Cruise ships are considered one of the safest means of transportation, designed to withstand all kinds of mishaps on the high seas. However, as with any mode of transportation, there is the remote possibility of an accident, which is why the crew of a cruise ship receives extensive training to handle an evacuation.
The YouTuber Luli, known as Luli de los Cruceros, has spoken on this topic on her channel with almost 60,000 subscribers. In one of her latest videos, the young woman explains the operation of the safety protocols on board, recounting her experience as a photographer on different vessels and describing in detail the evacuation procedures.
As Luli explains, “ships are like a floating city” in which everything is carefully calculated to react to any emergency. Ensures that personnel on board receive extensive training to deal with different situations, from fires to a complete evacuation of the ship. “The crew knows exactly where they should be and what they should do in an emergency,” he adds.
For Luli, one of the most curious aspects of the drills is the use of a “vertical slide” to evacuate the crew in emergencies. This system, known as the “marine evacuation system,” allows crew members to quickly descend safely into the water. “It is an effective way to evacuate many people in a short time and safely,” he says.
Weekly drills are held
In addition, cruise ships carry out weekly drills that involve the entire crew, preparing them for different scenarios, from fire outbreaks to external threats. Luli insists on the importance of these regular exercises, pointing out that “It is essential to be prepared” so that any member of the crew knows how to act quickly in the event of an accident.
The photographer also reveals details about her own role in the event of an evacuation. “My temergency card It indicates exactly what I should do if I evacuate, including the boat or raft where I should be,” he explains.
Although the chances of a sinking or accident are minimal, preparation and coordination are essential when cruising. According to Luli, these trainings ensure that the crew remains in a constant state of alert and knows how to act to protect passengers and themselves in the event of any eventuality.
