Ruby Princess Casino CA Review

Each one of their casino cruise ships can therefore be described as a Santa Clarita casino, even though their routes take them for away from Californian soil. One of the more recent additions to the fleet, Ruby Princess was built in 2008 and underwent a major refurbishment 10 years later. Its most frequent route takes passengers on 4- and 5-day cruises to the Caribbean. It carries up to 3,080 guests looked after by 1,200 crew. The minimum age for gamblers is 18.
