Yes the Ruby is here - getting spruced up - we will be taking here to Hawaii Jan 16th (crossing fingers)

I'm going out tomorrow to try to get some pics. Our Ruby cruise was postponed until next November but we will get there eventually....

Is there any information on what they are doing in Dry Dock ?

It is hard to get too close to the ship unless you have an in at the shipyard

Word was work on HVAC, Medallion Net and work on dining rooms and other venues to help with social distancing.  That is about all I was able to get from my PVP.  Hope to see for myself in January

Also probably work related to periodic classification society inspection.

Share is going away and being replaced by Sabatini's. That must be part of what they're doing.

Thanks - we are looking at a Nov 7 Cal Coastal and would have liked to try Share, but Sabatini's is always good.

I suspect that replacing SHARE with Sabatini's is a matter of changing signage and some paint plus getting rid of the smell of rancid pork belly fat. ; )

It appears SHARE is gone from the whole fleet.

There is not mention of SHARE in the latest copy of https://www.princess.com/downloads/pdf/food-and-dining/dining-options.pdf All references to Curtis Stone have been removed from that pdf.

When I clicked on your link I still see references to SHARE. Guess they will disappear.

I think his contract with Princess may be expiring

According to KTVU2 News it's supposed to sail out of Pier 23 (SF) on Halloween. Does that give it time to do major stuff?

She will be leaving Portland on Friday the 15th according to local news

Thanks for posting. We lived in Portland for 35 years and had no clue that Portland has the largest dry dock in the USA. The "journalist" called it a "boat".

I wonder if you have a locally cached copy of the pdf that is old?

[starboardcruiser]

Here is the best photo I could get today. She's such a beauty!

[karylrocks]

Here is mine from the other side, a little closer to the shipyard. We are on the 11/27/22.

[brisalta]

I am surprised that no one has posted drone footage on youtube as has been done in the past when a Princess ship was at dry dock at Vigor Swann yard.

[trbarton]

Looking at the photos it looks like nothing major since you don’t see an equipment on the top deck. Thanks for the photos.

Hopefully they will also add an Alfredos

I wish! But that doesn't seem to be happening. If they were doing that, it seems like they would have updated their website at the same time they replaced Share with Sabatini's. Wonder where they could put Alfredo's on the Ruby?
