Ambition Reviews

My friend and I had a lovely time on Ambition and would recommend the ship and Ambassador Cruise Line.

My main issues were: There wasn't a fridge in the room as sold which was annoying as wanted to keep medication chilled in there. Also booked a once in a lifetime puffin excursion and the ship was hours late in port so waste £350. Pros: Clean ship & friendly staff. good food on offer - you can eat none stop except late night unless pay. . . would be good if there were crisps, sandwiches & biscuits etc you could take back to room late night. They really need to improve the pizza though which is a shame. Also would be cool if they could add a proper cafe style venue not just endless bars. i didn't bother much with on ship entertainment as was doing trip to explore iceland & rest & eat on board.

Our first Cruise and enjoyed overall Food, Activities, Staff all Great Destinations a bit disappointing due to various reasons - unable to dock at Lerwick, accessibility/destinations lacking in facilities

Ship was extremely clean , when food was buffet style it was served to you. We enjoyed all Ports of Call except the Nature Reserve it was lovely to see the Puffins but the travelling to them was very bad you were tossed about on gravel roads. The food was good and the entertainment excellent. We were in a suite which was well worth it .

Superb cruise from embarkation to leaving. Everyone was friendly and helpful which was great as I walk with a rollator and we had dreadful weather with rough seas so much so that the itinerary was changed. The crew were exceptionally always smiling and genuinely seemed content with their lot even though they worked tirelessly to make sure everyone was happy. The entertainment was very good. Would recommend to anyone who is travelling solo.

Never able to get a sunbed as people left their towels on them even when not needed although ships policy was against this nothing was followed through l would have taken the worst offenders and made them go all the way to reception to collect their possessions and let them feel the inconvenience that people who never ever had a chance of a single day of sunshine on upper deck 11

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

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

My first cruise and it didn’t disappoint at all. I was surprised by the relaxed atmosphere and the crew couldn’t do enough for us. Food and entertainment excellent and all at a fantastic price when you compare it to a fly holiday with hotels. All together a fantastic trip.
