Ruby Princess is a Grand-class ship from 2008, tied for #11 in the Princess fleet by size, with 15 passenger decks and staterooms and public spaces refreshed in an October 2023 dry dock. Its heart is The Piazza, an Italian-inspired atrium where Good Spirits mixes specialty cocktails, with Vines Wine Bar and the International Cafe nearby. Evenings might start at the steakhouse Crown Grill or the Italian trattoria Sabatinis, move to a Broadway-style show at the Princess Theater, and end at Crooners Bar or Skywalkers Nightclub. Up top, Movie Under The Stars screens films poolside, adults retreat to The Sanctuary or the glass-roofed Lotus Pool, and kids have The Lodge At Camp Discovery, Tree House At Camp Discovery and the Beach House Teen Lounge.
With six sea days on this sailing, there's time for The Piazza, Good Spirits and Princess Links.
