Ambassador Cruise Line Ambience
The cruise was good value and some aspects were great but there were too many problems that lowered the whole experience. We booked a Junior Suite which was really spacious and well decorated but the downside was that it was under the "smoking area" on the pool deck and at 1am to 2am the smokers would come out from the Observatory after the disco to smoke and dragged the chairs and tables around making a terrible noise in our suite and waking us up. This was repeated again at 5am to 6am. We complained for 10 days until the management agreed to move heavy settees and tables into that area so they could not be easily moved. Hopefully future cruisers will now not have this problem. The food in the Main Restaurant was good but they need to learn how to cook roast potatoes, mashed potatoes and chips and to serve them hot!! For us the portion sizes of the meals were too large and we would rather have had smaller portions with better quality meat and fish. The curries were brilliant. We never ate in the Buffet Restaurant as it was too busy and you had to queue for everything. The entertainment was dire. Disembarkation was a shambles. The best things about the cruise were the locations visited and the staff. The staff were friendly and polite and the service in the Main Restaurant and the bars was exceptional. This is a review of the 42 day cruise as we found it and I am sure that if in future the management team is more hands on and responds to any complaints immediately and improves the quality of some of the food this cruise line will soon be getting 5 star reviews every time.

Wonderful time. Excellent food, staff and entertainment. Cabins a little dated and aircon not always working but overall very happy and going on another Ambasader cruise this August. Very sad that this will be the last multi-generation cruise as Ambassader are no longer doing them. My family and I have loved all our cruises with Ambassader.

Great destinations … Carribean islands so a great taster cruise to research where to go another time…. Ship well run and excellent entertainment, but layout of pools a disappointment but not something that could be easily changed. Staff less attentive than on Fred Olsen, but still great service and food. Everything kept nice and clean despite being an older ship. Tours very competitively priced too. Great first time cruise with Ambassador but shame Trumps antics meant we missed our Cuba ( it had been that which had swung our choice between Fred 35 days and Ambassador 40 days including 🇨🇺 Cuba in the first place )

After years of saying we would never go on a cruise we finally took the plunge and booked our cruise with Ambassador, from start to finish it was a delight. The staff and service were second to none especially with our so who has Parkinson's, at buffet his plate was filled and taken to his table for him as his hands were shaking. The ship was spotless and the staff always had a smile. We enjoyed it so much that we have booked to sail with them next year.

Third time in Ambassador, lovely staff, slower pace and most (bar a few entitled) fellow cruisers were very social too. Food above average. Excursions could so with some better planning , a bit of a bun fight getting off the ship, all they need to do is allocate people to coaches and stagger them off out of the theatre in 5 minutes intervals, rather than having 10 coach loads trying to fight their way off. Had a deluxe suite with separate bedroom courtesy of upgrade programme, excellent .
