Ruby Princess Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We went on our very first cruise with Princess Cruise Lines aboard the Ruby Princess during the very first week of the 2013 year. We have cruised with many other cruise lines.
We complained the very first night about the A/C in our stateroom. For us, it's very difficult to sleep when the room is above seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit. Their lack luster response was pretty much "tough stuff" for the lack of better words. Our friends' staterooms were very comfortable. Our friends advised us to complain again and again. We endured the "not so cool" A/C for seven very warm nights. It's very hard to enjoy yourself during the day when you cannot rest at night. We emailed Princess and asked to be sent a cruise survey. We never received one. I suppose they already knew what we were going to say and didn't want any negative comments directed their way.
The food in the dining rooms and buffet were only "so-so". Not really good, but not terribly bad. But, not what you would expect on a cruise. Many of the food selections stayed on the menu night after night. It was very difficult to find fresh fruit that was worth eating.
Cabin Review
The cabin was was quiet and spacious. However, the A/C left much to be desired. We complained the very first night about the A/C in our stateroom. For us, it's very difficult to sleep when the room is above seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit. Their lack luster response was pretty much "tough stuff" for the lack of better words. Our friends' staterooms were very comfortable. Our friends advised us to complain again and again which we did. We endured the "not so cool" A/C for seven very warm nights. The heat in our stateroom put a damper on all other aspects of the cruise. It's very hard to enjoy yourself during the day when you cannot rest at night.
