rogueriver Posted September 13, 2023 #76 Share Posted September 13, 2023 We will be on the Panama Canal cruise right after the ship finishes in drydock. Very excited to hear about some of the upgrades, especially the freshening of the cabins. Looking forward to hearing any additional information. Thanks, Belle! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Posted September 14, 2023 #78 Share Posted September 14, 2023 (edited) Home today---Enjoyed my 4 b2b's. Didn't find out about the spa. I'm Sorry Again from the captain, said the Buffett is not being made into the Marketplace. He wasn't happy about it. He thinks it should be.

Dormouse99 Posted September 26, 2023 #79 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) Here she is yesterday at Pier 27, San Francisco. It's strange to see her unoccupied. She is our favorite of the Princess fleet. Our next cruise will be on the Crown.

Outerdog Posted September 26, 2023 #80 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Just off Ruby yesterday. They embarked contractors in SF and had a large crane loading materials onto the Lido deck. Lots of rolls of new carpet spotted on the pier, road cases (presumably tools and equipment), and lots of other materials and things. Gone were the usual stacks and obvious boxes of provisions (although there were some). I assumed we would see some work commencing during our 10 day voyage directly ahead of the dry dock. Fortunately there was none. Everything was open and operating as normal. I did note a couple of contractor personnel who were already onboard. Forgot the logo on their shirts, but they were IT related kinda guys and definitely not crew. But that was it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted October 8, 2023 #86 Share Posted October 8, 2023 When you look at the photo in post #84 notice coverings on the stern of the ship that look something like plywood. Anyone know what this is for? Is there some sort of re-building going on in this area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m anxious to see how she looks, although I’ve never sailed the Ruby before so everything will be new to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalLuvsCrusingToo Posted October 10, 2023 #93 Share Posted October 10, 2023 As someone well traveled on Ruby, I am very happy to hear about work being done. So much so, I just now booked Panama canal again. This time on Ruby. Anxious to hear how it turns out.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingrob21 Posted October 10, 2023 #94 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I think this is on the Ruby - looks like new carpet coming in (or maybe old carpet being removed). Not an easy job for these hard working folks with Xaler. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyEREMHJZlh/ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that this was a hallway carpet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAS!!1414 Posted October 11, 2023 #96 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Ruby Princess has departed DD in Portland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank.ncl Posted October 12, 2023 #97 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Excellent. I heard she is heading to Victoria Canada for a week long wetdock to finish her remodel. Hope they are updating the Horizon Cafe buffet, it was looking a bit dated on my Alaska cruise in May. Excited to be the first group to sail on her in 10 days!

I saw the Ruby from the plane and was going to go over to Vigor to check Ruby out. Too late, I see Ruby is already moving and near Longview WA now.

Aunt Holly Rose Posted October 12, 2023 #99 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I looked at Ruby's deck plan and it shows Cafe Caribe adjacent to Horizon Court. I'm not familiar with Cafe Caribe. Is this new or part of the existing (pre-dry dock) buffet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank.ncl Posted October 12, 2023 #100 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I believe Cafe Caribe has always been there but was just used as an extension of the Horizon Court buffet on busy sea days. We were on Ruby in May and I could not tell where the Horizon ended and Caribe started. They were almost one of the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
