We selected this cruise to celebrate my Granddaughter's 10th anniversary of her 1st cruise. Ten years ago we took her on the same itinerary same date range but on the Golden Princess. This time we sailed on the lovely Ruby Princess....she is a big ship and for the sailing we were on there were over 800 kids to teens. This was a larger number than the norm for Princess but the youth staff did a wonderful job.
Best embarkation I have ever had the pleasure of going through, and I have been cruising since the 70's. Our mini suite D510 was located mid ship on the Dolphin Deck. Our mini suite was ok, a little tight when using the sleeper sofa but suited our needs most of the time.
We had the best cabin attendant I have ever had. Mary is from the Philippines and was always smiling and working! She has been with Princess for many years and they are lucky to have her!
Cabin seemed on the small size for 3 people. With the hide a bed open it was difficult to go out to the balcony because of the coffee table. AC was not functioning well, temperature much nicer outside than in. Heavy duvet too heavy for the warm temperature of the room. No pillow menu and only 1 kind provided large and lumpy (I liked but hubby didn't). Best Stateroom Attendant every! Thank you Mary
