My husband and I are excited to take another cruise again with Princess.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Fast and efficient for first time cruisers
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Food was plentiful, but many times tasted the same. Best food at the Salty Dog Grill. Main dining room service was excellent but the food often was less than expected in quality. Rolls were all hard. Drinks were pretty good, but bring your own water.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Great salon, fun shows, small casino however the employees were welcoming and new our favorite drinks with the medallion experience.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Shows were very elaborate and entertaining. The Princess theater was freezing, bring a coat. DJ was fantastic, wish they started the evening dancing at the bar a little earlier, not all who love to dance want to start after 10 pm.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward Nerwin, was attentive to all our requests and needs. He found our lost bag during embarkation, he made our beds perfectly, and made us feel special. He worked endlessly with a smile on his face. Pinar in the casino always welcomed us with a smile and a drink. Helmut in the salon made me feel like a princess, so talented and quick with styling my long thick hair. I had a massage and it was wonderful, I also had a consult with the acupuncture physician, and they were very accurate with my diagnosis, I declined acupuncture treatments during my cruise, because, I am already in treatment with a chinese medicine practitioner.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
For an older ship, the staff did an excellent job with cleaning and maintaining everything. It took a while to find our way around, but everyone was helpful, when we got lost.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We loved our room, and the excellent balcony. Coffee and light breakfast in the morning enjoyed on the balcony, we made friends with our neighbors, and enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets. Spring for a balcony, you won't regret it.
Ship tip
Order bottled or boxed water, soda cans prior or bring aboard.
Thanks for the review - we are cruising Ruby for first time to Alaska in July 2024. I agree spring for a balcony - have tried interior and balcony on Princess cruises but I think only balcony from now on. Love the fresh air and waking up to a view. Happy cruising!
Glad you enjoyed your Princess cruise. Princess is our favorite cruise line over others we’ve been on. I was a bit confused by your suggestion about the water? Was it the brand of bottled water you didn’t like or were not aware the bottled water is available at any of the bars on board. If your have the Princess Plus or Premier package, there’s no additional charge. We always stop at one of the bars on our way back to our cabin for the night and get a couple of bottles of water to take back to our cabin. Works out well for us.
