Morris4me Posted January 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2018 In March, we will be cruising on Princess for the first time, sailing the 7 night California Coastal itinerary. We have cruised RCCL, NCL, HAL, Carnival and Celebrity. My first question is to see if anyone can provide information on what musical/band-type entertainment is currently on Ruby. I'm not looking for production shows. Also, which of the specialty restaurants would you recommend? Really looking forward to this cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukesubsailor Posted January 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Based upon lots of personal experience as well as the majority of posts I have read on Cruise Critic, the Crown Grill is the most popular specialty restaurant. The filet mignon is outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JF - retired RRT Posted January 17, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) In March, we will be cruising on Princess for the first time. My first question is to see if anyone can provide information on what musical/band-type entertainment is currently on Ruby. I'm not looking for production shows. Also, which of the specialty restaurants would you recommend? The entertainment in March will likely be different than it is now. If you like steaks (mostly)...Crown Grill If you like pasta & fish (mostly)...Sabatini's I think Ruby has Share (rather than Sabatini's)...read some reviews, they're all over the place on + & - Edited January 17, 2018 by JF - retired RRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted January 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Although they will probably change this before your cruise, right now, the most active musical entertainment (for Mex Riviera cruises) is the mariachi band, Los Brilliantes. There is a very good magician on board, RJ Lewis. Comedian, Jammin' Jay Lamont Great singer, Paul Baker There is the Hot Funk Party Band, that I did not care for. Crooners has Igor Kisiel, who I did not spend time listening to, and Colin Slater, who was pretty good. There is the Galaxy Duo, another one I did not spend time listening to. Specialty Restaurants: I enjoy the Crown Grill, but I have never tried Share -- the menu does not appeal to me, and I have never found Curtis Stone to be appealing.

nukesubsailor Posted January 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 18, 2018 How were the lamb chops, if you had those? I have not tried the lamb chops in the Crown Grill. I tried a lamb chop many years ago in a famous steakhouse in Austin, Texas. I quickly learned that I have a strong dislike for the taste of lamb and will never order it again.

getoutandlive Posted January 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 18, 2018 When we were on the Ruby almost a year ago we ate at Share and LOVED it. We had pork ravioli, corn soup, duck, lobster tails and steak. Each course was fantastic, everything they made they did it right! If you can take a look at the menu and find things you like, I'd say give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted January 18, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The menus for Share and Crown Grill are on the Princess website. Get Out And Live is right, check the menus out. For me, there were only two courses at Share that had any selections that looked edible, which is why I've never been! But others have much different tastes than my pedestrian "meat and potatoes" preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrak Posted February 15, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Wow...still Magic To Do...that's all we've seen for years it seems...lol I "think" it's only been around for about 2 years or so. I was looking forward to seeing it on our last cruise as we have never seen the show but "life" interfered and we missed the show the one day it was offered. (I thought they could have offered it more than one day on a 28 day cruise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alimariecruisin Posted February 15, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 15, 2018 But Magic To Do is interesting...not a bad show...we've just been on lots west coast cruises (we live here and it's cheaper not to fly) so I'm ready for a change...soon I hope!

joeyancho Posted February 15, 2018 #16 Share Posted February 15, 2018 How were the lamb chops, if you had those? Awesome! Also the lamb chops on the MDR are very good. The come with the trilogy dinner. But you can ask your server to just bring the lamb chops and they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
