Send us Fan MailBooking to go on a cruises Maiden voyage use to be a bucket list for many cruisers, but since 2020, so many of these first (or first few) cruises are having major issues. From entertainment and restaurants not being ready, to unfinished construction work, and even engine problems; and in Episode 29 of the Suite Natured Cruise Cast, we ask, "Is A Maiden Voyage Just Too Risky?"We talk about our own experiences aboard maiden voyages, as well as looking at other more recent challenges with delays and problems such as NCL Aqua, Cunards' Queen Anne and Virgin Voyages Brilliant Lady. We also give our thoughts on a few of the recent cruise news stories and have a bit of a saucy confession from one of our listeners/watchers, which sparks an interesting conversation about Late Night Linzi!If you enjoyed this episode please consider supporting the channel via our YouTube Membership https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNaAHapT85jdtLYwrJhFsCw/joinAnd please consider subscribing to the channel https://youtube.com/c/suitenatured to keep up to date with all our latest videos, podcasts and live streamsCheers, and have a lovely dayLinzi & MarkChapters00:00 Introduction to Maiden Voyages01:34 Defining Maiden Voyages02:25 Recent Problematic Maiden Voyages05:59 Challenges Faced by New Ships09:39 Pros and Cons of Booking a Maiden Voyage18:07 Unique Experiences on Maiden Voyages20:55 Tips for Booking a Maiden Voyage23:20 Cruise Confessions and Stories28:15 Cruise News and UpdatesSupport the showIf you enjoyed this episode please consider supporting the channel via our YouTube Membership https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNaAHapT85jdtLYwrJhFsCw/joinAnd please consider subscribing to the channel https://youtube.com/c/suitenatured to keep up to date with all our latest videos, podcasts and live streamsTune into the Suite Natured cruise cast for the latest cruise updates, personal experiences, and cruising news, all recorded live and unedited.Cheers, and have a lovely dayLinzi & Mark
