1emerald1 Posted October 18, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Watching the Port of Los Angeles live stream and the Ruby pulled out and then pulled back in again. I hope it's not a serious medical condition for someone on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted October 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Just fixing the parking job a little bit, to center the ship between the lines of the parking space. Don't want the people in the next space banging their doors into the side of the ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecruisequeen Posted October 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Very strange the ship backed out, turned around and backed back in the spot. It was supposed to leave 2 hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted October 19, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Might be a medical issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecruisequeen Posted October 19, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2018 They are 3 hours late now. Maybe a mechanical issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkat007 Posted October 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2018 There was an issue with some of the life boats during an inspection. Captain announced around 3pm that we would pull away from the dock in order to turn around and dock the opposite way so work could be done. As of now we still have not sailed and no further announcements have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted October 19, 2018 #9 Share Posted October 19, 2018 It's not far to Catalina Island. Shouldn't be a problem getting there by morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted October 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Usually, the ship sails out into international waters and does figure 8’s all night until it’s time to pull into Avalon. If sailing directly, it would take about an hour and a half at 18kts to sail from LA to Avalon. Not a big deal other than ports charges to the ship if it sails late. Princess will absorb the additional port charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlp20 Posted October 19, 2018 #12 Share Posted October 19, 2018 By 9:45 PM local they had cleared the breakwater. Note, Ruby just out of dry dock, expected some issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamadetres Posted October 19, 2018 #15 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Could you upload pics of the bar menus? I’m curious if the new cocktail menu is on the Ruby! Also curious about the cost-the princess punch bowl cocktail. thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a lot of chatter on CC about Princess changing the dining times to earlier than stated on the personalizer. Since you are on the ship, can you tell us what your actual dining time is and what time the shows are? Thanks so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkat007 Posted October 19, 2018 #17 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Sure! Anytime dining from 4:30pm-8:30pm (Michaelangelo) and 7:15pm-9:30pm (Da Vinci). 1st seating at 5pm (Da Vinci) and 5:30pm (Botticelli) and 2nd at 8pm (Botticelli). My personalizer did say 6pm but our cards said 5:30pm when we got on the ship. Menus look to be different too. We ate in Crown Grill last night so tonight will be first night in MDR. Show last night was 7 and 9pm (Magic To Do) and tonight is 6:30 and 8:30pm (comedy). Let me know if you would like to know anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casavaha Posted October 20, 2018 #20 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The menus have changed, including some items from the Crown Grill that you must pay for. All in All I liked it. There is also a Coffee and Cones on Lido Deck next to slice pizza. They have an espresso machine to get lattes, etc. New carpet in corridors and new tvs in Room that are on wall opposite bed. We had a great cruise from Vancouver, smooth seas and sun. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabernetlover Posted October 22, 2018 #22 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Do the TVs have a selection of movies and TV shows you can watch at any time you want rather than on the ship's schedule? We just got off the Regal and liked the ability to watch movies when we wanted and not when the ship had them scheduled. On every other ship we've been on, we weren't able to do this, so I'm wondering if this is specific to the Regal/Royal class...or if all the ships have this feature now.
