Diana's Pre-Packing Tips for Hawaii Cruise on the Ruby Princess!



I thought I would share some helpful tips from my recent visit aboard the Ruby Princess. On this 15 day cruise being organized and efficient can alleviate that “over packing” and “whoops I forgot syndrome issue”. Listed below are some possible helpful pointers to assist in this pre-cruise task... 

There will be 3 Formal
Nights...which means tux or a dark suit and tie for the men.
For the women folks formalwear can be that little black dress or for fun time take out that glittery long New Year’s evening gown for the glitz night. Those not wanting to dress up can settle for room service or head to the Buffet. The option is of course yours! 

12 Smart Casual Days. The key here is mix and match work style outfits and to 
     accessorize your casual wear with shirts, tops, pants, skirts scarves and jewelry for 
     the women folks. And for the men? Remember no shorts or sandals in the dining 
     room. Hear that Roger and Reagan! Collared Shirts, Big Boy long pants & shoes!

✪  As we cruise towards the Hawaiian Islands it can be come very humid. But   
     remember on the cruise ship the air conditioning are going at full blast so remember 
     to bring a sweater or light cover-up top. And be mindful that as you walk on the 
     deck it can be extremely windy and cool!

There are laundry facilities on board the ship. So remember to bring you detergent 
    pods and dryer sheets. There are ironing boards as well in the laundry room for touch 
    ups!

Plenty of pools and jacuzzi’s to enjoy - So don’t forget your swim suit and cover-up as 
    well as your sandals or flip flops.

The toiletries in the bathrooms are very minimal. They have a shampoo conditioner 
     and a bath gel that is refilled in a dispenser. So if you have your favorite products, I 
    would bring them along.

The wall unit hair dryer on board for the women may not be up to your standards so 
     if you use one I would bring one from home. 

There seems to be plenty of hangers on board, but a helpful tip is to bring some of 
     your outfit pre-arranged on disposable wire hangers...I like to set-up my outfits by each 
     day. This will alleviate any extra clothing for that over stuffed suitcase. Karen and Buzz 
     love their foldable garment bag for this option!

✪  You can also count on the Ruby Princess Ship to have shopping opportunities.
      Look for discounts in your welcome booklet and daily promo flyers in the Princess 
      Patter Newsletter.

Our 25th Anniversary Renewal Ceremony will be Alohawear ...which means 
    Aloha Shirts and Sundress/Hawaiian Style Dresses with sandals or flip flops. We are 
    not doing a formal white wedding. C’mon we did that at our 5 year renewal in Vegas, 
    remember?

Wanna be a “fashonista and color coordinated” for our Renewal Celebration? Pick 
    any color shades of BLUE, like the sea, GREEN like the tropical Island, WHITE like 
    the white caps of the waves, BLACK like the volcanic sand beaches and you will fit 
    right in!   

  And if you like, you can shop while in the Hawaiian islands as our renewal ceremony 
    celebration will be held on Monday, October 12th which is the day after we 
    leave Lahaina Maui --- the final Hawaiian Island Port of Call!
