Restaurants: Princess offers a buffet, dining rooms, and various eateries for free. The food was always very good imo, but each place was always too crowded for being in a pandemic. The buffet is self serve, and no, you do not need to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before entering. I saw a woman lick soup off her finger, and then continue using the serving spoons. The buffet line was always ...
We chose this cruise knowing that we wanted to go to Alaska (specifically these ports: Skagway, Ketchikan) and wanted to leave out of San Francisco. It was a great cruise with a great crew. Customer service was outstanding and the experience was great. We love the Medallion app except when you have to continue to reset it. Other than that and a slow internet, we can Highly recommend the ...
10-day round trip from San Francisco to Alaska. It’s our favorite cruise. Highly recommend it! For us, don’t have to fly anywhere, three days more at sea rather than flying. I’ve recommended it to people that would need to fly to the cruise ship anyway and told them to spend time in San Francisco and/of California.
Princess is the only cruise line cruising out of San Francisco. This cruise is ...
Alaska has always been on my bucket list and this seemed like the perfect time to go. The ship is beautiful , the food is plentiful and the staff is the best of the best. There were a few hiccups during embarkation but once we boarded the ship our adventure began. Ranger John is fantastic and his presentations were so informative, from whales to bears to volcanos he has experienced it all. ...
SF to Alaska and lose 10 pounds with no workouts? YES! It's the norm for the Ruby Princess. Go on the Ruby Princess and you will never ever ever gain weight while sailing. I'm so sorry if you liked the food on the Ruby, something is wrong with your pallet. I'm not a food snob and would have paid extra for a Whopper or Jack in the Box taco by the end of the cruise. Yet, sadly, JNB and ...
What a way to get back to cruising!! Ruby was wonderful. This is our 3rd Princess Cruise and was a similar experience as our previous 2, Grand and Star with one exception, Medallion cruising now. Staff was incredible, so welcoming and so attentive. Daniel and Yitzak in the Michelangelo dining room, Jeffrey and Wilson in the DaVinci Dining room were superb. Food was very good, never had any ...
My parents wanted to see Alaska and I love ocean cruises!! Everything on the boat was great!! The food was great!! Rooms were nice!! The internet connection was so slo at times!! I love going up to horizon court to have a snack late at night!! My parents and my aunt and my uncle zipped lined as one of their excursions!! Getting to the port to get on the ship was easier than flying which we did in ...
Planning for cruise was easy, except for paperwork to get for covid (holiday weekend) and Canada immigration, was time communing and never asked for. Weekend covid testing was hard to fine in time frame to get on ship. Once in the cabin luggage delivery was good, cabin steward was very helpful, friendly. Dining experience was good, except for several flying INSECTS around and on my baked potato, ...
We chose this ship because it left from San Francisco which worked in well with our trip to the US.
Embarking was delayed due to a gangplank issue but it was orderly and we waited maybe an hour or so. We didn’t care because we were excited to do a cruise again after 4 years. We enjoyed the food. We ate our evening meals in the dining room and never had to wait to get in, even when we hadn’t ...
Medallion system was often fun and often difficult to use. Getting it set up I had to call Princess to walk me through. Princess should supply written instructions.I never did figure out how to use the phone app.
I chose this cruise to Alaska because it was round trip San Francisco and I'm too lazy to fly to a ship. Food in dining room has improved since our last Princess cruise: more ...
