The first new feature is the Wheelhouse Bar Pub Lunch. On sea days, Ruby Princess' Wheelhouse Bar is transformed into an English-style pub, serving a selection of traditional fare. A menu of British favorites complement a selection of traditional pub brews. Pub lunch meal service is free of charge and will run from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Suite passengers will love the second new feature - the opportunity to enjoy an exclusive breakfast in Sabatini's from approximately 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. I love dining in Sabatini's, and opening it for breakfast to the passengers staying in the 28 suites is a great idea.
The Ruby Princess is using the atrium-area Vines bar to feature a selection of domestic and imported artisan cheeses. Twelve varieties are featured each day for a nominal fee. Vines also hosts a series of events where passengers can meet members of the ship's staff, and continues to offer wine flights and parings.
The Ruby Princess will debut a number of new ScholarShip@Sea enrichment programs. These programs are aimed to expand passengers' horizons, and include topics as diverse as mixology, party planning, navigation, art history, and astronomy. In addition to being well fed, Ruby Princess passengers can leave the cruise more educated!
Ruby Princess audiences will enjoy two new Princess-produced shows in the ship's theater. "Broadway Ballroom" pairs the songs of hit musicals with dance numbers ranging from foxtrot to rumba, and "Once Upon a Dream" follows a young woman's dreams.
