Ambassador Cruise Line Ambience
The ship really needed one or two more weeks preparation to get it ready to take paying passengers. Some areas had not been completed and were not available. There were technical problems, such as plumbing and heating, which bordered on the disastrous, such as cabin toilets not flushing and cabins having no heating. Guest services left a lot to be desired. We were unfortunately confined to our cabin, having been in contact with somebody on board who had tested positive for covid, and found it very difficult to get any food or drink to our cabin via the guest services desk. We had to wait over 90 minutes for our dinner to be served from ordering it, but the service improved when we were able to contact the restaurant direct. We had been told that if we tested positive, we would be last to disembark, but that the company would provide transport home for us. Great service, we thought, but that was not the reality. I tested positive on the last day and again was told we would be last off but have transport provided. Then we had a phone call telling us to leave the ship and that no transport would be provided. I asked the Guest services manager why, despite promises, we were not getting transport. His reply - "we are not operating a taxi service"! No apology or explanation, just that comment which I found highly offensive. I could see why Guest Services on board was so bad.

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 .
