I just returned from a 10-day Alaska Cruise on the Ruby Princess. If you think they won’t allow men into the dining rooms wearing shorts, you are dead wrong. We saw a number of men arrive for dinner in shorts and no one said a word. From what we could tell, pretty much anything goes on this ship. I’ve cruised a few times before, pre-COVID, and things were much better organized, service was better, food better, etc. I will never cruise on Princess again.

Thanks everyone! This sounds much more efficient than what I recall when disembarking from a Princess cruise in Acapulco, but granted that was quite a few years ago. Your responses have helped me to schedule my return flight to Montana!

Our cruise booking confirmation shows "San Francisco 7:00 AM" 7 a.m. for the day we arrive in San Francisco at the end of the cruise. I haven't cruised in years so only remember that it can take quite a while to disembark and get your luggage before you head to the airport. How much time would you recommend that I allow for disembarkation? (i.e. From the time Princess publishes on my booking confirmation as "San Francisco" until the time I will be off the ship, have my luggage in hand, and grab a cab or Uber to the airport?)
