Anytime Dining - Ruby Princess

[dm5201]

We will be going on our first cruise coming up March 6 on the Ruby Princess. What are the dining rooms for the Anytime Dining? Which one is the buffet located in?

I can't help you with the names of the dining rooms as I haven't yet sailed on the Ruby but the buffet is a completely separate room and is generally situated on the same level as the pool. If you look at the deck plan for the ship (which you will find on the Princess web site) you will find that the main dining rooms are situated on the lower decks and the buffet is on a much higher deck.

 

Have a wonderful 1st cruise and be prepared to become an addict!!!!

On the Ruby, the Anytime Dining Rooms will be the Da Vinci on Deck 6 and the Michelangelo on Deck 5. On most Princess cruises, one of those dining rooms will have early Traditional seating until 7:30pm, when it will switch to Anytime. The other dining will be strictly Anytime, usually from 5:30pm onwards. Check your daily Princess Patter (which will be in your cabin every evening) to see which one is which.

 

The buffet is the Horizon Court/Cafe Caribe. It is up on Deck 15, behind the pool areas. For breakfast and lunch, both are open. But for dinner, Cafe Caribe is the only venue serving the buffet.

The first night it was a little craze
