Ruby Princess 2008

Ruby Princess December 2008

We just returned from a Western Caribbean cruise aboard Princess's newest ship the Ruby Princess. We left Ft. Lauderdale on 12/6/08 returning on 12/13/08 with stops in Ocho Rios Jamaica, Georgetown Grand Cayman, Cozumel and a scheduled stop at Princess Cays however seas too rough to tender in so the captain came on and said "Sometimes I have to make an announcement that you don't want to hear, but due to the conditions and the safety of my passengers we will be pulling up anchor and putting back out to sea!" We didn't care as it was just another beach day and the hot tubs cured our need for water. The ship was absolutely beautiful decorated for Christmas and the food was wonderful, unfortunately the scales showed it at the end of the cruise. Lon dressed as Santa Claus on the final formal night and had a great time with the guests' on the ship. We spent this wonderful week with our best friends Steve & Deb Weese with their daughters Katie and Kim starting out at a condo in Ft. Lauderdale before our cruise. We spent a day at a private resort Sunset Grande Jamaica and had fun swimming, using the water slide and playing on the water tramp. In Grand Cayman we went shopping and then spent a relaxing and entertaining day at Margarittaville where all participated in the fun and games. In Cozumel we went to a private beach where the girls went jet skiing and we relaxed in a hot tub which wasn't very hot. When you have the fun we do, enjoy the company, new people that you meet, breathtaking sun rises and sunsets you say to yourself 'What a Wonderful World' Can't wait for the next cruise April....
