Ruby Princess a Work of Art

Launched in 2008 the Ruby Princess is the newest ship of the Princess Fleet. The moment you step onboard you will know that you are on vacation. The central Piazza is the hub of the ship. Here you will find the Internation Cafe with plenty of snacks and specialty coffees. Nearby is Vines a wine bar where you can sample a vintage of your choice. In the upper decks of the Atrium is the fine shops of Princess. Here you will find plenty of duty free shopping right onboard.

Ruby Princess has a wrap around outdoor promenade where three times around equals one mile. Here you will also find steamer lounge chairs. I personally like this area when I want some quite time to read a book or just take in the sea air.

The ship has four pools and the Lotus Pool is adults only. Plus it has a swim against the current machine for a nice workout. Speaking of working out with all the food available from the Main dining rooms, specialty restuarants and the buffet including the first Caribbean specialty buffet at sea, you might want to avail yourself of the gym and the variety of classes that are offered.

From the casino to the show lounges you will find plenty to keep you busy. So stay tuned as I take you on a mini-tour in upcoming blogs.

When asked what is "Capturing Elusive Light"? Lyndelle responds, "Either in the studio or outside, the most exciting element is the light and how it is used. Take your skills to new levels of creativity by 'turning on the light' for powerful paintings that captivate your audience."
