Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

I gave 4 stars because bathroom is too small, shower can barely fit one person, VERY small. The room and balcony size is fine.

Ship tip

Ruby is an old ship but still a great ship, always good time hanging out at Crooners, Good Spirit and Revolution and Wheelhouse bar

Mohagony Bay is Absolutely AMAZING, so close to the ship too, you only walk about 5 mins and you are in this beautiful private beach, adorable area and plenty to shop around. I swear I did not want to leave🥹

Appreciate your detailed and informative review. Princess is geared towards a more “sophisticated” population. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

I have been on Rudy Princess several times and really like the ship. All my Ruby Princess cruises were to Alaska plus they were my first cruises to Alaska as well. Beautiful ship and great times on the Ruby.
