We have sailed on the Ruby 4 times since last June and never had a problem!

And you should have lost a lot more than you won for it to be any good.....we file one every year when we win big.

We never use Princess insurance - it is inadequate - go to Squaremouth.com and choose what works best for you...Cheaper than Princess and more coverage.

I would take the aft suite any day.

Both are pretty much the same - go with the itinerary and ports.

Check the size regulations on your airline site.

I won $10K on the last night - there is no rhyme or reason to winning.....I think it is called LUCK.

Yes, we eat only in the buffet.

It could be the other poster never went to the buffet. We ate daily in the buffet and it was on Saturday when they opened the place to self serving....we had dinner there. I remember.

Actually they ended the crew serving the food at the buffet on the Saturday of the cruise. We were then able to serve ourselves at the buffet. It was a very nice cruise. We always eat in the buffet and it was not a problem. When noro is present, there is probably more transmission in the dining room with handling the chairs when sitting.... This is the time of year for noro to appear its ugly head on ships and also on shore.

That does not sound very good.....

That would be wonderful but more likely the cove will be the non smoking one like they have on Carnival.

Really 6% is not soooo sooo terrible....people just need to wash their hands a bit more....

PLEASE stop the call center in the Phillipines...not only are you taking away american jobs but they do not have a clue what is going on - so FRUSTRATING to deal with them and they are barely understood!! Next please STOP the Smoking in the Casino - make it a healthier environment for your passengers and the crew. Other lines have done this successfully. Thank you!

I have heard so many people doing the homeschooling thing so kids can travel at any time.

I think there is a lot of negativiity out there. Since the covid crisis, we have been on 9 cruises - different ships - total of 45 cruises total on Princess. We are with you on the April 16th trip. We have found the food to be excellent, the service to be superior and crew attitudes helpful and simply amazing so don't give up just yet. I think some people tend to post only their negative thoughts...nothing is perfect. Cruising sure beats land travel in my mind. Will maybe see you on the Emerald in April!!!

They gave it to us on our Dec 29th and our Jan 29th cruise....

The gratuity charges are getting out of control...We eat only in the buffet - do not use the dining room at all....we remove the auto gratuity from our account early in the cruise and we hand pay our room steward generously. We also tip bar service in the casino and waiters in the buffet...I think adding all those others is a bit out of line...

You can expect anything. Check the weather a few days before you leave and pack accordingly. WE have been 9 times and going again in June. WE no longer take the ugg boots and heavy jackets....last year it was in the high 70's to 80's at the same time in JUne/ WE always take umbrellas and/or rain jackets....we really have been lucky with sunny spectacular weather every time we went.

Once the ship reaches International waters - about two hours after sailing- the drink package will engage. Because of the ridiculous Texas laws on liquor, only certain brands may be consumed before this and due to this, Princess gives an OBC around $25 to your account. Hope this answers your question. We will be on the March 5th sailing and also were on the Dec 29th and Jan 29th sail.

WE are going in June for the 9th time - I check the weather the week before we leave and then determine what to pack and even then, one never knows!

We always request a win/loss statement for the year - it seems to work out well.

They will hand you the cash and a few weeks later you will get your W-2G form from Carnival Corporation in the mail. I have been pretty lucky the past few trips . No money withheld for taxes....

Love the aft rear balconies but on the royal and regal, the soot is a real issue. It gets everywhere..not sure the soot issue is worth the great view of the wake.

They are going to be very busy at the port with all the pick ups!!!
