Bon Voyage, Eldon! We just purchased the 16-day Hawaiian cruise aboard the Ruby Crown. Gonna go back to watch your videos so we know what to look forward to. Have a great trip!
Your video randomly popped up--have a great cruise! I was on this ship last year from Vancouver down to LA and I will be on it again in just over two weeks; am looking forward to not having to work:)
Thanks for sharing the port & boarding process! We are going on this same cruise for my parents 50th wedding anniversary in February & it takes some of the anxiety away, especially with 17 people. I will look like a professional.
Yes, arriving after noon time you avoid traffic from all the Early Birds arriving and Passengers disembarking. Just get there before 2pm …Room deck hall carpets: it looked like one side ( uneven?) had the loopy design outlined in a dark blue? color and the even numbered side carpet design had yellow outline on its design???
You've probably done this already but make resos for the restaurants you want as they can sell out quickly! (found out the hard way last cruise). That's a great pool! luv it! Oh how much was the platinum package!?
@Lealelan I just found out tonight that the rest of the cruise is booked for all premium dinners 😕 I can still make regular dinner reservations, just not the specialty ones. The platinum package was 640$
@@Eldons_Excursions thx for cost. Didnt realize that was the cost of the package. Good job on gamble cruise - we need to do (just never can go when we get offers). Im sorry the speciality restaurants were all sold out. I was surprised our last cruise. I dont usually like to book that far in advance but will next time. Maybe you can get specialty restaurant offerings in the MDR (know they do it for steakhouse) at no cost? Hope so!
@mcgovernsandra Thank you! I drove my personal car to the port. The shuttle that drove by was the port shuttle. They'll pick you up in the lot and bring you to the check-in area.
@@Eldons_Excursions - Oh ok. By the way this video much better video quality throughout the entire ship. Hopefully the rest of the trip the video quality will be as good as this one.
@@goldensun168 As for the cabin, you gotta pay full price, yeah. If a person joins you in the cabin, they have to pay for taxes and fees or help you with the cost of the cabin 😜
@cynthialou-tl6fw I tried booking specialty dinners tonight and they are all booked for the entire week 🙁 I can still make reservations for regular dinners.
@@Eldons_Excursions You know what you could do to get some meals out of your Speciality dining is to order from the app. You can order some things from Crown or Sabatini’s through the Ocean Now app. I have seen others order the Steak or Lasagna etc and get it delivered to wherever you are. Might not be full menu but something.
Is the muster easy to do? Do you do the muster in a certain location? My husband and I booked dinner at the Crown Grill for our 2025 cruise. Do they have one on that ship and if so are you going to try it? Have fun! Lucky duck!
@fw7993 yeah, the muster is really easy. I forgot to mention that important part in the video 😅 They'll have different muster stations to scan your medallion. On your app, it should say what muster station you're at. Once you scan in, you have to watch a safety video (5 min) and then you're set to cruise!
Great tour, thanks so much!
@@cvonh7305 Hey, no problem! Thanks for joining me 😊

Very true, plenty of time to get on the ship and have lots of fun! 😁
Ohh, the carpet designs could be slightly different 🤔

@Lealelan yeah, the steak house is no cost. I might be able to do a walk-up since I'm by myself. We'll see
Great video! who did you use for shuttle company? We travel next month and don't want to compare shuttle cost to Uber. thanks!
@mcgovernsandra Thank you! I drove my personal car to the port. The shuttle that drove by was the port shuttle. They'll pick you up in the lot and bring you to the check-in area.
Eldon - What is that he added to your drink at the 24:05 mark? Also hopefully you get a chance to use the hot tubs on deck.
It was coffee beans 😁
@@Eldons_Excursions - Oh ok. By the way this video much better video quality throughout the entire ship. Hopefully the rest of the trip the video quality will be as good as this one.
@@Dlee4000 Yeah, the quality is rough when going live
We will be on a California coast cruise in November on the Ruby Princess. Have a great time Eldon.
@@goldensun168 You're going to have a blast!!
@@Eldons_Excursionswhen you are single cruiser did you have to pay for 2 people?
@@goldensun168 As for the cabin, you gotta pay full price, yeah. If a person joins you in the cabin, they have to pay for taxes and fees or help you with the cost of the cabin 😜
Have you got to have a speciality dining yet. Besides the Sushi. I hope you can get in without reservations. You did a very nice tour of ship.
