Cruiseathoning Posted November 20, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2018 It was a cruise. It was a drivable port. It was a good price. The end. Seriously I read and researched. I liked the look of the menus, the investments in upgrades, the type of entertainment. I hope it works out. Some people on the same cruise have completely different opinions. Same cruise. After a while I had a hard time discerning objective from vindictive. It looks like a nice ship so i decided not to overthink it. I am optimistic but like with anything, I go with measured expectations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_galt Posted November 20, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Can't argue with that logic. Enjoy! I've been on the Emerald, Crown and Grand (twice). I love that class of ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennybenny Posted November 21, 2018 #4 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Sounds like a good enough reason! 🙂 We love the Ruby as well. Love SHARE too. If it was a short drive for us, we would cruise her more often! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted November 21, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Congrats on booking the Ruby! If I lived that close I would be in big trouble. 😳😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyancho Posted November 21, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Went on the Oct 27- Nov 3rd Mexican Riviera cruise. The ship looks great, the food off the new menus was great, the new bedding was terrific. Nothing negative to report. Enjoy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted November 21, 2018 #10 Share Posted November 21, 2018 What other reasons do you need? That's more than enough! I've been on the Ruby twice (once was Mex. Riv.) and had a great time both times. Your expectations seem reasonable so I think you'll have a great time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjfrany Posted November 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Hello we were just on the Ruby it was great. Only 2 things wrong, cold food in main dinning room first 2 nights, and a cold shower one afternoon. Called front desk they said hot water at 7:30pm. We really enjoyed the cruise 7 day coastal.

Think you might be looking at the year the OP joined Cruise Critic. OP, prior to the Regal, the Ruby was our favourite Princess ship! You will enjoy it, especially with the attitude you’re going in with. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam in CA Posted December 18, 2018 #20 Share Posted December 18, 2018 You can have two people on the same cruise with polar opposite experiences and opinions. Doesn’t mean one is right or one is wrong. We all have different expectations and opinions. One person’s “Yum” is another’s “Yuck.” No cruise is perfect. Heck, no one’s perfect. My home isn’t perfect and a ship deals with marine elements and thousands of people using and abusing it on a daily basis. A little rust? Doesn’t bother me. A spot on the rug? Doesn’t bother me. Can’t find something on the menu? I order something else off-menu that’s easy to prepare. Life is what you make of it. I love being on a ship. Period. End of story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailed on her for the Maiden Voyage and at the end of September this year just before she went into drydock. Considered her to still be a beautiful ship then and is probably even better now since the drydock. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
