Add Holland-America Line, Charles. We have been on 9 HAL cruises so far
(10th departs in less than a month..... yippee!), and on all of them they
did a roll call by cabin number. Once, when we were doing back-to-back HAL
cruises, we skipped the 2nd lifeboat drill, and we received a REALLY snarky
letter in our cabin a couple of days later!
My recollection is that Orient Line did a roll call by cabin number as well.
