A couple of hours south from Bucharest we arrived at the Danube to board our ship, the Avalon Imagery.
The first order of business is to meet the crew and the other passengers, and then to talk about safety measures. After some speeches by the cruise director and the captain and crew, we had a tailgate safety session.
They told us about emergency procedures, where the muster stations are, and what the options are. Since we are on a river, the shore is always close by, and in many cases the Danube is not very deep, relatively speaking. Maggie enthusiastically volunteered to help out with the life vest demonstration. But they told us the biggest danger on board a river cruise ship is fire. More than 200 people are on board, gangways are tight, and passageways are clogged. I saw many reminders throughout the trip of the fear of fire.
