We were late...late flight...embarking once and the drill was going on as we
boarded. We got a note under the door that we needed to meet somewhere for
the drill....this was a couple days into the cruise. I forgot about it, but
really didnt plan to go anyhow and I never heard anything. This was pre-9/11
on NCL
