There are two life boats on board (which is good to know). If you want to learn some proper ship terminology, one life boat is on the port (left) side of the ship, and another on the starboard (right) side. Yesterday we went through the whole emergency drill, beginning with the ship’s horn sounding the emergency signal: 7 short blasts followed by 1 long blast. We all had to get our life jacket from our cabins, make sure we had their boots, coats, hats, etc, and get to our designated meet-up location under the life boats (each person was previously assigned port or starboard side) for roll call. That’s the last time I hope to think about life jackets…
