Normal
The entire cruise is a Welcome Aboard Party. And don't worry too much about the muster drill. My friend and I sailed on the Fascination last year and were very concerned that this would cut into our partying time. It takes 30 - 45 minutes - and it is important - just in case. DON'T take your vest with you to any party though - its HUGE and extremly cumbersome. It'll only take you about 10 minutes or so to grab it from your room. Trust me, you'll have plenty of time.
