Carolina Cruisr Posted November 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Looking for an opinion on Vista Suites for the Ruby Princess. I am currently holding D737. I cannot imagine anyone of them would be bad. Just hoping for some updated photos perhaps. I am aware of the beam on the aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle76 Posted November 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The Dolphin Vista Suites (D736/D737) are our favorite cabins. Only 4 cabins aft on that deck and very quiet. Great balcony (beam you may have heard about not an issue). Two comfortable teak loungers and large round table with four chairs. In a suite you can order dinner nightly from the main dining room menu and eat on your balcony, which we did every night (outside of dining in the specialty restaurants).

It is just a short cruise but thought it was a win win. 5 days of nothing to do but enjoy the suite and Princess gives us FCC for the amount of the cruise. You have been helpfull but I just cannot help myself.;) Please do not take offense. Roll Tide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmh60 Posted November 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Have had three Vista Suites. Two on Ruby and one on Grand. They were all fabulous. We love looking over the wake. All suites have been on Dolphin Deck. Very nice cabins and balconies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Dolphin deck Vista Suites, and I especially love the special room service from the dining room menu. Really fun and funny about "Roll Tide!". Thanks WarEagle76 for taking it well:) Edited November 28, 2013 by Cruisin'Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 81Zoomie Posted November 29, 2013 #9 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Looking for an opinion on Vista Suites for the Ruby Princess. I am currently holding D737. I cannot imagine anyone of them would be bad. Just hoping for some updated photos perhaps. I am aware of the beam on the aft. We will be your neighbors in D736 on Jan 9th. Booked yesterday... Great promotion. I'm treating my Mom. It's her 100th cruise so we will be celebrating many years of happy cruising :-) My husband and I will be on the Crown in the D736 this Saturday. It looks like a great cabin. We are looking forward to watching the wake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a suite you can order dinner nightly from the main dining room menu and eat on your balcony, which we did every night (outside of dining in the specialty restaurants). Since you have been in both cabins I have another question. When booking the agent suggested we take D737 as it was larger than D736. The web site indicates D737 at 460 sq ft and D736 at 338 sq ft. Just curious.....no I am not moving in or planning to purchase the cabin long term. Just thought that was rather interesting as they appear to look the same on the diagram.

We will get off the Ruby for a few days and then we will return to the Crown on Jan 18 for 2 weeks. Congrats to your Mom! We will see you in January!

beannie Posted November 29, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I have some pictures of that suite taken in 2009 if you want them. It is the best suite we have ever had. The balcony is to die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promise to take good care of it for you:D Any one know if the vistas down on emerald deck (E732/733) at identical as these on Dolphin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserkenn Posted December 4, 2013 #24 Share Posted December 4, 2013 On other grand class ships (I know for sure the Sapphire and the Star) the balcony is much more narrow for the Emerald deck Vista suites. I believe this would also be the case on the Ruby. The narrower balcony is still nice, but if there was a choice, I would take Dolphin deck for the more spacious balcony. Bon voyage :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gklake Posted April 17, 2014 #25 Share Posted April 17, 2014 This is Roll Tide Girl, yes, it was a fabulous game. Congrats. Looking at OS. A753 on Ruby. Do you know anything about this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
