Unfortunately we did not enjoy the Princess Ruby as the staff seemed tired, did not want to listen, and the vibe wasn't there. The restaurant and shops staff were amazing, the laughed and smiled, but it seemed staff employed by Princess were not as happy to serve. With 9 seas days on a 16 days cruise, there was sufficient entertainment but not enough places to sit in a quiet place to read, in my case, have access to a power socket and type away. The ports were amazing, however any arranged shuttle buses were under resourced, especially embarkment and disembarkment.

For us, the ship was perfectly sized, not too big, not too small - just right. Some of the fittings (such as our bathroom) were beginning to look a little dated - but this did not in any way impact the enjoyment of our holiday. The staff were amazing, Food was superb - probably the best we have had on a cruise in many years. The cruise director and her team were excellent and, the range of activities was good. We would definitely sail on the Ruby Princess again. All round we had a fabulous holiday.

Airport pickup at SFO was late and had to chase, finally arrived 1 hour later. The Spero Hotel is located near the Drug addicts and homeless so not very pleasant. The hotel is very old and the rooms not well maintained. Most importantly the safe's were not working in any of the rooms. Ruby Princess is 17 years old and although in general is not terrible its showing its age. But the older ships do tend to smell of sewerage when on the open decks. Disappointing that the dress code was not adhered to in restaurants and bars in the evening, and not enforced by Princess. Post cruise return to the airport was an absolute calamity with hundreds of passengers queuing to get on the coaches (2 hours for us) with no constructive organisation by Princess. Many passengers were panicking they were going to miss their flights.
