What must passengers do during a departure delay?

Passengers must follow the captain's orders regarding safety and onboard rules during a departure delay to ensure their safety and the safety of the crew. The captain is responsible for the vessel and its passengers, and their directives are in place to manage any situation that arises effectively. Adhering to these orders helps maintain order and ensures that all safety protocols are followed, especially when facing unforeseen delays that could affect the voyage's timeline or safety.

While it may seem appealing for passengers to explore nearby areas or voice complaints about delays, doing so could lead to safety hazards and disrupt the orderly management of the ship. The captain's orders are designed to minimize risks and ensure that all passengers are accounted for and protected until the situation resolves.
