After a nice trip to the Florida Keys, Mike and I woke up ready to board our ship and start our 10 day cruise to the Caribbean. We boarded the ship at about 1 p.m, and went to the Cafe Caribe for a little lunch.
Our cabin was on the Baja deck, B754. It was located at the very back of the ship, an aft "fantail" cabin. We liked it because we could look out over the wake, and see out over both sides of the ship. What a great view!
The Ruby Princess is the newest ship in the Princess fleet. She has over 900 staterooms, 5 restaurants, a beautiful atrium, shops, 5 swimming pools,a library, internet cafe, a theater for production shows, "Movies Under The Stars", and lots of gorgeous lounges. She held over 3000 passengers!
Our ship was set to sail at 5 p.m., but first we had to have our lifeboat drill. We all had to report to our muster stations and put on our lifejackets.
There were six other ships at Port Everglades the day were left. When it was time to set sail, there were already three ships ahead of us.
Mike and I went to the Outrigger Bar for the sailaway, and met a few friends we had met on the internet. I am part of an online group of people who discuss cruising, on a website called "Cruise Critic". It is a nice group of people, and we have made several good friends. We enjoyed watching the skyline of Fort Lauderdale fade away as we sailed toward the Caribbean. Princess Cays is next!
