Photos from Ruby Princess 3/31 - 4/7

This cruise was mainly just to get away for a few days to relax and rest so we did not do many activities. In addition we ate all our meals in the buffet (except for our first night's dinner, when we ordered room service). Instead I will just post a few pictures from around the ship.

Oh, and Princess Patters can be found here. Enjoy!

Let's start off with the atrium...

Thank you! The Ruby is a lovely ship.:)

Let's get the stateroom tour out of the way next. I will say we were pleasantly surprised with the size of our inside stateroom. As you can see from my signature, we are Disney Cruise lovers so we are used to larger staterooms and cabin baths, but we really loved the layout of our Ruby Princess stateroom, and with the exception of the incredibly tiny shower we had no issues at all with it!

Our bed turned down for the night

The desk area, which we utilized often during the course of our cruise

Stateroom hallway

My absolute favorite part of our stateroom - the very roomy walk-in closet area (five suitcases worth of "stuff" fit here with room to spare)!

The dreaded teensy shower

Plenty of shelf space near the sink

Dining areas up next

Michaelangelo Dining Room (please note this was taken when I went down to check out a sale...that I walked away from empty-handed, the horrors!)

Da Vinci Dining Room

Cafe Caribe seating (we switched back and forth between here and Horizon Court)

Afternoon tea delivered to our stateroom (my favorites were the scones and jam, and the strawberry bread)

We barely utilized the pools, but I did enjoy the Lotus Spa pool and hot tubs twice during the week.

Sadly I did not get a daytime shot of the Calypso Reef pool. :(

A little bit of nightlife. We enjoyed Explorers Lounge one evening for about 30 minutes, and I did go to an event in Club Fusion. Oh, I also had a drink up in Skywalkers one late afternoon.

A quick peek into the spa and gym.

The gym is rather large, but I just took a shot from the entrance

Treatment waiting area

I should have included this in the atrium photos. From the first formal night, the infamous Champagne Waterfall. Commodore Giuseppe Romano with the first champagne pour.

And some lovely shots of the Ruby Princess while in port.

We had a switch of ports, and ended up in Nassau first

The best I did in St. Maarten (Ruby Princess is behind Thomson Dream and in front of Celebrity Equinox...a Ruby sandwich!)

Here she is in St. Thomas...

And of course at Princess Cays

I enjoyed all of my time during the week onboard and in the ports!

Thank you! The Ruby is a lovely ship.:)

You are welcome! She certainly is lovely!

Thanks for the great pictures!

Absolutely beautiful :)

Thanks! And you are welcome!

Just as an FYI' date=' we were in stateroom B733. And it looks like I do have a photo of the Calypso Reef pool after all!

Thanks for posting the pictures. We've cruised the Ruby twice. She's a beautiful ship.....:):):)

Excellent photos. We loved the Ruby when we were on her for our Grand Mediterranean cruise last summer! We were upgraded to a Mini Suite and it was fantastic!

BTW the Bathroom was quite a bit larger with a bathtub / shower that was quick roomy.

The uncovered balcony was not a problem at all as we spent some nice nights under the stars.

Great ship photos. Thanks for sharing.

Nice photos, thanks.

Nice photos.

Keith

Thanks! We will be on the Ruby in an inside cabin. It was great seeing what they look like.

Nice Ruby Photos! We sailed he once and loved our experience, probably one of our favorite ships!

Ken

Very nice photos! Thanks for sharing. They bring back great memories!

Thank you for sharing all of these photos.

Keith

Thank you for the feedback and kind remarks. Even a month and a half after the cruise, I still think back fondly on the Ruby. We will definitely sail her again!

Your photos were very good...thanks for during them...and we agree with you about the interior stateroom, and the tiny shower. :):):):)

Thanks for sharing. It helps pass the time until I cruise on the Ruby in March.
