Glacier Bay is an awesome sight worth seeing if you ever have a chance. I had always balked at going to Alaska because I don’t like being cold. Not only did we have terrific weather but we saw some of the most magnificent sights we have ever seen. The staff on Ruby Princess helped us celebrate our 50th anniversary on style from the portals that wished us happy anniversary every time we walked by to the flowers in our cabin from housekeeping staff to the special dinner at Crown Grill. A special thanks to Romantikcruiser for arranging a meet and greet for those of us on Cruise Mate. The Captain and his entire senior staff showed up to welcome us on board. They truly made us feel welcome.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
A safety issue with the gangway on the San Francisco side caused a slight delay. The medallion experience was exceptional. We entered the green lane and it took less than five minutes to check in. The only reason I went with 4 stars was because of the delay, which was really caused by the port of San Francisco.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Every staff member went out of the way to greet us us with a friendly hello. John, our cabin steward was available when needed and our cabin was exceptionally clean at all times. The staff in the International Cafe took the time to get to know us and call us by name. They remembered our orders and always got them right. They enjoyed their jobs and genuinely cared for their guests.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
We sailed on Ruby during her first year. Although Princess has made a few changes she is still a Grand Dame. She is well maintained and as clean as ever. The crew is constantly cleaning and maintaining. The pride they take in being part of the Ruby family is obvious. Other than maybe the Boticelli Dining Room the ship is well layer out with easy access to all the venues.
It was great seeing you And your blushing bride …sadly the quarantine prevented the vow renewal and our drink…I’m glad that you had a grasp experience and keep on cruising through life
