Princess Offers Three-Day Samplers on Ruby Princess
Published on: April 6, 2009 and credited by travelpulse.com
Princess Cruises has added two three-day sampler sailings aboard the Ruby Princess from Fort Lauderdale. Departing on Dec. 14 and Dec. 17, the getaways each offer a call at the line’s private island, Princess Cays. The sailings replace a previously scheduled wetdock. “We were able to cancel an unnecessary maintenance period scheduled for Ruby Princess and turn it into a great opportunity for passengers to try our newest ship,” said Jan Swartz, Princess executive vice president. “These sampler sailings are a rare opportunity to experience the Princess product on a quick getaway. We think our passengers will appreciate the great value of these mini cruises, plus the chance to escape just before the busy holiday period.”
Launched in November 2008, the 3,080-passenger Ruby Princess features a piazza-style atrium, Sabatini’s Italian restaurant, the Crown Grill steak house and the new Wheelhouse Bar pub lunch. The ship offers the relaxing adults-only Sanctuary, poolside movies on a jumbo screen, and a behind-the-scenes option called the Ultimate Ship Tour. Fares for the new sailings begin at $249 for the Dec. 14 departure and $299 for the Dec. 17 cruise. For more information, call your Princess Certified Commodore specialist.
