Just off the Ruby's 15 day Panama Canal crusie -- first after their 3 week dry/wet dock. The ship was clean and new paint all over. The crew was VERY happy to see paying customers again.
We had a toilet and shower issues for several days, all were resolved. The ship lost all wireless conductivity ( no Medallion sevice ) for 1.5 days in the beginning. Was a mess.
All new chairs and tables in the cabins and all public areas.
Horizon Court/Caribe Cafe have new carpet. No changes to the buffet. They did have everyother night themed dining ( Bavarian, Italian etc ) which was held in the Caribe Cafe separate from the Horizon buffet. The Horizon dinner started at 5:30 -- theme buffet at 6:00. The coffee service has changed -- no more coffee syrup mixed with hot water -- now have large coffee brewing stations -- one regular/ one decaf. Coffee was a big improvement. These are located at either end of the seating area's beverage station. Passengers are no long welcome in these areas -- after you are seated, you will be provided a beverage.Also, in the am, there is no longer roving servers with juice and coffee.
Casino has new carpet and comfy seats.
The shows were so-so.
The captain kept us well informed about weather and other items.
During tendering in Cabo, you could just see the patch on the hull's aft port side.
Overall had a great time.
