Ruby Princess was nice. All but one staff was friendly and helpful. Food was good for the most part. Wish they (and all cruise ships) made "American taste" pastries. Most are more "European" and not sweet enough or enough flavor. I understand they are cooking for more "seasoned - aged) passengers, but need more flavor in most meals. Example: if it says lime, you should taste more then a tiny hint of lime. But that said, we really can't complain too much.
LOVED the new Princess beds. They were pretty cool during the ruff seas the last few days. Allowed you to catch some negative G's on the roll of the waves!! LOL! We enjoyed that! Slept well on the new beds. The ship was clean, in good repair, more so than another cruise ship I was on. Heard some say they had plumbing issues, but we didn't. Felt they closed and covered the pools too early, would have loved to swim at night.
Had so much fun on our excursions. Swimming with the whale sharks was awesome! Saw lots of whales, dolphins, a few stingrays, seals, and other fun animals.
Cabin was pretty nice, clean and in good repair. Large balcony which we enjoyed often. Bed was nice.
Easy transfer and Embarkation
Toured the USS Midway. Very interesting.
Very good price, went whale watching, and snorkeling. Saw several whales including a mom with baby. Snorkeling was just so-so, but still had fun. CaboSails provided a really nice spread of food and drinks. Would use them again anytime.
If you get the chance to swim with the Whale Sharks, DO IT!!!! Awesome. SunRiders worked hard to make sure all had a good experience and saw the whale sharks. They care about the Whale Sharks and make sure everyone including the WS are safe. Would use this outfit again.
Great tequila tasting, wonder folkloric show, and great beach side lunch. enjoyed
