In the newspaper article I read in the Philadelphia Inquirer this morning a Costa hostess said that they only have the muster drills every 15 days; therefore, depending on when passengers board they may miss the drills. Apparently the crew also has infrequent drills. Is that ever scary!

It also said that there may have been both a power failure and a failure of the back-up system. Pretty incredible in today's world of technology.

Interesting to note that Costa is owned by Carnival.
