Review summary

the one question I always ask myself after a trip is would I return!!!! Beyond a doubt I certainly would travel Princess Cruises. Too bad the staff would change because everyone from the Hotel General Mgr, Maitre D Hotel were so accommodating & polite. They kill you with "kindness"....they fulfill every moment with fond memories. I was thrilled to spend my precious time cruising and especially with Ruby Princess. Can't wait for my next venture.

My first cruise was the Golden Princess to Hawaii then last year we went on the Norwegian Getaway to the Western Caribbean and now in just a few hours we will be on the Ruby Princess for the Mexican Riviera. Comparing Princess and Norwegian I chose to go with Princess for this cruise and we are bring our friends that took us on the Norwegian cruise to try out a Princess Cruise. I'll update when we get back if Princess still holds up to my expectations; which I'm sure it will! Norwegian is not a bad cruise line either I would use their cruise line again.

I have cruised with Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Crown Princess. My next cruise will be with Ruby Princess. I've found myself comparing other cruises against Princess. looking forward to 2018 Mexican Riviera and Alaska to follow on a later year.

I too love Princess ships and the crew. I can not recall a single bad episode. IF bad events have occurred, they were minor enough not to remember. I enjoyed the Ruby and look forward to her sister ship the Crown this Winter.

We are about to go on our 7th cruise with Princess. We have never been disappointed on any of them. Expect the same this time. Will report when we return.
