Ruby Princess Review

Additional details
A fortuitous break in schedules allowed us to jump aboard within 2 weeks of sailing. We haven't cruised on Princess in quite some time (not due to any reason other than we cruised on other lines) and this 10 day itinerary included the ports of La Paz and Loreto, both of which we hadn't yet seen. Our Elite level folks joined us as well.
We left the day before the cruise and stayed at the Doubletree (park&cruise). It was fine, if a bit pricey. Embarkation took about 2 hours and we had to wait in a rather stuffy facility with a lot of other folks, waiting.
Once aboard, we headed to our cabin, Emerald 633. Booked as an obstructed ocean-view, we were pleasantly surprised to find an obstruction-free view. The stateroom was quite roomy and conveniently located close to the aft elevators. Our attendant Lowrence was friendly, professional and took care of all our requests.

Our first time here and a very nice town to explore. Nice people, good food.
