Review summary

Overall great cruise for a first timer. I pretty much just stayed on the ship and relaxed the entire time. Always make sure to check your princess patter for port day spa specials. The sanctuary is a wonderful place to spend the day. They wait on you hand and foot. So wonderful.

Glad you enjoyed the Ruby. Ruby was our first Princess Cruise 3 1/2 years ago, now 30 days until we board to repeat that trip to Hawaii.
