Sail Date: Mar 2013

First time cruising on the Princess line so I decided to go with my friend on their newest ship, the Ruby Princess. This was my lucky 13th cruise. Here are a few of my impressions:

Embarkation: Total chaos. Neither definable lines nor instructions issued by Princess port personnel. My friend decided rather than join the mass of people, we would sit down until the terminal was almost empty then get on board -- finally around 3:30 PM (we arrived at the terminal at 1:00 PM thinking there wouldn't be a crowd). We both concluded this was a one off situation and were pleased that Princess acted speedily to sanitize the ship.

Cabin: Was located on the Emerald deck forward. For being an "obstructed view", there was IMO no obstruction -- window view was beautiful. Cabin steward, Georgy, was attentive and kept the ice bucket filled plus the extra towels requested were available.

Cabin Review

Cabin felt smaller than previous cruise ships; not enough drawer space. Bathroom was also a bit smaller but I liked that you could put the cosmetic bag under the sink. Big plus: closet was very roomy. And a major plus: the refrigerator was great-our water and soda actually got cold not lukewarm.
