Dave and Lauras Dream

Dreaming of early retirement & travel

Off to an Alaskan Ruby Princess Cruise!

Were off from Seattle to Alaska on the Ruby Princess Cruise ship. This cruise is for David, I am not a cold weather type of person, but on a cruise ship, at least I sleep in comfort every night, so it is a great compromise, luxury and ruggedness.

We heard from all our friends that the Princess cruise ships are the best for Alaska, you get to go to Glacier Bay, which we really want to see a Glacier up close.

Ruby Princess Casino

This is a beautiful and luxury ship, there are many fine details that make this is a higher quality cruise, than the previous cruises we have been on.
This is the spiral staircase down into the main area of the cruise ships with a dance floor and music and a café with stores on each end on both floors. It was really fancy and I felt like royalty.
A bar area off of the lobby.
We enjoyed the explorers club – where we attended many champagne Art shows, but bought nothing.

Walking around the Ruby Princess

We did NOT get a balcony, even thought every one told us to. I will report back if this is a huge mistake. I just do not think I can be unhappy here, it feels like a dream life.

      I’m telling you I feel rich, there are so many little fancy details and the floors are made up of mosaic marbles and gold trim everywhere. Nice ship.

      I know, I have been on a cruise before with Holland America, and it was nice but not opulent like it was on the Ruby Princess.

      It sure is. Even though we only have an interior room, it is super cozy and the boat rocking at nite in all the dark with no window. We are both sleeping like a baby!

        I must’ve forgotten somehow… might’ve been the marble and gold and the circular staircase. Too gorgeous!

    I have heard this cruise is amazing and you are going to love it despite the cooler weather. I look forward to seeing more photos of this trip. We used to camp often in Alaska when we lived in the Yukon. Fond memories:)

      David wants to camp in Alaska, this was a compromise, this way I get to sleep in a bed and stay warm at night, he get to go to Alaska and we both are super happy.

      We are not the royalty type, never wanted to be royal or famous….were a little rougher around the edges, but it is fun for a week.
