![]() ![]() Ruby is scheduled for a dry dock makeover September/October 2023. Though it was refurbished in 2018, the vessel shows its age with its dated theater and boring, albeit serviceable, comfortable staterooms. To give you an idea, it was christened in 2008 by Trista and Ryan Sutter from the The Bachelorette, a reference only those who lived the reality TV craze of the late aughts would understand. Ruby Princess also has a library, an increasingly rare feature on ships. It is $20 for a half day, $40 for a full day, or $60 when going through the Panama Canal or Glacier Bay. The breezy, shaded area and its deluxe, cushy loungers are ideal for scenic days at sea. It has four pools (one with a retractable roof), seven hot tubs, 13 bars/lounges serving alcohol, plenty of deck space, a casino (smoking permitted), spa, Thermal Suite, and The Sanctuary, an adults-only area at the bow of Deck 17, above the Lotus swimming pool. There are the expected production shows, talented musicians, and dance classes, but the ship is also conducive to relaxation. When it comes to programming, don’t expect high-octane thrills. ![]() The program is stacked with these types of activities, from pickleball and ping pong, to amped-up game shows like Deal or No Deal in the main theater. The newly refurbished, beautifully decorated Camp Discovery kids’ club ensures youth are well entertained.Īdults will also be entertained if they enjoy audience participation and friendly competition. The shorter five- to-seven day Mexico and Caribbean winter getaways attract more families and multigenerational groups. Longer sailings and Alaska skew older, though grandkids do tag along in the summer months. The Princess app, a key part of the cruise experience, is available in English, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Japanese, German, Spanish, and Russian, a testament to how the company tries to cater to international guests. Generally the ship attracts a multicultural mix of Americans and Canadians from 40 to 70 years of age. Ruby’s passenger demographic depends on the itinerary’s length and destination. ![]()
