Having been on a number of very good cruises with Ambassador we found our latest cruise disappointing. The company cannot be blamed for the very poor wet weatherand that the itiniary had to be changed a few times. What it can be hel to account for is that the heating in the dining room and the theatres were postively cold and that is unacceptable. The TV in the cabin is very limited and there is no sports channel. Sport is a part of modern life and for 3 weeks we were cut off form the sporting world. On the plus side the food is a good as any line we have been on and the serviceand staff on Ambassador are attentivlely top class
Nice smaller vessel, itinery changes were very disappointing. Entertainment was varied and enjoyable most of the time
Nice ship, little on the small side, but very well presented. was disappointed that there was no food available in the Buffet from 10 till 12 for those that wanted to have a lie in and didn’t want to rush around in the mornings. also Buffet closed at 9 pm felt this was way too early only room service available after 9 pm ? Dress code is way too relaxed especially in the dining room. Most of the staff was very friendly and very helpful although at times I felt in the dining room they was understaffed as we waited long periods between courses and for Drinks. was disappointed, we couldn’t get bottled water on the top Drinks package. which meant we had to pay for bottled water in the cabin it was only £2 a bottle but when you’re paying for Drinks package, you don’t expect to have to pay for bottle water. Didn’t get involved with any of the activities apart from the odd quiz so can’t really comment. Overall probably got what I expected when booking the cruise. had a nice holiday but definitely prefer the bigger ships.
Excellent value for money. Immaculately clean with a happy crew providing good service. Cabins are well appointed with tea/coffee facilities but no fridge. Food is adequate quality and abundant quantity. Entertainment includes in cabin tv showing bbc news, bbc hd , britbox and several movie channels - but no guide to program content or times. On board theatre is well appointed. Guest acts were very good but the resident team made up for lack of talent by sheer exuberance. Check in and out at beginning/end of cruise was very well organised. I would cruise with Ambassador again
