Ruby Princess Inaugural Moves Up

Princess has announced that its new Ruby Princess will now debut on Nov. 8, one week earlier than previously scheduled. The inaugural voyage will be a seven-day Western Caribbean sailing to Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, Cozumel and Princess Cays.

Passengers booked on the ship's previously scheduled inaugural sailing on Nov. 15 can change their booking to the Nov. 8 sailing. Duplicate bookings have already 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 do so before March 31. Passengers who want to remain on the Nov. 15 voyage do not need to take any action, as their duplicate reservation expires at the end of March.
