Review summary

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR & AVOID RUBY PRINCESS!!  WE WERE TAKEN TO A DIRTY ROOM. HAD TO FIND SOMEONE TO BRING US SOAP, TOWELS, ETC. TV STATION HAS 3 CHOICES-LOVE BOAT- 1 MOVIE THAT PLAY ALL DAY & 10 CHANNELS ADVERTISING PRINCESS CRUISES.  CHILDREN RUNNING AROUND UNSUPERVISED INCLUDING SITTING AT A BAR.  TAKES FOREVER FOR ROOM SERVICE & THEY STILL GET ORDER WRONG!!! 99% OF EMPLOYEES ON BOARD RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL.  NO CONSIDERATION FOR HANDICAPPED. ADVISING EVERYONE I KNOW TO STAY CLEAR OF RUBY PRINCESS. I CONTACTED THE CORP. OFFICE & WAS GIVEN THE BRUSH-OFF. THE CEO JAN SWARTZ WON'T TAKE PHONE CALLS.    DIDN'T COME IN CONTACT WITH 1 AMERICAN EMPLOYEE ON BOARD-ISN'T THAT DISCRIMINATION?!   A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will be our second cruise ... Our first was on the Anthem of the Sea. We never cared to go on a cruise until our kids took us last year 😀 now we're hooked . We'll be going in November ⛴

My wife and I have been on 56 cruises. Ruby is our favorite.

I feel really bad for his stateroom person and wait staff can you imagine how they were treated...

maxtruman    8 years ago

Thank you for not sailing again on the Ruby. We have three cruises scheduled with her over the next year. I'm glad you will not be aboard!

I feel sorry for you. You should stay home. Cruising is not for you

Don't anybody to listen to these people Princess Cruises and staff are fantastic. Any and all problems can be dealt with in a reasonable amount of time. However there are some people that you can never please.

We've been on the Ruby and did have a wonderful time. Be positive.

We have been on the Ruby Princess 3 times and have had no complaints. If there is a problem on any cruise we are on, we discuss the problem with the appropriate employee and resolve the problem.

I was on Ruby last year and it was the best cruise. I'd do it again anytime!

mmck    8 years ago

Wow, cruising is not for you. Thats a real big complaint no soap or towels, maybe your room steward wasn't finished or was distracted by another rude passenger demanding things. Also was just on the Ruby and you should learn how to operate a TV, they have more channels then you say. When giving a review you should tell the truth and not make things up or sound worse then they are. You show no respect there fore you didn't get any. Never found a rude employee on any of princess ships. Also typing in capitals is rude.

Do you work for Norwegian?

corallady9    8 years ago

I always have found that you are as happy as you care to be when on a cruise. Nitpicking leads to misery.

richnielsen    8 years ago

Some people choose to be miserable even on a cruise ship. NOT ME! Looking forward to my cruise in 23 days on the Ruby...

Skip the CAPS👎

"kids don't belong here" ???? if you dislike children why go on a cruise line that caters to families with kids ?   If you cruise again I may suggest HAL for less kids on board or maybe a boutique cruise line.

I don't think I'm planning on watching tv with the Inside passage in view.

CAPS RAGE!!!!

Sounds like a cruise, don't think it is your type of vacation. If you yelled at crew as loud as your yelling here you were probably the rude one.
