Crew Workers Speak In Code
For the important reason of not alarming all the passengers when crew members have to get a message around themselves, they use a code. Guests who have come on a cruise for a holiday don’t want to be alerted to every emergency, minor or major. Imagine the kind of chaos that could erupt if every passenger was alerted to the occurrence of a small fire somewhere on the ship? For this reason, crew members can announce certain codes without frightening or panicking passengers. For example: “Code Adam” means a child is missing, “Code Alpha” means there’s a medical emergency, “Code Oscar” means someone fell overboard, and “Code Bravo” means there’s a fire on the ship. Pictured above is a case of a “Code Bravo” when the Star Princess cruise ship caught on fire in the middle of the night in 2006. The fire is thought to have been started with a discarded smoldering cigarette.
