Review summary

Overall this was an excellent cruise. The boat was very spacious and clean, the service was impeccable, and the amenities were great. The bars had all top shelf liquior and beer which was a very nice surprise. The evening resturaunts were fabulous and filling. The buffets could use some work. Great anytime grills and snack food. Very easy transitions to and from ports excursions, and embarking and disembarking. It was a very well organized cruise and completely worth the money!

Hi , I am a first timer cruising ruby princess on oct. 15. We are 3 persons on stateroom balcony aloha. May I request for an overview of how the room looks like and how large the size is? This is so, we can plan our sleeping arrangements and plan on how our luggage size will be. Thank you.
