We were on the last cruise of the Ruby Princess to the Caribbean before she sailed to the Mediterranean on April 18, 2009. This is my third cruise and my husband's first.
Embarkment: Very easy and painless. We did have a bottle of wine in our suitcase and security did not care.
Formal Nights: Always done on the evening when we were at sea all day.
Large closet with plenty of hangers available with another small closet full of shelves from ceiling to floor. Bathroom with regular size tub. Great balconey overlooking the water. Our room was by the engine room. Your bed vibrates and you hear the low engine noise constantly. This did not bother us. Large couch and another sitting chair.
