Oh, that is a terrible behaviour! He should have a hefty fine, charged with assault and banned from cruising again. Thank you, Jason!

[davemcduckful]

The bigger the ship, the bigger the logistic problems. Port facilities, embarkation and debarkation, port access, restocking and availability of ports to name a few.

"At what point do these ships become too big?" They already have.

[gailabert]

With more and more ports wanting to cut back on cruise passengers seems crazy to make more and more of those mega ships!… thanks for all the newsy videos! 😊

B - I’d wait until all the little challenges are ironed out.

[donnaschuepbach]

I'm SO glad to see your channel keeps growing!!!
POOR Sitka. They can't seem to catch a break.

[DoodieHutchison]

C—sort of. In 1983, we took our very first cruise on RC’s Song of America to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. SOA was brand new and had only sailed a couple of times before our trip. It was fabulous.

[guyparker]

have never sailed on an inaugural and don't really have a desire to. :) It's like the first computer program to come out from microsoft...wait for the updates. lol

[patticulver]

B. No, and I don’t plan on ever cruising on an inaugural cruise. I’d rather wait until the kinks are worked out!

[maxhuber]

My wife and I sailed on the inaugural sailing on the Princess Ruby. Service was very poor and no one seemed to know what they should be doing. I made a complaint about something and the reply was "Hey we're new, give us a break." Never again, no Princess or inaugural cruises.

[xkr]

They are already too big. I’ll never set foot on one. We’ll stick to Seabourn.

[FrancesErickson]

B- we don’t go on inaugural cruises because there are too many Issues need to be ironed out and you just don’t get the full experience of the cruise.

[bluesteel]

B. On our 25th anniversary we took a Panama Canal cruise on a ship that was celebrating its 25th anniversary. Pure coincidence. It was a Royal Caribbean ship that has long since been scrapped.
We just celebrated 55.

[laurensweeny]

A yes went on Eurodams . Several minor glitches but not enough to not go on another inaugural. Each of our ports on that trip had nice welcome event, a costumed group with a herald welcoming ceremony. We had a church open their community room with free cookies and lemonade. Several street corners of the port had young people playing a violin ( just to entertain not begging)

[lashawnw]

I've done a preview event. I was on the preview for Utopia of the Seas.

[miltongee]

B No. For 2 reasons.
First it is more expensive.
Second not everything is working or open.
For me I dont need to be on a brand new ship.
Thank you.

[deancollins]

A. Carnival Panorama December 2019. It was a wonderful cruise.

[kenyattaclay]

B-no. I don’t think I really want to ever go on an inaugural either. The way I look at it that first waking is like buying a new car in its first model year or first year of a new generation, there are always bugs & kinks that need to be worked out. Also, from what I’ve seen you pay a premium to be on that first sailing and the only real benefit is you get to say you were first but nothing really tangible.

[villageer]

B No! All of the ship facilities are not always fully functioning the first few cruises.
