Would you cruise on a maiden voyage or right after drydock

[kitty9]

I most certainly would especially after my experience on the maiden of the Crystal Serenity. Two weeks before we were to depart on the maiden voyage out of London, everyone received a Fed Ex letter saying that the ship needed to go back to drydock to repair the engines (those darn azipods). Even though the ship was completely finished, not everything had arrived on time, such as some glassware, the Do Not Disturb Signs and some things for the shops. Everyone was given a choice---cancel the trip and receive a full refund, or stay on the cruise and still get the refund. A no brainer here. It was a great cruise and all my friends who didn't book the cruise because they were apprehensive about maiden voyages, were madder than heck. There's nothing better than a free two week cruise on Crystal.
