We were delighted to do round trip cruise out of San Pedro but disappointed in changes since our last princess cruise.

We either book mini suites or the Caribe deck for its large balcony. The Ruby was refurbished and loved the new large screen tv and on demand. We hated that there was only one desk chair in a balcony room and no longer a padded comfortable chair. Two passengers in a room where are we supposed to sit? One of us would sit or lie on bed and other at desk. Really Princess two passengers and one chair. We noticed our elite gift bag was missing some of the usual toiletries like hair conditioner and room mist. Our cabin steward was excellent and kept ice in refrigerator two times a day. Our cabin was cleaned and serviced twice a day and he was eager to please.

We saw lots of cutbacks in food selection and quality. Butter had to be requested in dining room for rolls. Same choices over and over in buffet. Steaks have a charge now in regular dining room. Pizza was outstanding on pool deck. Read more
