Ruby Princess Arrives in Fort Lauderdale, Will Be Christened this Afternoon

Thursday November 6, 2008
I'm in Fort Lauderdale today for the naming of the new Ruby Princess by Trista and Ryan Sutter from ABC's hit reality series, "The Bachelorette."

The Ruby Princess arrived in Fort Lauderdale on November 4, having crossed the Atlantic from Monfalcone, Italy. The newest ship in the Princess fleet will include many new features, including a pub lunch spot and a "behind the scenes" ship's tour. In addition to the naming of the ship, the festivities will include a Ruby Gala and the wedding of a California couple.

Ruby Princess will set sail on her maiden voyage from Fort Lauderdale on November 8, beginning a program of Western Caribbean sailings taking passengers to Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Princess Cays. Following her inaugural Caribbean season, the ship will offer a program of Mediterranean voyages in summer 2009.
