Question Should safety information be required for LOB ads

[NothingClever]

I think the easiest way to determine whether you want to move forward with a reservation is by calling the LOB company and asking if the Captain and crew conduct safety drills with the customers before getting underway.

I could see a proficient, disciplined crew requiring the customers to go through a couple of iterations to get underneath a reasonable time standard.

I don't have any experience with this LOB company but the video inspires some degree of confidence. Unfortunately, it doesn't change the vessel is a similar four level design with a lot of the superstructure well above the waterline.

Look up their flag state, see what the requirements are for both intact and damage stability, then look up the approved route of the vessel. If the vessel has sufficient damage stability to account for the wind heel for 3 decks above the waterline, for the route they are on (typically oceans, but it could be protected waters), then some Naval Architect has already done the work.
