Background

Having been married on the Caribbean Princess four years ago and spending our first anniversary cruise there as well, this was our first voyage back to Princess,  having enjoyed the Celebrity Millennium and the Celebrity Solstice in the interim. We live in South Florida so hotels were not necessary and family members dropped us at the port the day of the cruise. A little further background on preparations for the trip; we have found it very beneficial to become involved in the Cruise Critic boards as we did again this year, and were very glad that we did. Our official March 20-30 Ruby Cruise group name was the "Jewels of the Ruby Princess" or "Ruby Cruisers" having over 120 on our roll call and over 100 active on our website, we became friends with each other even before the cruise. The web site gave us a chance to put a face with a name, small bios on each member, and a list of excursions each person was taking on each island. A few of had sailed together previously before although the majority were about to meet a whole new group of friends!
