"The port staff, security and cruise staff were super nice and YES the Princess Medallion was like magic, as we moved from one check-in stage to the other.We stayed at the Hilton Home2 Suites and our room looked out toward the port, so we got to see the ship come in the next morning...."Read More

What made this trip was the itinerary!!! I liked that we didn’t have to sign after each purchase with the uncomfortable feeling of needing to tip extra with our special drink and dining package. The ship didn’t feel crowded even though it was at full capacity. The ship was clean and staff was great. Carpets in halls need to be changed or shampooed. My room needed updated blow dryer. My mom had a ...
We enjoyed the itinerary or ports of call visited. Cartagena and going through the Panama Canal were the highlights. I would suggest that the descriptions of the excursions include how long the bus rides are. We spent 3 hours in a bus going to the Rain forest in Costa Rica and saw only birds and lizards/frogs at the destination. We did see monkeys and a sloth during the ride there.

Ruby Princess needs a complete overhaul of her plumbing etc.
There were extensive problems with toilets not working, flooding in some cabins and even the kitchen got flooded.
There was a fire in the crew area on the last night as well as a sudden listing to one side. Several people were picked up by ambulances when we got to Ft Lauderdale in the morning. Don't know what that was related ...
The first cruise we ever took was on the old Dawn Priincess, So Princess has a special place in our hearts. For that reason it hurts to see how far they have slipped in quality. This 10 day cruise had perhaps the worst entertainment we have ever seen. From a female comedian who was terrible--an impersonator who wasen't even close. One "showroom" star was a guy who had been performing in the lounge ...
We chose Princess Ruby because it sails from San Fransisco. We liked many activities and entertainment. But very disappointed that it has very limited Asian food that you can only find in buffet area. Even the limited Asian food tended to be Indian food or Tai food.
The bar quality are not consistent. Sometime are strong while other time are week. Coffee some time are stale while other times ...
This was a long planned family cruise including my mother, my brother, and both of our families. Fourteen of us, in all, including three great grandchildren. It was a first cruise for the grand and great-grand generations. The rest of us are spread out from Ruby to Elite in Princess’ Captain’s Circle/Medallion program.
We had great weather at all of our ports. The only weather impact was fog ...
We choose this cruise mostly because it sails out of San Francisco and we live within an hour of SF.
Also, we have always wanted to do an Alaskan cruise and not having to deal with air travel or hotels was a big plus. This was our first Princess cruise. Our previous cruises have been on Royal Caribbean.
Here are some things I preferred on the Ruby Princess.
1. The drinks. Don’t know ...
Overall Princess knows how to visit Alaska and they do it well. The itinerary was wonderful, Sitka, Haines, Glacier Bay, Juneau and the not so wonderful Prince Rupert. The voyage was rough going but fortunately neither of us gets motion sickness, we enjoyed walking the empty outside decks and really blustery FRESH AIR. This was a full ship.
Embarkation in San Francisco was a breeze. We headed ...
Alaska was beautiful. As far as the cruise part of it, the food was not impressive at all. The flavor was just not there. Many items were not labeled. For people with food allergies or being vegetarian, that can be a problem. The things that were supposed to be in my parents stateroom were not provided ( toilet riser and hand held shower nozzle) The entertainment was just ok. The entertainment and ...
We're Elite with Princess, Club/Reserve Mini Suite Level and sail with them 2-3 times a year and just returned from a 7 day Calif Costal Cruise. I have no problem rating Guest Service at 5 Stars throughout this cruise and our 2 previous cruises in 2022.
Despite having access to the Club/Reserve Dinning Room, we've noticed that since the Covid reopening Princess's food quality and variety has ...
