alan asked me is it worth going on a
0:01
maiden voyage there are four reasons i
0:03
never go on a maiden voyage but there is
0:07
big reason that you should consider it
0:10
first of all price maiden voyages are
0:13
often at a hefty premium because they
0:15
are very much in demand second in recent
0:18
years we've seen many cruise lines
0:20
having to cancel maiden voyages because
0:22
the ship is just not ready thirdly on
0:25
the few maiden voyages i actually did go
0:27
on i realized that you do hit problems
0:29
they've always had workmen on board or
0:31
the systems haven't been working
0:33
completely well because they haven't
0:34
bedded in the crew haven't gelled as one
0:37
effective working team and often those
0:39
issues they discover that need to get
0:41
fixed another key reason is often the
0:43
ship will be packed full with
0:44
celebrities and other people the cruise
0:46
line have invited there could be many
0:48
private events which means venues are
0:50
closed and you as a paying passenger
0:51
don't get access to the only reason to
0:53
go on a main voyage in my view is if you
0:55
want the bragging rights to have been
0:57
the very first paying passengers on
