Another Bucket List trip completed

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Ruby Princess

A transit of the Panama Canal has been on my Bucket List for many years. To finally do it was a dream come true! And to sail on a ship leaving Galveston, Texas, my "home" port was doubly exciting. And a Princess ship at that! How lucky can one person get. As expected from Princess, the ship was clean, the crew was wonderful, the food was delicious no matter where we chose to eat, and the ...

Took Alaskan Cruise in July 2022 on Ruby, had the worst experience. Embarkation was nightmare, had to wait for about 3 hours to board. With COVID epidemic in full swing, this was a traveler's nightmare. Firstly, peak summer, long lines and fellow passengers in close proximity. Took even more than an hour to get to the boat deck from Port. Due to this frustrating experience, promised never to use ...

We have sailed with Princess in the past and were anxious to get back on board. We left San Francisco rather late (not sure what the holdup was), burt experienced going under the Golden Gate Bridge at twilight! How crazy was that! Then it was off into the wild blue seas, which got my husband completely seasick for the next two days. Regardless, the Medallion system worked great, although I ...

Great cruise experience. Helped by great weather. Were able to sunbathe for all but the last day. Despite embarcation being at the old pier we found it seamless and worth the effort on the app up front. The app and wifi worked perfectly. Food was superb in the MDR we used the one near vines. Good quality. Perfect portion.sizes and brilliant service. We went to Sabatinis twice. Food and ...

We decided to take a short cruise to see how safe we feel sailing again. We figured with an Itinerary that started in San Francisco (a short 1.5 hour flight from us) sailed to San Diego and then Ensenada and then back to SF we could always get off the ship and fly back home if we got nervous. The worst part of the cruise was before we even got on the ship. We had been assigned a boarding time ...

This cruise was a makeup cruise from the beginning of the pandemic, and we had a cruise credit to use. My daughter was traveling with me, and she hadn't been to California, so we chose this cruise. Embarkation took forever. We were in line for 2.5 hours. The ship was late disembarking the prior cruise ( we think) so it delayed us getting on. Once on board, I have nothing but great things to say. ...

My parents had planned a Panama Canal cruise shortly before they died ... at 68 years young ... so at 73, I fulfilled their dream. I needed a chance to get out of the house and out of all my obligations and thought a 15-day cruise with lots of days at sea would fill the bill and it did! The Princess crew is fantastic and the food divine. Small portions and my commitment to getting in 7000 steps a ...

This was our 11th cruise overall, but our first Princess cruise. It was easily one of the best cruises we've ever been on. The service and food was outstanding, except for breakfast in the dining room. The service for breakfast was always very slow and I was surprised that they never adjusted their hours for when we were in port or on disembarkation day. However, despite that, the food we had ...

This was our first cruise going thru the Panama Canal. What a wonder! Leaving San Francisco turned out to be very efficient. Princess crew waiting at baggage to direct you to waiting room and bus. First port was Cabo San Lucas where we took the whale watching excursion. Turned out to be our favorite! Large clean boat with great crew. Tip: best area to be is top front of boat to spot whales. ...

I loved the naturalist Mark Harris's ...
