Ruby Princess Review

Additional details
The night before our cruise our cruise critic roll call enjoyed a great meet and greet dinner at Bimini Boatyard. It was a wonderful way to start the week! After dinner we walked down to Total Wine and Publix to load up on wine and munchies (yes I needed chips for the drunken munchies -- and I must say I'm thankful I had them after days of sipping rum by the pool!).
Embarkation -- Arrived at port at exactly 11 am and sailed through check-in. Escorted to Elite lounge where we had coffee and pastries before being called to board at exactly noon. We went straight to the MDR and had a nice salmon lunch with some of our new cruise critic roll call friends.
Stateroom -- D519 mini suite in a perfect midship location. Cabin was roomy and very quiet. I was concerned when I realized the stateroom directly across the hall slept four and sure enough, a family with two small children were staying there. Luckily, I never once heard noise coming from neither the hallway nor that cabin. The extra room was fabulous! I don't know how we could ever go back to NOT having a mini suite. I think the larger bathroom is the BEST thing about the mini suite.
Cabin Review
D519 was in a great location. We heard NO NOISE whatsoever in the halls or in the surrounding cabins at night or early morning with the exception of one day.
The morning we arrived at Princess Cays we heard a horrible loud engine sound directly outside our balcony. We discovered they were using one of the tenders that was located directly below our balcony. The noise lasted about 5 minutes.
Our suitcases fit under our bed, the bathroom and shower were large, the closet was large, the bathroom had lots of space to store my toiletries, and the sitting area was large and comfortable.
