Review summary

This was our first 10 day cruise. It was a good combination of sea and port days. We were looking for a warm adventure for a winter weather break. This cruise did that.

Fort Lauderdale is a great port to start in.

Davinci DR accommodated our group of 5. Food and service were great. We did not try any specialty restaurants or events.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We took advantage of the fitness classes. Mini golf and pools. Football games on the big movie screen were fun.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the musician Adam Barry both nights. Singer Lou Gazarra also had 2 shows. And princess dancers were wonderful. We appreciated the shows were 30-45 min.

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

It took a few days to get the layout of Ruby Princess. She was clean and in great condition. Her air conditioning was struggling in some common areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Beds and pillows are comfy. Plenty of storage in closet and cabinet tower. Sensor light in bath hall was welcome during the night. Refridge cabinet has awkward access. Air conditioning was struggling to keep cool. We were offered a fan that helped.
