Board Games - Ruby Princess

[fridaythecat.u.k.]

Hi everyone

 

I have searched the boards for the answer to my question, but the relevant posts are a couple of years old and don't mention the Ruby.

 

I am addicted to Backgammon and my DH loves chess (although he has to re-teach me to play it every time we try to play as I forget all the rules :eek:).

 

Anyways, does the Ruby have backgammon and/or chess boards available for everyone to play? Are they in the library? If so, do people take them out for their own use at the start of the cruise? I normally play on my laptop, but don't think I will be schlepping it with me for the cruise, so do you think I'd be better off buying a "travel" board to play? :confused:

 

Sorry for all the questions - just a curious newbie :D But I know that you guys out there will as be knowledgeable as ever :)

Yes they were in the library on our Ruby cruise to be checked out.

Yes they were in the library on our Ruby cruise to be checked out.

 

Thanks, Colo! Did you have to get there early, or did they have a few boards?

They had a few but remember that was on the inaugural in Nov so I hope they have kept up the stock. ;)

I would get there early just in case, I am sure the demand is so different on each cruise.

Yes, they have board games including backgammon and chess is the library. Check on the roll call for your cruise, you might find an opponent.

Good idea, thanks for the tip! Have already "introduced" myself on the roll call, so will try this out :)
