We had great flying weather and arrived in Fort Lauderdale early -- great hotel, DoubleTree Galleria, would highly recommend it. Of course it was chilly in Florida and this did not bode well for the remainder of our vacation - we had poor weather all but 1 or 2 days. Princess Cays was cancelled altogether due to weather and our excursion in St Maarten was also cancelled -- of course we were not charged for those booked excursions.
We were not entirely satisfied with the Ruby Princess - after a thorough ranking of all elements, it is about a 6 in our books. It is a bunch of small things that would deter us from a Princess cruise in the future, not any one bad thing:
Embarkation: 10 - so easy and organized and very fast
Cabin L201 Good location, secret door to rarely used deck below the bridge, also close to unmarked door entry to the spa (across from cabin L210) so you can go directly into the Thermal Suite, balcony small and no glass panel so NO view on balcony.
