Embarkation

It was very smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was excellent! The dinning quarters were good. Food selection was great. We loved the Da' Vinci restaurant, we had dinner there for all of our nights. The buffets were also great and kept very clean.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I enjoyed the activities but would have preferred more shows. Some movies were ok and some I did not find appropriate for a family cruise.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows that we saw were great. Left wanting more! The DJ Whit was AMAZINGGGGGG!!!! She played music that had variety. The other DJ that performed at Skywalkers Lounge. I didn't like the music selection. I would have hoped to have more Latin music. The overhead speaker music inside of the buffet areas was better and had more variety.

Children's Programs

I dont have children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My room steward Bengie Pante was very attentive. He was always there if I had any questions. The waiters who waited on me were Argel Joseph Silvino, Russel Urayayi, Ric Morfe, and Reinaldo Lopez. They were all INCREDIBLE, the service, the attention to details, they all went above and beyond to make memorable moments special. The ship personnel were talented and amazing.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The layout and design of the ship were exquisite. Loved, loved, loved the Christmas decorations throughout the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Liked that it was spacious and the layout of the room was nice. I though it was going to be smaller but I was very well surprised.

Thanks for sharing your review of Ruby Princess cruise. We sail on her to Alaska with group of 9 (mostly couples) and have booked Da Vinci dining room so especially nice to hear you had good experience dining there.
