This was our second time on Princess, but the first time on Ruby. We liked the design of the Diamond Princess more than Ruby, however it was certainly adequate. Overall we prefer to cruise on Celebrity Solstice class ships in Aquaclass which are superior in every category with food in the Specialty restaurants being a tie with Princess. Prior to our sailing on the Ruby we set our expectations accordingly. The Ruby had the itinerary we wanted plus we could use a ship credit from 2009 and the November 2011 birthday credit. We had also decided to disembark in Grand Turk prior to the sailing to spend a few days on Providenciales, which is 75 miles from Grand Turk.
Cabin Review
Balcony
A722 was located near the aft of the ship. Adequate size but the sacrifed cabin space for a larger closet area on the other side which I think was wasted space. Would have liked a larger room instead. TV is flat screen but very small and hard to see. Night table are a good size and have two drawers. Balcony was a good size but glass partition is high and once on the balcony you need to stand up to see over it.
