For years, Princess has been dubbed the “Love Boat,” & the 2 day inaugural cruise for the Ruby Princess’ on November 6th, exemplified just that. The theme was “romantic moments & milestones.” Hundreds of guests dressed in formal & Ruby Red attire, & the ship’s crew surrounded the stage, while “Romance on the Ruby” contest winners Danielle Vurpillat & Kip Hickman were married. Gavin MacLeod, a/k/a Captain Stubing from the Love Boat, walked the bride down the aisle, while Trista & Ryan of “The Bachelorette” were the wedding attendants. The ceremony was short & sweet, with Princess offering up pink champagne & Ruby red martinis to toast the bride & groom. As the sun began to set, the Ruby Princess was christened by Trista & Ryan, who were also celebrating their 5th wedding anniversary. Although several areas were roped off for the media, we were able to get some nice photos of the event. Ruby Princess Inaugural video
