The ship's management reserves the right to refuse the service of alcohol at any time in accordance with Ambassador’s policy for the Responsible Service of Alcohol.
The drinks package applies to the full advertised cruise duration, other than the day of disembarkation where drinks will be charged at the standard bar menu rate. For the avoidance of doubt if the cruise is advertised as a 7-night cruise, then 7 shall be applied as the multiplier to the price of the package.
Standard spirit measures are 40ml
In line with the responsible service of alcohol policy, bar staff may refuse service if a guest appears to be heavily intoxicated.
Purezza bottled water in cabins isn’t included in any package and is chargeable at the applicable rate of £1.65 per bottle.
Guests can purchase a refillable Purezza water bottle from any outlet for £17.95, allowing them unlimited refills in this bottle.
A Purezza package can be purchased for £9.95 if you bring the bottle back on a future cruise. This charge also applies if you use your own bottle.
Purezza bottle refills are not included in the drinks packages, but guests can have water by the glass which is included in all packages
