Operated by Princess Cruises, Ruby Princess is a large ocean resort ship that launched in 2008 and was last refitted in 2018. It's designed to accommodate up to 3,080 guests across 1,542 cabins. On board, 1,200 crew members are available to take care of guest needs.
This size of ship focuses on onboard variety, with a wide selection of venues and activities available throughout the sailings. Ruby Princess welcomes children on board.
On board, you can eat at 13 restaurants and eating venues, with six complimentary venues and seven available for a supplement. You can also grab a drink at six bars and lounges.
Ruby Princess has no shortage of ways to keep you entertained, from music and dancing and art gallery and auctions to festivals of the world and beyond.
Ruby Princess has seven accommodation options to choose from. 43% have windows or balconies offering views of the scenery beyond and 43% are suites, meaning if you're dreaming of sailing away while taking in the sunset or indulging in a more spacious sanctuary at sea, you're in the right place.
An amazing and inspiring cruise covering excursions to Los Angeles and Long Beach for the Queen Mary and unforgettable visiting Santa Barbara, LA and San Diego terminating in Mexico.
the staff were friendly and helpful. Facilities good,but the best was the issue if medallions. My husband has Alzheimer's, so this was a great way of knowing where he was at any given time, as he is prone to wandering.
We eventually embarked on the Ruby Princess, after standing in a car park for over 3 1/2 hrs, even though you are given your embarkation time to reduce delays.
Our toilet wouldn't flush for 2 day's and our bathroom flooded and we had to be moved to a higher level and at the back of the ship. The room was not expected to be used I don't think as there was no fridge, or table on the balcony. Of which, on sailing to Hawaii and back, we never faced South and had any sun there. Not to mention whenever we docked, we faced the cargo area and never the town.
The Pacific is rough with high winds and it was difficult to find any shelter to go out on deck. This also meant our new room at the back of the ship was moving so much that it became difficult to stand properly and made going to bed a sickly feeling.
The sailing time to the first destination was 4 day's and this was too long, especially as the journey was incredibly rough. Honolulu and Maui, our first 2 destinations were good as there was so much to do, but more time was needed. The final 2, there was nothing really to do and a long walk to get to any town. Some of the locals even said that they didn't know why cruise ships dock here.
The taxi's were few and far between and the queues were in excess of 2 hrs. People gave up waiting. Not only that, when you eventually got somewhere, you only had a handful of hours to do anything and get back to the ship before the next sailing. Everything felt rushed and unorganised.
After the 4 day's of the Islands, we then had another 4 day's at sea, followed by an evening spent in Mexico - Ensenada, again about 4 hrs. We then sailed for another day back to San Francisco before leaving for the airport.
The evening's food was definitely not 5* and paying the supplement for the more elaborate dining was not worth the money. In fact our BA food on our flight home was better!
Our son's gave us a 30th wedding anniversary gift by paying for the drinks package, but we felt so rough a lot of the time, that we could not take advantage of their generosity.
This is the first time I have ever had to complain about a cruise, but I would never do one like this again. It especially pains me after paying around £10,000 for the experience.
