What they don't tell you about cruising
on the television commercials are the lines.
There is a line to
get in line to go through security.
And then another line to check in.
followed by a line to board the ship
Then there are the lines for
the elevators and the line for the buffet. But, all of that is to be
expected, they have to get 3200 of us processed, onboard, fed
(standing in line works up quite an appetite) and to our staterooms
within a 3 hour time period.
Then comes the exploring. The Ruby
Princess is a good size ship. It's like a small town, complete with
dining rooms, bars, game rooms, casinos, chapels, gym, 3 swimming
pools, shopping, staterooms, and so much more. It typically takes
3-4 days to get completely oriented … right before they kick you
off.
We did the usual first day stuff.
Unpacked, watched part of a Saints game on the big screen at the
pool,
met our our dinner companions, Previewed some art we'd like (but
won't) afford,
saw a Princess info-mercial show in the
Theater complete with singer and dancers,
wandered the shops and in bed by 10pm.
Gearing up for tomorrow – Bahama Cays.
