[Ally]

In a move that may well become common, a passenger was removed from their cruise aboard Westerdam after they refused to attend the muster drill.....

What are your thoughs about this...do you agree or disagree with HAL's stance?

The warning was given during the announcements and if the passenger or passengers refused to attend then I agree with the consequences. Seems harsh but these drills need to be taken seriously.

Wonder if they were tendered ashore?

I don't think they were tendered ashore, as the lifeboat drills here in the US are done before departure. I think HAL was in the right, lifeboat drills are there to remind us of what they are for; to save your life and others.

I know this is an older post but seeing I worked on cruise ships and know how important muster drills are I have no problem with someone being put off the ship for not particiating in the muster drill.

I saw this, when we were on the Volendam.
