10 Day Alaska

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Ruby Princess

The first cruise we ever took was on the old Dawn Priincess, So Princess has a special place in our hearts. For that reason it hurts to see how far they have slipped in quality. This 10 day cruise had perhaps the worst entertainment we have ever seen. From a female comedian who was terrible--an impersonator who wasen't even close. One "showroom" star was a guy who had been performing in the lounge ...

Terrible ship and crew

We sailed to Alaska on the Ruby Princess and it was one of the worst trips of our lives. Our stateroom was directly across from a crew service area, and four days into our trip, a pipe in that service area began leaking water into our room. We noticed the wet carpet before leaving on an excursion and notified guest services. When we opened the door to our stateroom in the evening, we were met with ...

We chose Princess Ruby because it sails from San Fransisco. We liked many activities and entertainment. But very disappointed that it has very limited Asian food that you can only find in buffet area. Even the limited Asian food tended to be Indian food or Tai food. The bar quality are not consistent. Sometime are strong while other time are week. Coffee some time are stale while other times ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We had a great time on the cruise. I am diabetic and was happy to see sugar free desserts. I love my coffee and was glad to see the expresso being served. My wife is not fond of sweet desserts and was glad to have so much fresh fruit available. All of the staff were so nice and caring, always willing to help. I was really impressed with them all; waitstaff, housekeeping and the crew. Our ...

Alaska is always nice but ship needs maintenance.

This was a long planned family cruise including my mother, my brother, and both of our families. Fourteen of us, in all, including three great grandchildren. It was a first cruise for the grand and great-grand generations. The rest of us are spread out from Ruby to Elite in Princess’ Captain’s Circle/Medallion program. We had great weather at all of our ports. The only weather impact was fog ...

Very Disappointing Cruise

We chose this cruise because we could drive to the port of San Francisco. Ten day Alaska cruise. We had a balcony and the Premiere package. We have been on six previous cruises - Carnival, twice on Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and this would be the second Princess. This is a long review - just too many disappointments in most areas. We were so disappointed with the service, food, ...

Cruise was ok but, could or should have been a lot better.

We choose this cruise mostly because it sails out of San Francisco and we live within an hour of SF. Also, we have always wanted to do an Alaskan cruise and not having to deal with air travel or hotels was a big plus. This was our first Princess cruise. Our previous cruises have been on Royal Caribbean. Here are some things I preferred on the Ruby Princess. 1. The drinks. Don’t know ...

I sailed with Princess to Alaska in the past and I brought my whole family to experience Alaska with Princess this time. This cruise did not disappoint, and my family was able to see more sea life such as whales, fish jumping, and a truly massive salmon in the wild on this cruise than they had seen before on any vacation. My family is already planning our next princess cruise back to Alaska. ...

Ship's staff culture is unbothered, uninterested, and impolite

We have sailed the Ruby twice in the past year (two different itineraries) and are sad to report that it has continuously gotten worse. The other negative reviews you see below, for the Ruby, are not lying. The ship's condition, staff, and dining needs a major overhaul. We are Captain's Circle Platinum so I am not just being biased to another cruise line when I write this negative review. This ...

We were so very disappointed with this cruise from the outset to our return! First, the princess app was the first disappointment. it oftentimes did not work and was ineffective. we tried doing everything right the first time to avoid any problems, but management of the app was just not on top of things. (a) i could not get my grandson into the green lane; i called several times, and we were ...
