Onboard Experience
Accommodation
Princess Cruises want you to feel welcomed as soon as you step aboard and Ruby Princess makes you feel just that. With 7 cabin categories to choose from, you’re truly spoilt for choice. The most affordable option, Interior Staterooms are the perfect place to recharge your batteries. Here, you’ll find either twin beds or a Queen-size bed and all the necessities to make your cruise as comfortable as possible. If you’d like the added benefit of a view, then an Oceanview Stateroom is for you. This option includes all the amenities of an Interior Stateroom. Ruby Princess’ impressive Balcony Staterooms offer the added indulgence of a balcony and provide a little more space than a standard stateroom. On the balcony, you’ll find a table and two chairs, meaning you can sit back, relax and watch the sun go down.
Mini-Suites feature the same amenities as Balcony Staterooms but benefit from the additions of a separate sitting area with a sofa bed, premium bathroom facilities and two flat-panel televisions. Upon arrival to a Mini-Suite, you’ll receive a complimentary welcome glass of Champagne.
Club Class is a premium stateroom category featuring Ruby Princess’ best-located Mini-Suites. Alongside all the great amenities found in all Mini-Suites, Club Class offers premier dining benefits and luxurious perks. Suites are the ship’s most luxurious accommodations. Each spacious Suite features a balcony and includes all the amenities of a Club Class Mini-Suite (plus more living space), a sofa bed, separate seating areas as well as additional perks that range from priority embarkation and disembarkation to a complimentary mini-bar setup and much more.
Dining
On Ruby Princess, you’ll have the option of Anytime Dining or Traditional Dining. Anytime Dining enables you to dine when and with whom you wish whereas Traditional Dining allows you to dine at the same time each day with the same tablemates and waitstaff.
Indulge your appetite in the Main Dining Room with signature dishes from Chef Curtis Stone. Award-winning chef and restauranteur, Chef Stone has curated an incredible menu using the most authentic ingredients. Dine on California artisanal toast with Cali-avocado, sliced stromboli, deep-dish focaccia and signature Neapolitan-style classic. Treat yourself to a handmade gourmet burger in The Salty Dog Grill on Deck 15. Seafood lovers won’t want to miss the succulent shellfish on offer in Crab Shack, housed within Horizon Court on Deck 15.
For the ultimate dining experience, take part in the Chef’s Table Experience which includes pre-dinner cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the galley as well as a unique menu specially designed by your executive chef. Each couple will receive a personalised autographed copy of Princess Cruises’ best-selling cookbook, a handwritten copy of the special menu and a complimentary photo.
Entertainment
With so much to see and do and so many destinations to explore, you’ll never be bored on a Princess cruise.
The Piazza is a hub of activity on Ruby Princess - roving street performers, quaint boutiques, a spiral staircase and several glass-walled lifts provide panoramic views. Visit the International Cafe on Deck 5 for gourmet coffees or marvel at the wine selection at Vines. Take part in the Champagne Art Auction or attend an art history lecture. Take a dip in the sparkling freshwater pools, unwind on a padded lounger or soak in one of the whirling hot tubs. Watch Hollywood blockbusters at the open-air poolside amphitheatre while snuggled under a warm blanket, snacking on popcorn or enjoy dazzling stage sets, artists from around the globe, modern hits and timeless classics at the Princess Theater on Decks 6 and 7.

The program has been designed to offer immersive activities and experiences for the whole family to enjoy.
