Coming back to Princess

[Zoey1]

We have not sailed with Princess for many years, most recently we have been with Celebrity cruise line.

 

Staying in suites we have always had unlimited premium beverage package,speciality dining and gratuities.

It does not look like any of this is “included? Am I correct in that and if so, does anyone know if there are packages for all of this and cost.

 

Any information plus any and all info about Ruby Princess would be so greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Wendy

Welcome back and now you can 'Escape Completely and Come Back New.':cool:

 

We did 30 days on Ruby in 2010, large ship, good features. I am not a suite cruiser, out of my league, but if you look at Princess website, it will tell all. Above all enjoy and come back new.:*

Please be sure to post your observations after your cruise. Would like to hear your thoughts based on your prior Princess cruises and your more recent ones with Celebrity.

Without status for us we are just trying to find our place in the cruising world. We had a Princess cruise booked but had to cancel last year. Now I'm looking at Princess again and a couple other lines for the Caribbean. I like the fancy look of Royal Caribbean but maybe with a little less party atmosphere. At my age folks, If anyone is going to be the life of the party it better be me. :p

Ruby Princess small????

 

Its a Grand Class ship with over 3000 passengers or so and 113,000 tons!

 

Maybe you are thinking of Pacific Princess with about 700 passengers?

[Alstongrove]

Hmm

Guess I didn't realize how large after being on Mega Ships

Buy 100 shares of Carnival stock and get a tax free OBC every time you sail.

We just returned on Sunday from the Royal Princess Transatlantic. Hadn't done Princess in 4 years, but had done 2 Celebrity Silhouette cruises. We got the free drink package on Celebrity, and upgraded mine for $10/day. No such luck on Princess. We paid a little over $850/pp for the AIBP (all-inclusive drink package), which we thought was pretty steep, especially since you can't get a Perrier or San Pellegrino on it. Does that make sense? We sailed on the Ruby in 2013, and enjoyed that ship a lot, especially Skywalkers. Have fun.

you can still get the little bottles, tho - correct?

I have sailed in suites on Celebrity, NCL and Princess within the past 2 years. NCL had the most perks and best prices and Celebrity came in second for value. Princess and Celebrity are more to my liking. Celebrity has better MDR food and a much better buffet. NCL has butlers with suites which I don't find of any use.

On Princess when you have a full suite (not a mini suite) you have complimentary access to the thermal suite in the spa. They have stone lounge beds that are heated and just wonderful so take advantage of that perk. Celebrity and Princess are more alike then different in service and passenger demographics.
