Ruby Princess rates higher overall than 33% of the ships we track. Public areas is its strongest showing. The weak spot is dining — and reviewers say it is getting worse.

The one caution
7.4out of 10 for dining
Higher than only 31% of ships. The typical ship scores 7.76.
Of the 367 reviewers who described dining changing over time, 240 said it got worse.
Two are good without being remarkable: public areas (higher than 65% of ships) and fitness (higher than 52% of ships).
Family sits in the middle of the fleet too, but only 62 people scored it, so treat it as a hint.
Nine fall below the fleet: ship quality, activities, value, disembarkation, cabins, embarkation, service, entertainment and dining. They rate higher than 31% to 49% of ships.
Cabin grade barely matters here. The inside, oceanview, balcony and suite grades all score between 8.37 and 8.60. Pick on price and position, not on rating.
Reviewers named 12 places by name. These 3 are the ones where knowing changes anything — the other 9 are all liked by 52% to 75% of the people who mentioned them.
First-time cruisers (210 of 234), seniors (78 of 95) and couples (52 of 55).
No group described it as a poor fit.
