Chose the cruise as part of our 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Princess staff graciously met us at LAX and settled us in a taxi for the ride to Long Beach for a pre-cruise overnight in the Long Beach Hyatt. Good comfortable accommodations, helpful staff and located convenient to walking around a harbor and downtown. Transport to San Pedro port and Princess embarkation were excellent. We had ...
Wanted to go to Hawaii with our granddaughters. This is our third cruise on the Ruby and I have to say since our last cruise on Princess, the food has returned to it’s past excellence. The MDR staff we had were exceptional. Not sure if this was because we had the girls with us or not, but we had amazing service. This is the first time we had come in contact with the kids program and both ...
I wanted to see Hawaii. Husband does not like to fly, and this was a round trip Los Angeles.
Embarkation was a breeze (got there at noon). We ususally do not check our bags and just carry them on ourselves. Usually going at this time,vwe only need to wait a few minutes and can drop the bags off in our rooms.
First time on Princess - loved it! First time on long sea days, loved it! Seas were ...
We chose this cruise because it was pretty cheap and embarked from the west coast. We love cruises that are more than 7 days. Hadn't been to Hawaii in a few years. When we cruise we're essentially onboard for the boat ride, we don't spend hardly anything onboard... we like to go cheap and go a lot. We are Elite level cruisers on Princess, Royal and Celebrity.
OK, Ruby Princess ...
Arrived day prior to sailing and stayed at the Best Western, San Pedro. Great accommodations. Free shuttle to port next morning. Arrived at 11:00am and after clearing boarding formalities we were in the buffet enjoying lunch by 11:45am. Luggage in cabin at 1:00pm.

Food and selection choice was good. Did ...
We didn't get a chance to explore LA not enough time the arrangement were great.
The best part was the embarkation and disembarkation process was smooth it was about 30 mins off however smooth in total.
The Ship, the Cabins & Dining area were very clear and everyone was very polite and courteous waiting on us for our every need.
We only made it to about 2 Entertainment shows our time was ...
We have gone to Hawaii on Princess before and had a great experience. We wanted to go again and explore more.
We had Princess arrange our flight and travel to the ship. This went very smoothly. We did wait at the airport for about 1 hour because our flight arrived at approximately 10:00 a.m and embarkation was not until 1:00 supposedly.
When we arrived at the Embarkation facility, it was ...
I did this cruise 2 years ago and had a great time. This time everything was changed.
They said the ship was newly renovated but what they really did was add 100 staterooms. The result was less seating on the promenade deck inside. They also changed the menu which affected the dining rooms and the buffet. The quality took a dive with a less appealing menu and an addition of things like ...
No Airplanes , stateroom great , Glen did a beautiful job. Beds great
Bathroom and services were Excellent .
I was in a suite and it was as usual excellent with water, ice ,fruit , canapés, kept full at all times . If we needed anything extra all we had to do was ask. no problems with anything in suite R 410 . I had seen many negative reports , that were not true.
they did a complete ...
From the time we got to the port, checked in, went through security and boarded the ship, to the 15 days onboard and the disembarkation, everyone was friendly,helpful and made it very easy for us as first time cruisers. The variety of food offered in the buffet was great, and while there were a few options that were over cooked, they were far and few between. The bar personnel were beyond great, ...
