The new Ruby Princess will be delivered earlier than previously expected, announced Princess Cruises. The line’s next new ship will now debut one week prior on November 8, 2008, creating a new inaugural voyage, a seven-day Western Caribbean sailing taking passengers to Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Princess Cays. The 113,000-ton vessel is a sister ship to Emerald and Crown Princess.
Passengers booked on the ship’s previously scheduled inaugural cruise on November 15 will have the opportunity to change their booking to the new November 8 sailing if they wish. Duplicate bookings have been made for all passengers booked on the original cruise, guaranteeing the same cabin on the new voyage. Those who wish to change sailings can call their travel agent or Princess by March 31, 2008.
Ruby Princess will feature an inaugural season of Western Caribbean cruises roundtrip from Fort Lauderdale, followed by a program of Mediterranean voyages in summer 2009. Fares for the maiden voyage season begin at $699 per person, double occupancy.
For reservations consult your travel agent or visit Princess Cruises’ web site.

1Will you have any trips going out either of the last two weeks of december. To Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Princess Cays. If you do how soon could I book, it will be the first cruise for my husband and I .
By the way Princess Ruby Alieen (Keene) Permenter is my real name. Even though I’m not a real Princess, I’m sure being on your ship would make me feel like one.
It would be to cool to be on you ship and get a picture of my blonde hair blowing in front of the Princess emblem. I could kid with my family that the ship was name after me. lol
Looking forward to your reply. Princess Permenter
