1-10 of 102 Princess Ruby Princess Cruise Reviews for Romantic to Hawaii
We have sailed with Princess in the past and were anxious to get back on board. We left San Francisco rather late (not sure what the holdup was), burt experienced going under the Golden Gate Bridge at twilight! How crazy was that! Then it was off into the wild blue seas, which got my husband completely seasick for the next two days.
Regardless, the Medallion system worked great, although I ...
I'm not sure what happened to the Ruby since I cruised on her in July of 2022, but something sure changed.
Dining:
Crown Grill: We ate there 2 times, and the first time I ordered the Filet Med Rare - It was the toughest piece of meat I've ever eaten......tasted like a cheap piece of sirloin steak. It was cooked perfectly, but man was it tough. The 2nd time I ordered the Porterhouse ...
We chose this cruise because we have sailed to Hawaii five times previously and we love all the sea days. It is also a great way to get a taste of the islands: Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii. As an added bonus, our favorite Hawaiian ambassadors Brian and Rowena Vasquez were onboard, teaching ukulele, hula and a wide variety of Hawaiian-themed crafts. They embody the Spirit of Aloha and really ...
Great cruise experience. Helped by great weather. Were able to sunbathe for all but the last day.
Despite embarcation being at the old pier we found it seamless and worth the effort on the app up front.
The app and wifi worked perfectly.
Food was superb in the MDR we used the one near vines. Good quality. Perfect portion.sizes and brilliant service.
We went to Sabatinis twice. Food and ...
As cruisers since 2008 and having done 16 total, this being our 17th and 4th Princess cruise I'm sorry to say going was a mistake. 15 day Hawaii round trip from San Francisco, flew in day of the cruise and Uber from OAK to the pier #27, split fare with our 2 cruise buds and the total Uber was only $66 + tip. Ship was fine, clean, maintained, employees friendly but all the old covid protocols ...
We booked a 15day cruise to Hawaii. We flew from NJ to San Francisco for the sail away under the Golden Gate Bridge. After standing in line outside for 2 1/2 hours we finally entered the terminal and stood on line some more. Green lane and having the medallion didn’t matter. The sail away was 2 hours late. By this time the wind was freezing and it was raining. The service was good, the food was ...
Worst cruise I have ever experienced. There were ZERO covid precautions/enforcement to help protect us from getting COVID-19. Princess' lack of concern for infecting guests gave my family COVID-19. Princess did NOT protect their passengers/crew. Many people were sick on the ship and the crew just pretended it wasn't happening. Even after being notified that my party members contracted covid (from ...
We had been trying to go on this cruise since April 2020 and were so excited to be finally going to celebrate our 25th (now 27th) anniversary. Our mini suite was spacious and our room steward was very nice and attentive. We did a vow renewal which was extremely special. We aren’t ones who need to always be doing something and spent a fair amount of time just relaxing/reading in our room or one of ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to do the 15 day Hawaiian for our 70th birthday. So excited.
Day of embarkation, waited over 2 hours to get into building, thank goodness it wasn't raining (San Francisco).
Ship is small and does need repair.
I think they were very understaffed with this cruise. Our cabin steward and our main dining servers were fantastic. However, the ...
16 of us decided to do this Hawaii Cruise even though most of us have done this cruise at least once in the past. After the 2 year Covid break, we so look forward to this cruise. However, right from embarkation, there were issues...
Long line at the pier. Most passengers were seniors, some with walkers, with wheelchairs. No matter, the line stretched 100+ and we waited for more than an hour. ...
