know I was until I watched this. Thanks, glad they can keep people safe.

[@joseluismontoro8109]

Its amazing how a tiny lifeboat can carry hundreds of persons

[@UCeddWhat]

Lifeboats are massive in person

[@GetWellSoonR.E.M.]

They’re much bigger than they look 😅

[@rjm789]

Looks like a nightmare how close the people are packed in! I’ve done cruises before but I think I’m done now…

[@UCeddWhat]

This was the deal breaker? lol

[@ordersquid38]

Bruh chill out lmao, unless you’re on a really shady cruise liner this will almost never happen.

[@Trainlover1995]

I went in a lifeboat once. The Dawn Princess (now Pacific Explorer) was using a few as tenders in Ketchikan, Alaska because every other berth in town was taken by other ships (Golden Princess, Oosterdam, and Statendam are the ones I remember being in port that day; we also encountered the Coral Princess, I think, and the Ryndam in Juneau, and the Ryndam followed us to Skagway).

[@grahambunton377]

It looks a bit crowded, even claustrophobic, and that is with 150 passengers. The Symphony of the Seas has lifeboats that take 370 passengers. But only enough for 6660 people. the other 2220 have to slide down 50 feet into an inflatable lifeboat. It makes my camping holiday look quite appealing.

[@pclarkey1988]

YES BUT THOSE ARE FOR CREW. Guests don't go into the inflatables.

[@karagregory69]

If you prefer you can stay on a sinking ship if you feel a life threatening emergency is inconvenient. These are to save your life, nobody said it would be comfortable.

[@jackjohnson6884]

the crew will probably just take lifeboats for themselves. They often do thing like that

[@brontewcat]

@@pclarkey1988 Umm. Those chutes are dangerous- does it not worry you that the company is not providing safe evacuation for the crew

[@ItsJustJayla]

Was just wondering this lol thanks

[@kimberlydymek181]

Imagine how hot it is in there

[@jeronwhite3113]

Before I get in that life boat I’ll have to take me a few shots of alcohol.

[@gmbh8443]

Lmao

[@maxasaurus3008]

Jeez I foresee a mutiny almost immediately 😂

[@danopticon]

That is cramped! I can see why shipwreck survivors resort to cannibalism so quickly.

[@dudestir127]

Do all ships do this with the lifeboat already in the water? I thought part of the test was to certify that the boat was sturdy enough to hold a full load while suspended, and that the davits can hold a fully loaded lifeboat (two concerns the officers had on the Titanic while it was sinking).

[@AlistairBaillie]

All cruise lines which are members of CLIA will carry this exercise out at least once every 6 months - the purpose is to prove that the boat is capable of holding the number of persons it is certified for (in this case 150)... Lifeboats are only launched with minimum operating crew for safety reasons; the davits and fall wires are subject to 1.1 load testing every 5 years (loading with weights to 110% the maximum weight of a fully loaded boat). A dynamic load test with an empty boat is carried out annually.

[@kimberlydymek181]

I don't think they would use people as test subjects. There are dummies for that. It's more like a rehearsal and procedure on how to get them in I think.

[@surfndeeez]

Imagine the smell in that thing after a few days lost at sea?

[@DaddysFastestSwimmer]

These things are motorized with gps. Theyll be picked up in hours.

[@gmbh8443]

Omg dont imagine me that...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@sonder3519]

Imagine if they have to board the lifeboat after everybody ate a high protein meal.

[@gmbh8443]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Kamelhaj]

Where's the bathroom?

[@bugsycline3798]

thats what the floor is for... if you are deploying on a life boat, you are lucky and thankful to pee on the floor. It beats drowning. and rest assured you're not more than a couple hours from rescue

[@thefamilycircuss]

I wonder that all the time

[@dudestir127]

The wide open ocean surrounding the boat.

[@velocicraig4320]

welp diapers time

[@harleyokeefe5193]

Bugsy Cline not the floor they do it overboard you donkey

[@JACKTHEDRAGONOKEEFFE]

Can everybody else please get off the lifeboat? I need my personal space.

[@gmbh8443]

Ye... me2...(not corona related ...) 😂😂

[@nick012n]

That girl really likes tugging on her ear lmao

[@marvffin1677]

Show this video to people who compare technologically advanced cruise ships to a old unsafe ship that sunk 100 years ago

[@haycockjeff]

What matters is can the boats be filled before the ship sinks.

[@boohoo4416]

It's hard to see but are the sides & roof open to the elements?

[@AlistairBaillie]

It’s classed as a “partially enclosed” lifeboat, which just means it has a solid roof but large “doors” on the sides which are covered by heavy canvas flaps. In the video there open so that air flows though otherwise with 150 people it becomes very hot and very uncomfortable very quickly :)

[@gmbh8443]

How dare you not to know anything about LifeBoats 😡

[@dryflyman7121]

Love the sitting on the floor bit, just a great target for someone to throw up all over you 😂😂

[@alan_decker]

That music though. Not the right one..

[@heartmind6373]

How do they pee or go to the toilet?

[@scottcol23]

Isn't it weird that ships the size of these life boat, have life boats of their own, so I wonder if these life boats have lifeboats . Lol

[@LaneseQueensNY]

This is not for plus size people

[@nonirosie]

I presume they'd put plus size people in a row with children to balance it out

[@Trains_n_stuff08]

But why though?

[@cybercityoedo808]

This is great and all... but where can I poop? 😆💩

[@RJB1218]

😂😂😂😂

[@ThomasGrillo]

I would not want to be the unlucky person who has to sit on the lower level. LOL They gotta send these lifeboats back to the drawing boards. Just sayin'. ;)

[@jaxbirtles2060]

I'd die of claustrophobia!!!

[@Tani0415]

...but will you have the luxury of time?!

[@alaskacosplay]

Shouldnt it be women and children first then followed by men? Goodness that lifeboat is crowded.

[@zacherykissoon]

I would sit on the outside and steal everyone's food rations that is under the seats

[@gmbh8443]

Me Lmao 😉

[@gmbh8443]

I waaaaant to try that... but alone with no other passengers... Cuz if there are.. i go die 😊 Cuz.. i haaaaaaaaaaaaaate noises from other

[@chewar7537]

That is a nightmare!!! No way I would ever get on a ship, let alone one of those small lifeboats!

[@topshotttadrillsum8872]

This wouldn’t be so great being this close next too someone with COVID-19

[@thefoftheg9134]

What cruise ship is this ?

[@AlistairBaillie]

Marella Discovery

[@yoube449]

WOW!

[@ilikeliving688]

The ship would have already sunk before they filled the boat

[@seankeyes9178]

It's not person's it's people

[@ordersquid38]

Persons is a term used instead of people sometimes, have you not seen it on like, elevators before

[@PIPERBOYWILLIAMS]

In real life they wouldn’t let men get in

[@ramblingrob4693]

Yes they would, this isn't 1900's

[@stafonvoncamron]

In real life they would have to separate gender ( man and women) to their own boats, because of no privacy or bathrooms if you needed to do a #1 or #2.

[@davidhampton180]

Are barmy or what?
