We needed a break after the hectic holiday season & a cruise out of LA is easy for we So. Cal. people. The price was great for a 7 day cruise. Where else do you get a hotel room, room service, various daily entertainment, all the delicious food, and a new place to experience every day or two without having to spend a fortune or even pack & unpack every few days? The ship is lovely. I did notice ...
We had always wanted to do Mexico and it was the second cruise of our trip making the first was Cuba
The bar staff (making the drinks) were very good but the waitress service to the tables and around the pool areas was very bad. We were in a night club area 1 night waiting for the band to come and play, there were about 4 groups of people there. There were 2 waitresses standing in a corner ...
We had a party of 20 on a New Years Cruise out of Los Angeles. The embarcation process was simple and efficient. Once we boarded the excitement set in. Then came dinner time and everything went down hill from then on. The food was cold and not well prepared. Not enough wait staff. Although, I had communicated I had a severe peanut allergy two months before sailing, it took them over an hour ...
A New Year cruise on Mexican Riviera might sound glamorous, but in fact turned out to be a low quality, poor service, repetitive basic food, cheap entertainment experience.
This was my fifth cruise with Princess, and definitely the last one, since this company keeps rising the fares while providing lower and lower quality services.
***** Kleenex Tissues were not provided in the state room, ...
This is our 5th Princess cruise and each trip seems to be not quite as WOW as the last. I feel something has been lost with group tipping. Staff were friendly enough but didn't seem to go out of their way. If asked, they were fine.
The only Princess shore excursion was to the Hotel California in Todos Santos. Long ride for a very little bit. I was with my mother who is somewhat limited ...
This cruise was my third time aboard the Ruby Princess, having boarded the ship one year ago with the same destination (Holiday Mexican Rivera). My family and I enjoy cruising on mid-sized ships.
Mexico was humid, but nice overall! My favorite port was Cabo. Although I have already been to all the destinations, the cruising experience never really gets old. As a seasoned cruiser, I have ...
This cruise was chosen because I my work closes down Christmas week and I was looking for a cruise and the cruises out of Florida were too expensive so I went with this cruise. I had been on two previous Mexican Riviera cruises so I didn't really go for the destination, just to cruise. Embarkation was very easy and we were on the ship by approximately 11:15am. A local Christmas singing quartet was ...
We had a wonderful family cruise experienced on the Ruby Princess. The embarkation was very easy. If you don't want to wait to drop off luggage, take carry-on suitcases so you could walk right in. We had a porter get our parent's larger luggage, just tip them instead of waiting in line. Their luggage was waiting for them when they got to their cabins so it was very easy.They had different ...
How much worse is a $3,500 family cruise than a $7,000 family cruise? Is it half as good? That was the investigation this December as we 1) had a little bit of bonus money from working hard in 2017, 2) were taking one last nice vacation before I start paying tuition to Fancy School for Smart Girls, and 3) were judging this Princess Cruise against the one pretty nice cruise we had taken previously ...
We just returned from a cruise on the Ruby Princess with the intent of a sea burial for our son's ashes. He was an avid traveler, loved cruising and wanted to be near his favorite Puerto Vallarta. We traveled with our daughter and her family and had requested the burial at sea in advance. We didn't really know what to expect but it could not have been nicer. We were told what day (2nd sea day) ...
