I will agree the seating area on that class of ship is limited. If weather is good, you can sit outside, but it's a slight inconvenience. Ruby Princess is one of favorite of the older Princess fleet and have cruised on her a few times and always had a great time. I also have noticed over the last few years, that the bands playing on Princess ships have gotten way way louder, especially in open areas like the piazza. It's so loud, you can't carry on a conversation, and who wants to sit in piazza having a cup of coffee and piece if cake and relax while the band is playing music so loud, deaf people can hear it.
