Ruby refurbished?

[phabric]

I thought I had read Ruby was going in for refurbishment in April for a month?

 

Any idea if Ruby is going in April?

[MissP22]

It's going in for refurbishing during Sept/Oct 2023.

We are sailing her in April. Word is it will be dry docking in late September possibly in Portland

Thanks

We were on the Ruby in 2018 when she was getting some updates. What a mess.

A family member that had a cruise to Australia and Princess had sold the ship.  The crew were working dismantling some things while they were on the ship.  He wrote to Princess about the mess and that work should not be done while paying passengers were on the ship.  They received a good OBC that paid for an Alaska cruise.

Please consider checking the following thread out, beginning on page 6. @partybarbie graciously shared their initial observations while sailing on the cruise immediately after the October dry dock (SFO-FLL Panama Canal) and it turned essentially into a live blog of their experiences by the end of it.

Just off the Ruby.  Everything looked nice and clean.  New carpeting everywhere I noticed.  I think you will be pleased with with the condition of the ship.

Not all cabins have had their mattress's changed.

The Ruby looks good. The only issue I had was apparently for safety reason, they have installed motion sensor lights under the night stands and in the area between the closet & bathroom. They light up every time you get up or even when you roll over and trigger the light. We had our cabin stewart cover the señor with tape.

A nice idea to prevent stumbling in the dark but a little much especially if you like a dark room.

Wow, it was a neat feature we really liked. It's similar to what we have at home. It's not strong enough to blind anyone but keeps you from stumbling in a dark cabin. I only wish the auto light in the closet area would stay on longer.

That’s good about the nightlight. I always brought a magnetic one from home and stuck it low on the wall. One less thing to pack in January. Thanks Princess!

We had it last month on Emerald Princess.  We liked it as well.  Ditto on the closet light.
