Nightmare at sea

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Ruby Princess

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

I have cruised many times, and this was my first and LAST Princess cruise. The ship was filthy, mold everywhere including in the toilet in our cabin. Service was non-existent, food was mediocre on a good day. Reservations were not honored, so we mainly ate pizza and soft serve ice cream for 10 days. Buckets were in hallways catching drips, auto doors slammed open and shut all day. Talent was ...

Much needed break for the holiday. Embarkation at Port Everglades was pretty smooth-20 minutes from Arrival to on the ship. The Ruby had just been fixed up in dry dock. She looks good for a 2008 Grand girl. It was really good to be back at sea. We used the Princess Plus package which was a nice option for trying drinks, I normally wouldn't have ordered. The package includes specialty ...

We cruised from Ft. Lauderdale to Panama Canal and back to Ft. Lauderdale. The embarkation was very easy and smooth. No complaints about that. We had stops in Montego Bay, Cartagena, Limon and Grand Cayman. We could have skipped Montego Bay and Cartagena. The guide on the excursion in Montego Bay just spoke about the poverty on the island. Not what we were looking for. Cartagena excursion ...

We had sailed on the Ruby the previous October so we were in a position to make some comparisons on changes Princess have made. First thing to say are that the staff are incredible. Everyone greets you with a beaming smile and treats you as if you are their only customer. Special mention to the two bartenders in Explorer lounge Val and Christian, Derek and the Phillipino trio in Vines, and ...

This was our 37th cruise; we are Diamond elite or above on Princess, Cunard, RCCL, Celebrity and Silver Sea. I did not realize this was the first sailing since the ship was in dry dock following running into the pier earlier in 2023. The public spaces were not refurbished much, new carpet and bedding in some areas and cabins, and adding a video arcade for children in the casiono were all we ...

Ruby Princess needs a complete overhaul of her plumbing etc. There were extensive problems with toilets not working, flooding in some cabins and even the kitchen got flooded. There was a fire in the crew area on the last night as well as a sudden listing to one side. Several people were picked up by ambulances when we got to Ft Lauderdale in the morning. Don't know what that was related ...

We choose Princess because it sailed out of San Francisco. We were able to take the Amtrac train out of Fresno, CA at 6:00 AM and were in front of the Buffet at 11:30 AM. Embarkation was the easiest of all our cruises. Luggage taken right from the Uber along the curbside. Every sea day was a hour practice on the steel drums for 30 shipmates. Leader of the drums, Wilson, was great. Much ...

Terrible ship and crew

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Ruby Princess

2-5 Cruises • Age 30s

We sailed to Alaska on the Ruby Princess and it was one of the worst trips of our lives. Our stateroom was directly across from a crew service area, and four days into our trip, a pipe in that service area began leaking water into our room. We noticed the wet carpet before leaving on an excursion and notified guest services. When we opened the door to our stateroom in the evening, we were met with ...

10 Day Alaska

The first cruise we ever took was on the old Dawn Priincess, So Princess has a special place in our hearts. For that reason it hurts to see how far they have slipped in quality. This 10 day cruise had perhaps the worst entertainment we have ever seen. From a female comedian who was terrible--an impersonator who wasen't even close. One "showroom" star was a guy who had been performing in the lounge ...

We chose Princess Ruby because it sails from San Fransisco. We liked many activities and entertainment. But very disappointed that it has very limited Asian food that you can only find in buffet area. Even the limited Asian food tended to be Indian food or Tai food. The bar quality are not consistent. Sometime are strong while other time are week. Coffee some time are stale while other times ...
