Additional details
We booked the Ruby for 4 consecutive cruises, a 5, 4, 5, 5 day, and the first 3 were fine.
Feb 15 Pre-Cruise and Embarkation: We got a great deal for secure parking at the Embassy Suites on 17th street - 1/2 the price of parking at the port - and took the free shuttle to the ship. Embarkation was painless - we have preferred boarding and walked right on.
CABIN: Luggage was delivered very quickly and we unpacked to settle into our 19 day vacation. Typical inferior cabin. Room steward was very nice, & got us a pillow top mattress cover. Several times we did not get a daily "Patter" and had to go to the Pursers desk to get one - pretty inconvenient if you are trying to plan your day in the morning. But As I said the first 3 legs were fine, I will concentrate on the last cruise starting March 1:
Cabin Review
We are "aft dwellers" so this was convenient - 5 steps up to the pool and another couple up to Outriggers & Horizon Court. You do get noise & vibration when they turn on the thrusters early in the morning while docking, but the whole aft area gets that same noise. We spent 19 days in this typical interior cabin and I was fine with it, but would probably spring for a balcony if I did a cruise for this long again.
