Editorial Summary

Gareth from Port Monkeys provides a tour of the Ruby Princess following an eight million dollar renovation completed during dry dock. The creator examines several updates made to the ship, including changes to the Camp Discovery kids area and the Beach House for teenagers. On Deck 15, the tour highlights the Calypso pool area, noting a new surround sound system for the movie screen, though the creator observes issues with the screen quality. Significant changes are noted in the dining and beverage areas, such as new wall coverings, a redesigned pizza place serving deep dish pizza, and a new coffee bar.

Additional updates include a remodeled bar called The Mix and a selfie wall. On Deck 5, the Piazza features new Mexican style decorations. Finally, the creator mentions that the ship has upgraded to luxury beds and remodeled sections of the spa, though the specific details of the spa changes remain unverified by the creator.
