Very nice ship. Lots of different bars/lounges with a variety of entertainment. Food was reasonable although the service in the dining room was hit and miss. Our cabin was okay but not great (this was due to misinformation from Iglu and not Ambassadors fault!). Ports were very good and overall we enjoyed our holiday).
