We have 20 signed up for our Chef’s Table...cross your fingers!

Thank you one and all for your interest in the Ruby Princess Chef’s Table. We officially now have two groups of ten or twenty individuals. A special thank you to Jan Noce for assisting us as lead for the Chef's Table Second Group. Jan can easily share with you her past experience with the Chef Table as we can. So feel free to connect with her if you have any inquiry about this culinary experience. 

Our first priority for embarkation day will be for Roger and I to meet with the 

Maitre’d to hopefully get our 2 groups confirmed for this extraordinary experience.

It is important that you check your stateroom mail box daily, which is located at the entry

of your doorway, as you will be receiving a personal invitation once you are confirmed with a reservation. Again this is a very exclusive invitation as it is limited

to approximately 30-40 individuals per sailing pending each ship.

You may be asked to come to a short 15 minute orientation prior to your Chef Table to meet with the Maitre’d. At that time he will go over the requirements which in the past included wearing closed toed-shoes, so remember to pack this item! 

Please be sure you are carrying your cruise card to dinner as you will be asked to provide your card for payment at the end of the meal. For those not signed up for the wine pairing. You may individually pay for your cocktails or show your beverage card to attain your soda or speciality coffee at the dinner table with your waiter.

Below are the two groups of ten for the hopeful Chef’s Table….
Cross your fingers that Roger and I can get us in on this exclusive reservation.

Happy 2015…We're back!

Wow 2015! Can you believe it’s already been three months since I’ve launched this cruise blog for our group. Time does fly! But Roger and I are very excited for the arrival of the 2015 year.

In the upcoming months, I will be introducing our cruisers as well as offering some helpful information about our cruise and it’s lifestyle. If you have a special request or interests please feel free to drop a note or call out my way so I can get an answer out to you and perhaps even share this bit of information out to everyone else on board if it can help them with their cruise planning.

To keep you connected please check out the following article and submit your email address. I do think this is a very helpful tool.

Happy 2015 and looking forward to having you on board.

Why Should I Sign-Up with the "DAVIS" Group?

Traveling with Friends is comforting! 

So the question proposed is “Why should I sign-up with the Davis Group?” 

Great question...

Although many of you have traveled with our group before there are others who may be new or perhaps still for those not signed up yet, may want to utilize their own travel agent.  Quite simply put... you can use whoever you like, HOWEVER,  doing so will allow you to book the 15 day Hawaiian Cruise on the Ruby Princess but NOT get you into the exclusive speciality of being a part of our Davis Renewal Group AND "all it’s celebratory information, personal attention, events, group discounts, activities and other potential cruise benefits" liked those who have chosen to sign-up with Alex at Innovative Travel Planners.    

Roger and I have decided that we will be renewing our vows on board the ship and the invitation will be exclusive to those signing up through Alex. We are very please, to have Alex as part of our renewal party because we know she and her company have always gone the extra mile for us . Alex started with us at our 15th Anniversary and now we are the lucky ones to have her not only as our travel agent but also along with her husband Ted, have become very good friends.  Alex brings to the team over 40 years of professional travel agency experience as well as being an avid traveler herself. We have the utmost respect for her and appreciate all she has done for our travel groups. 

During this cruise you will have exclusive benefits for being a part of “Our Group”. This is not to say that you have to be with “The Group”.  If you care to have a more solo cruise experience, the choice is absolutely there for you. With our group, you can embark and disembark to your liking. But being affiliated with a group such as ours, can only provide you with a bit more personal attention as well as optional fun activities, familiar camaraderie beyond just boarding the mega Princess Cruise Line as well as other potential perks which may include any discounts or price reductions that we can only hope to get through Princess Cruises. Again let me reiterate that participation in the activities and events is totally optional. Our goal is for you to enjoy your cruise and have a good time. We only ask that you simply respect and honor other guests with consideration and reflect a positive attitude, after all no one likes a whiner. Or as Roger says, if you don’t enjoy having a laugh or two then perhaps we are not the group for you!    

Another benefit for those who enjoy socialization is that being a part of our group allows for special camaraderie and comfort whether you choose to bring a friend or come solo. Many of our friends, have through the years, connected and gotten to know one another and now look forward to being with this group. Knowing that you are a part of this group and guided by both Alex and Diana is also another major perk and I know appreciated by many returnees.   

Alex is very efficient in covering your cruise and ship board needs while Diana makes sure

that the group receives the best benefits possible during this cruise. These may include seeking cruise discounts and benefits whenever possible, private shore excursions, communicating details of cruising, sharing destination information, highlighting the joys of our sea home & lifestyle during our cruise, the comfort of having familiar faces, assisting with personal questions and concerns during this group cruise, and introducing our group cruisers who also bring a number of laughs, stories and experiences to share. 

So join us and c’mon aboard WITH US...its time to begin your cruise with Roger and Diana!  

A Quick Update from Diana

Well this is the week that many of you may have been waiting for...The Special Promotional Deposit Sign-Up for our upcoming 2015 Hawaiian Island Cruise. Yes, it’s here and the deadline is this Friday 

(November 14) at 5pm. 

Thank you so much for your patience and your messages for Alex. I have spoken to Alex this past Monday and she has been very busy coordinating with Princess Cruises.  In fact I can vouch that at one time she had me on one-line and Princess Cruises Rep on the other. What a gal! 

For those who have signed up, thank you so much! Alex will be forwarding to me an updated participant list after this week with their assigned stateroom. Will be looking forward to that and adding more cruiser names to our cruise blog.

Please know that those who have taken advantage of this special group promo have made a wise choice. You now can begin to relax and enjoy the anticipation of embarkation day and dream of the beautiful islands that you will be visiting! 

In the months to come check our cruise blog as I hope to share with you some helpful tips and ideas to make your journey not only fun but comfortable...know that Alex and I are here to answer questions and concerns if you have any.
