Colo Cruiser Posted October 23, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2008 News Article 10/23/2008 Ruby Princess Delivered by Shipyard Today; Sets Sail for Florida Newest Addition to Princess Fleet En Route to Fort Lauderdale for November 6 Naming Ceremony SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (October 23, 2008) - The newest addition to the Princess fleet, Ruby Princess, was delivered to Princess Cruises today in Monfalcone, Italy by the ship's builder, Fincantieri Cantieri Navali Italiani. The 3,070-passenger vessel has set sail for Fort Lauderdale where she is scheduled to arrive on November 4. The ship will be christened on November 6 by celebrity couple Trista and Ryan Sutter from ABC's hit reality series, "The Bachelorette." In keeping with the launch's "romantic milestones" theme, Princess will help the duo celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary. Ruby Princess will debut a number of new services and amenities on board, including new dining options such as a pub lunch in the Wheelhouse Bar, unique enrichment programs and the new Ultimate Ship Tour. The vessel also includes a dramatic piazza-style atrium featuring small-bite eateries and an ever-changing array of performing street entertainers, Princess' signature adults-only oasis called The Sanctuary, Sabatini's Italian restaurant, Crown Grill seafood and steak house, "Movies Under the Stars" giant outdoor movie screen, and Hearts & Minds wedding chapel. Ruby Princess will then set sail on her maiden voyage from Fort Lauderdale on November 8, beginning a program of Western Caribbean sailings taking passengers to Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Princess Cays. Following her inaugural Caribbean season, the ship will offer a program of Mediterranean voyages in summer 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
