Loved our 40 night transatlantic cruise to the Caribbean on Ambience. The food, cocktails, sea day activities and evening entertainment were brilliant … the best entertainment we have experienced It’s an older ship but the public areas are all lovely … the botanical bar and raffles in particular are plusher bars than other cruises we have been on. The cabins, (we had an inside) were roomy for storage but tired, ours was a Pullman cabin which left very little room at the side of the bed when made in to a double. We will definitely be sailing with Ambassador again

On wet cold sea days lacking any sitting space. Some of the inside areas of boat were cold. The buffet restaurant was always cold, and also lacking in sitting space.

The most important question is, would we cruise again ? The answer is yes, if the price was right. . It was over priced overall for what we received. The ship is currently having a well needed refit, which will help. The food is a bit hit or miss in the buffet market place, at times. The evening entertainment was repetitive with the onboard staff (dancers and entertainers) covering most evenings. The restaurant food was really nice. Having announcements in the cabin from 8am was annoying, and the fact that it wasn’t necessary. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming.
