I’ve been on the Ruby three times we had good weather and very seldom felt the ship moving. In my opinion the stabilizers work great. I have been on other ships that I felt a lot of movement but we were in rougher seas.

Enjoying the music in the piazza, when they have it. Food mostly very good, although one night MDR had few dishes I liked or could eat in the MDR. Rough passage to Hawaii due to Pacific weather systems, but for the last 4 days, nice. 7 more days of enjoyment. Did note two couples complaining that there was a lack of food choices...true.... compared to the Oasis and Magic class ships, but for us, enough variety to keep 15 days from being boring.
