Hi from the Ruby. 1/7/17. Ask away

[antsp]

My question was sincere. Is was exactly about Ruby.

 

You had strongly lamented paying tips after currency changes

following BREXIT, so I aasked you about it.

 

You said your goal was to create controversy.

You can hardly complain when you do.

 

Personally, if I were on a cruise, I wouldn't be wasting my time

bickering on some forum.

 

 

I'll say no more

 

 

Ps. The cruise is excellent as usual

[Kingofcool1947]

Maybe,

 

It's that or we discuss butter all day, or maybe trolling is what you did by bringing tipping into a thread about the Ruby

 

:eek::eek:

[Retiring cajun]

Is there a crab shack on Ruby?

Not doing a live but if anyone wants any questions answering I will try and accommodate.

I'm on a cruise so I may get distracted, but I'll do my best

Hey,

 

Thanks for your offering in answering questions... :)

 

I would like to know the following, since we are going to do the same cruise in March 2017 on Star Princess:

-Are petit Fours still offered @formal nights in main dining room, and sorbet in between?

-Complimentary snack service @Movie Under The Stars?

-Still free Pub Lunch?

-Tea time still offered in the afternoon?

-Surf and Turf/Lobster/Filet Wellington still offered @formal nights?

 

That's the first things I'd like to know so far... :)

I am also curious about the pub lunch!! We love it and have heard it's gone. Booo!

[terrysko2000]

Oops just saw your other thread saying the pub lunch is gone!!

Maybe it is. Maybe it's not. You might want to go read that other thread.

Maybe the post was simply intended to create controversy on

cruise critic. The poster said that was her goal.

It will be a cold day you know where when I pay money for the pub lunch that has been free FOR YEARS! :mad: What's next? :mad::eek:

 

Magic fingers massage beds, powered by quarters fed into the slots. :D

[antsp]

I didn't read that.

 

 

I may start threads to create debate and controversy, however I do not post lies

 

Fact is I'm on the Ruby 1/7/17 sailing.

 

1st sea day was $12 salty dog, no free pub lunch

 

2nd sea day, today. No salty dog, no free lunch

 

Don't shoot the messenger

Who, me? I'm not shooting anybody. :confused:

I would love to know what the current cost is for a soda? Do they serve lobster in the MDR?

[poMaddict]

Antsp, would love to know current cost of a soda onboard, and do they serve Lobster in the MDR?

 

Going in April!

Based on a 15-day cruise on the Star that ended last week, the answers to your questions are:

 

Yes

Don't know

Yes

Yes

Never saw a Beef Wellington offered the entire cruise including the third formal night, a.k.a. Lobster night.

[KruzeKrazy!]

Formal night tonight,

 

Comedian Carlos Oscar in Explorers

 

Colours of the Wind in the theatre

Thanks for the "real time" reporting!

 

Was the first formal night the first or the second sea day?

[KruzeKrazy!]

And would love to hear about SHARE - the quality of the food, the niceness of the setting, has there been more full or sparse attendance, do you wish Sabatini was there istead, etc.

[Paulmj]

Was the first formal night the first or the second sea day?

 

We sailed from LA on Tuesday for Hawaii, Wednesday in Ensenada, Thursday first sea day and first formal night.

 

By the way, on your question about snacks during MUTS, our friend watched the Orange Bowl in the afternoon, and popcorn was available.

 

Also, the Pub Lunch which we've enjoyed previously was poor. Only F&C and fried shrimp. No traditional Brit dishes as in the past.

[KruzeKrazy!]

How is the condition of the ship?

[latebloomer56]

Would you know if tapas was available at Vines on the Ruby?

Thanks for all the live info.

[MJC]

Is there Zumba on sea days, and if so, morning or afternoon?

[shipfriend_max]

Hi,

 

I would like to know what the coffee prices were like?

 

On Celebrity, they are very high but on princess I remeber the drink prices are quite reasonable - hope same is true for coffee?

[damiross]

Another thread mentioned a $49 for all photos taken of you during the cruise. Is that available on the Ruby?
