This is such a shame. We are elite and do not drink alcohol so we always traded our mini bar for coffee cards. It seems that with Princess they want you to purchase the additional add on fares. In March some people were able to get a $50 OBC instead of the coffee card. Just another elite perk that is being changed.

We were just on the Ruby and the peanut butter cookies were not as good as before Covid. I never saw cookies in the buffet only in the IC. Thanks for the info.

I am really enjoying your live thread. We will be on her December 17th. Burning up the last of our Covid credits. I saw on the deck plans that there is a pastry shop near the buffet. Have you been? Looking forward the be on a new Princess ship.

We were on the Ruby September 24 to October 1. There were 2 production shows Stardust and Color of the Wind. Stardust was just ok. We didn’t go to the other as we had seen it before. There was a comedian in the theater 2 other nights. He was not very funny at all. We didn’t go back. The other entertainer was a singing impressionist who was great. We went to both of his shows. If we are going to the theater we like to have dinner between 5 and 5:30. The shows start at 7:30.

Have there been MUTS or movies in the theater. It would be icing on the cake for us if they were playing Top Gun!

There has always been one dining room open for lunch on embarkation day until about 1:00. It is listed on the patter. Hopefully they will keep this.

I was worried that with the lack of staff they may have stopped that. It’s a nice way to start off the cruise.

Do you know if there was a dining room open on embarkation day?

I’m assuming from this that our stop in Vancouver will be cancelled. The Prince Rupert stop is now on Wednesday the same day we should have been Wednesday. I wonder when Princess will let us know.

Is this a replacement for Victoria on an Alaskan cruise? We are on a coastal cruise out of San Francisco. Thanks for your response.

We are booked on the Ruby in September and the dock schedule for Victoria shows it cancelled but Prince Rupert shows the Ruby as there all day the same day we should be in Vancouver all day. No change listed on our booking. The cruise prior to ours shows the same. Anyone recently on the Ruby that skipped Victoria?

Is there still priority boarding elite?

Years ago there was a movie my husband really wanted to see playing on MUTS so he braved the cold. The next day the same movie played in the warm Princess theater! We will be on a coastal on the Ruby so hopefully it won’t be too cold outside. Enjoy your cruise!

We will be on the Ruby in September. Does anyone know if they are sailing at full capacity and if the staffing shortages have been resolved. Are they showing movies in the theater and on MUTS.
