Hi all,

Just looking for some input on these two ships. Looking to cruise March 2012 to the Caribbean for our 2nd cruise ever. Our first cruise was on Caribbean Princess and we loved it. My fiance and I just turned 30. We dont party like crazy, but dont mind the few cocktails at night and dinner. We really made the most out of our first cruise by seeing many of the shows, visiting the spa, fitness center, and excursions every day that included mostly snorkeling trips as well as a zip line trip.

Any input and advice would be greatly appreciated or should we look at a different cruise line and ship?
Thanks!

Well in two months i will be taking navigator of the seas so, i let you know how is it !

We took the AOS for the so. caribbean rte. and were really wowed by this ship. I haven't been on the Ruby but have been on the island, Star and Sapphire as well as the Yahitian which is now the Ocean but that is a much smaller ship. I don't think you can go wrong with either but for ship design and innovation try the AOS. its amazing. JM2C.

Thank you both!!! I was thinking about trying the AOS just because i have done a Princess cruise but haven't tried any other cruise line. Both ships seem great. Thanks for responding!

I'd choose Ruby Princess, but I'm a big Princess fan.

Were on the Ruby Princess in December 2010 (my 2 college age DDs, my mother & I) as well as the RCC Jewel in 2008. Hands down the Princess. While the entertainment was better on RCC, the food was MUCH better, the ship more luxurious, there were far more interesting things to do. I also really like the Carnival cruise we took in 2006. If I had to rank order - Princess, Carnival, RCCL.
