Great review, on board this Saturday. Absolutly can't wait. Ruby is my favorite ship. I can't remember if it's out 3rd or 4th time. The thermal spa is fantastic. Puctures were great.

Heading out on the Ruby gor the 4th time..we love this ship. The thermal spa and the crew. One of our favorites.

There is no Thermal Suite on the Grand (or on the Golden). I.e. No heated loungers, no Gentle Sauna, No Aromatherapy steam, and no Gentle Steam rooms. There are Sauna and Steam rooms out by the Lotus Spa pool.
Do you know if they are co-ed

Original Joe's "original" location was on Taylor Street in the Tenderloin. It now sits in the former building occupied by Fior d'Italia (before it was destroyed by fire). Fior d'Italia then moved to Mason Street.

Alcatraz is a 3-4 hour excursion in itself. Plan on a morning or afternoon. So a two day hop on-hop off pass would give you more flexibility.
(I am assuming you are referring to a one or two day pass on the Ho-Ho, not the actual Alcatraz admission itself. There is no two day pass for Alcatraz- and a half day is all you really need to see Alcatraz.)
But you could save yourself the cost of a day's ho-ho fare, if you do Alcatraz on your own. If you are doing Alcatraz by yourself, you should pre-book up to 90 days in advance. Tickets sell out fast! The official website is http://www.alcatrazcruises.com. Tickets are $37.25 each. Compare this to the cost of the ho-ho tour with the Alcatraz feature.($119) Is it worth it to you? The boats to Alcatraz are down the street from the Cruise Terminal (0.2 mile- 5 minute walk) at Pier 33.
After doing Alcatraz in the morning, you could stay in the Fisherman's wharf area visiting Pier 39, Gharadelli Square, and riding the Cable Car to Union Square. (The Cable Car is not included in the price of a HO-HO ticket).then take a trolley along Market Street to the Ferry Building and then walk along the Embarcadero back to the cruise terminal. Then on Day 2, you could ride the Ho=Ho bus to see the things further out, including the GG Bridge vista, Golden Gate Park,the Palace of Fine Arts, Alamo Square and wherever else the Ho-Ho bus goes or Day 2 for your Napa Valley trip.
The Napa Valley is a day trip on it's own. But the Ho-Ho people say they can visit 2 Sonoma Wineries in a half day. OK, whatever. I prefer the Napa Valley over the Sonoma Valley any day. Also pre-book if you want to do this.
If you have an evening in SF, go see Beach Blanket Babylon and eat dinner nearby in North Beach, like at Original Joes.
Where is original Joe's? Love eating there

We bring wine on, after our wine excursions we were allowed to walk on with bottles of wine bought from our trip. Never had an issue

We,on the other hand, have booked a mini suite (guarantee) because Princess sent an offer with a very good price; but we have no idea just what the difference is from a normal balcony room. I assume that the room is a bit larger, but is there anything else that is different?
P.S. I don't what to hijack this thread into some other topic, but we just don't know the difference.

You get a bathtub, couch, 2 TVs. Wine 1/2 red, 1/2 white.

We're on the Ruby, medallion net is up and running. I have had no problem. Works great. Sign up for unlimited and get it fo 50%off. Great deal. All you have to do right now is slide your roo card in front of the door scanner and your door opens. No medallion get. Great trip so far. Live the Ruby.
