Passengers sailing aboard the new Ruby Princess can get an exclusive glimpse at the behind-the-scenes action onboard a ship. The tour will be offered one or twice per cruise on a sea day, and allows guests to explore the engine control room, medical center, back stage area, galley and food production areas, print shop, laundry, photo lab, bridge and other areas typically only seem by the crew. The tour will also include the ship’s command center, where passengers will meet the Captain, enjoy special refreshments and take in the dramatic views from the bridge’s wraparound windows. You can pose with the captain at the ship’s wheel. The framed photo and a certificate will be delivered to each participant’s stateroom. The tour will be 3 hours in duration and will cost $150 per person. Princess does plan to offer this program on other ships in the near future.
Do you think the experience is worth the asking price?
