what do I expect from "try-out" cruises?

[RMac713]

We are doing both of the Ascent "try-out" cruises in November BTB.  I know they are not considered the maiden voyage, but will there be any merchandise involved about being the real first cruise?  I'm excited but I'm hoping there is at least some hoopla.

I wouldn’t consider them “try-out” cruises. These are publicly offered cruises for sale and are expected to be operated just like any other cruise. 
 

A lot of the staff will likely be coming from other Edge class ships and should be some of the best of the best. 
 

I wouldn’t expect too many hiccups on these. 
 

You might get some type of souvenir for the “inaugural season”.
