cruisingram1 Posted November 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm curious about Princess @ Sea and if one is able to text to others on board without having to purchase an Internet package. And the Internet, if you have used it, is quick. Have two Ruby cruises coming up so will enjoy your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted November 2, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I'm curious about Princess @ Sea and if one is able to text to others on board without having to purchase an Internet package. No Internet minutes or package used when you access the intranet which is what the texting to others is on as well as access to your cabin account and Patters. Princess@Sea is what Princess calls everything you can do on their internet and intranet, not just what is internal to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonoran_cruiser Posted November 3, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Just got off the Ruby Princess on Sunday (from Mexican Riviera cruise). A few things: - Internet speed is definitely slow, and in need of an upgrade. I only did emails, nothing that was graphic or data intensive. - Intranet (the free communication between passengers) is ok, but it has a few quirks since it isn't a "true phone app". Namely, your phone will not buzz, chime, or alert you of a message. You have to check the "messenger", and refresh often. You also need the "id" assigned to any passenger, in order to add them to your messenger contact list. - If you want a quiet bar for a drink or small get together, use Adagio bar on Deck 16 (starboard side, next to Sabatini's).

A start in the right direction. It would be especially handy when traveling with teens who have aged out of kids club but don't want to hang out with parents all day. Hopefully, there will be tweaks to the system and a real app created that works like typical texting. But until then, better than nothing. It should be useful once we figure out how to make it work. Thanks for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonbird Posted November 5, 2015 #21 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Help. I'm packing to join the Ruby going to Hawaii and wonder if I need to bring shampoo and lotion. Please advise. We're in a standard balcony. Also - do I need to bring quarters for laundry? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted November 6, 2015 #22 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Help. I'm packing to join the Ruby going to Hawaii and wonder if I need to bring shampoo and lotion. There is a combined shampoo/conditioner mounted in the shower. There have been many posts that this is not a good product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizonaperson Posted November 6, 2015 Author #23 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Ship Internet still not working. Beautiful day today in San Diego . Haven't used very many of my Internet minutes the system has been down most of the cruise. We are in a Starbucks now catching up on computer stuff. New show tonight magic to do. Last formal night tonight. Good cruise so far. Wait staff in dining rooms(service) are hit or miss,more so than usual. Food we think is still good.
