not a good layout overall hard to get around; in most bars, restaurants, windows were small and/or covered so rarely saw the sea when most places on the ship

The Ruby was easy to get around in, not sure if you have an issue with spatial relationships and you should not cruise on the bigger ships with all that is packed in. And the beverage package only counts the number of alcohol drinks you have, not the water, sodas and juices from the Princess website : - Alcoholic drinks are limited to 15 beverages per 24-hour period (6 a.m. to 6 a.m.). Alcoholic drinks requested above the daily limits are at the discretion of the shipboard management and crew and charged at regular menu prices. - Non-alcoholic drinks do NOT have this limitation nor do they count toward this maximum.

Limits on the Princess premium beverage package is only on alcohol, read the rule on the Princess site. As far as windows, what did you expect? Wall to wall widows everywhere? Only issue I have with the windows is that Princess rarely cleans most of them.

I wonder why a negative review is added by somebody who has no history of trips listed in their bio? 🤔 if we could see your history, your review would hold more weight..
