Ruby Princess
Ship Rating: 
|
Sister ship to the Emerald Princess and the Crown Princess, the Ruby Princess offers many of the innovations passengers have come to expect from Princess Cruises. Guests are greeted by a dramatic piazza-style atrium, featuring a variety of eateries and an array of street performers. The dramatic views of the Caribbean itineraries can be enjoyed in one of almost 900 staterooms that offer a private balcony. With an extensive children's and teens' center, the Ruby Princess is an ideal choice for families. Enjoy a massage at the Lotus spa, or spend your evening watching a nighttime movie at the Movies Under the Stars poolside movie screen. Passengers can decide between traditional or Personal Choice dining options, or choose from one of the ship's specialty restaurants, Sabatini's Italian trattoria, the Crown Grill steak and seafood restaurant. The Sanctuary offers a relaxing oasis just for adults, which includes a pool, whirlpool, and spacious sundeck with lounge chairs, tables, and umbrellas.
