A health advisory letter in the stateroom on embarkation day recommends wearing face masks while indoors and reminds of good hygiene practices such as hand washing and covering the mouth when sneezing or coughing. Ruby Princess has a well-balanced variety of both complimentary and paid dining options. Ruby Princess has a total of 1,542 staterooms, of which 1,106 are outside and 456 are inside. The age of the ship is reflected in the rooms’ dated style and furnishings, lack of USB plugs, and some awkward design features. All bathrooms, even of the top category, use Princess’ standard Lotus Spa bath products. Overall, the staterooms are comfortable and feature a neutral, calm palette of beige, cream, and brown.
Ruby Princess Activities
In addition to all of these new features, the Ruby Princess continues to include many of the design, cuisine, and entertainment elements found on its sister ships. Follows the complete list of Ruby Princess lounges, clubs and other entertainment venues for kids, teens and adults. Passengers tended to be friendly, and audience participation in most activities was the norm.
The best Wi-Fi at sea
Some Mini-Suites also have a pullman bed to accommodate a 4th passenger. Share is only found on board Emerald Princess and Ruby Princess, for now. If you wonder why to pay extra at Share, here are the cool things about the brand new Curtis Stone restaurant which make it worth the splurge.

The Lodge is for the tween set (ages 8 to 12); as long as parents sign a waiver giving permission, kids of this age can come and go as they please. Counselors here will keep the kids busy with talent shows, dance competitions, rocket-building Lego contests, paper airplane challenges and treasure hunts. Pieces here (Deck 5) go for several hundred up to several thousands of dollars. There are also art auctions, though more people show up for the free sparkling wine than to bid on art. Every floor (that has cabins) has self-service laundry with washers, dryers, ironing boards and irons. You can use your keycard to buy detergent and use the machines.

There's also dry-cleaning service available for pick up in each cabin (for a fee). Most people bought a package for their phone, laptop or tablet; there are several packages available for purchase. The Medallion app is free and it's a great tool to check out menus, show times and themes, and daily activities. Another popular activity is “The Voice of the Ocean”, which was inspired by the popular TV show and includes blind auditions, mentor sessions and coaches all playing a part to finding the winner.
At 113,561 GT, the vessel is the third and last in a series of three ships, known as the Crown class, that was built with design modifications distinguishing them from their older Grand-class sister ships. Delivered in 2008 by Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, Ruby Princess also became the ninth and final Grand-class ship to join the Princess Cruises fleet. Princess Cruises sailings onboard Ruby Princess are available for guests who have received their final dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the cruise and have proof of vaccination.

Voted one of the “Best Wine Bars at Sea,” by USA TODAY and located in a charming corner of the Atrium, Vines boasts an extensive collection of wines, fine Champagne and sparkling wines and regional offerings for purchase.

From rejuvenating spa treatments and the tranquility of a top-deck retreat reserved just for adults to our state-of-the-art fitness centers, you’ll find all the elements to come back new. Feel the court under your feet and the thrill of victory as you sink the ball in for two points. No matter your athletic ability, there’s nothing like shooting a few hoops out in the middle of the ocean as you watch the sun set and the stars come out.
Experience the Ultimate Night of Sleep at Sea
To request special assistance or equipment, the company requires submission of the mobility questionnaire at least 60 days prior to sailing. As of 30 March, at least 440 passengers had tested positive for the virus. Follow our social media and blog for the latest cruise and travel news, including our best vacation deals. Whether it’s your cruise destination or a launching point, Vancouver is a beautiful destination in itself with a sophisticated downtown and lots of natural elements to explore.
In the evening, several of the ship's public lounges offer a selection of canapes. 1Activities, dining and entertainment options vary by ship and are subject to change. Photos represent typical arrangements and may vary in detail or configuration. This contemporary lounge is "the place" for teens — perfect for hanging out and socializing with late-night movie viewing, hip hop dance classes, video game tournaments and sports competitions like dodgeball and basketball.
When it comes to programming, don’t expect high-octane thrills. There are the expected production shows, talented musicians, and dance classes, but the ship is also conducive to relaxation. The breezy, shaded area and its deluxe, cushy loungers are ideal for scenic days at sea. It is $20 for a half day, $40 for a full day, or $60 when going through the Panama Canal or Glacier Bay. Ruby Princess also has a library, an increasingly rare feature on ships. With four outdoor pools, ample deck space, and hundreds of balconies, this ship is a great pick for visiting sunny destinations such as Central America, Hawaii, California and the Caribbean.
Named "Best Spa on a Cruise Ship" by Spafinder Wellness 365™, the Lotus Spa® offers a variety of relaxing treatments, such as facials, aroma stone therapy massages, detoxifying ocean wraps and an aromatherapy thermal suite. Or get ready for a night on the town at the salon which features women’s styling color, men’s haircuts and shaves, manicure and pedicure choices and teeth whitening. Take a break and indulge in a private getaway at The Sanctuary, our exclusive adults-only retreat offering a relaxing alternative to the myriad outdoor activities and entertainment available elsewhere on the ship. With signature beverages, light meals, and al fresco massages, Serenity Stewards attend to your every need, whether it’s to be on hand to provide chilled face towels or Evian water atomizers.

Ruby is scheduled for a dry dock makeover September/October 2023. These suites are for larger families or groups traveling together and include special suite-only benefits and two bathrooms connected by a large living room, which leads to an expansive private balcony. The Ruby Princess fitness center is large and impressive, with great views of the ocean from the treadmills. The fitness center has all the latest equipment, including spinners. In addition to these special meals, the Ruby Princess has many familiar dining venues. My favorite is Sabatini's specialty restaurant, with its Italian theme, but many cruisers rank the Crown Grill as their top choice.
