If available, take the Ultimate Ship Tour. I will review it when I post a review on Leg Two of our back to back 10/28 Sailing.

I'm not sure if it was the itinerary or just princess clientele in general, but there was a large majority of elderly people. Our table mates at dinner were in their late 80s and people we sat with at breakfast and lunch were all retired. Many very lovely people, but would have been nice to spend more time with people our own age. Over all the activities on the ship were somewhat sedate.

Make sure you get to main show early. Enjoy all the extras that you get for free. International café on deck 5,

Be sure to visit the Share restaurant!

Don't choose this ship just because it has a beautiful scenic bar on top because it is always closed.

For a first time cruiser, I say, don't be afraid to ask questions or help from the staff; they are there to help you. Also, I think, the most important thing to remember is that you are there to enjoy every moment of it - DO NOT sweat the small stuff. Don't be a NEGA-tron and find all the wrong things. One word: ENJOY!

As someone whose first cruise was with Carnival I had very high expectations that were sadly not met. Unless you plan on swimming and drinking all day in the sun, there isn’t anything really “fun” to do.

Perfect for a family. Horrible if you don’t have kids

A FYI, I bought the unlimited soda package. Milkshakes are no longer included it seems. Earlier this year I was on the Grand and the Island and milkshakes were included. This time it wasn’t.

Check for Adult only cruise if you have no children you are taking and the towels are like sandpaper

Make sure you get to the shows early if you want a seat.

I would not recommend going until the staff had more respect for their passengers

If you are 50+ and don't care about A+ customer service then this ship is for you.

YOU MUST go Club Class, The difference in price is absolutely worth the cost.

Just sit back and enjoy as much as you can.

There is very little time allowed off board in Mexico. Plan wisely. Get to theater room at least 30 minutes before show if you want a good seat.

Being that I’ve been on larger ships like the Carnival Vista and Royal Caribbean Oasis and paid the same amount of money. My advice is to go for the newer and larger ships, so much more worth it. You will thank me in the long run if you have to travel to get to one. I will never cruise Princess ever again.

Please sail the Ruby Princess, you won't be sorry. The only thing I would change was our dinner time; we had 'Anytime Dining'. To get a reservation, a simple call at 8 am every morning was required to schedule your dinner reservation. I could not do this because I was busy having fun at 8 am. We would have to wait for a table each night. However, the staff did their very best to get us a table in a timely manner. I will book traditional dining in the future, but it was nice to have this other option.
