Ambassador. Ambition. Iberian Treasures & Seville FiestaWe booked this cruise for several reasons. 1, to try Ambassador. 2, because it left from Bristol. 3, the Seville Fiesta was offered. 4, the price was right. At the time it was one of three we were looking into, (the other two were P&O)Part of the offer was free port parking at Bristol. Booked through Iglu. When the booking was

Before commenting on the cruise, a bit of advice. If you have booked a cabin and you are happy with the location, the favoured being midships, be careful to tick the no upgrade box. Why wouldn’t you want an upgrade? Two reasons, it isn’t an upgrade in reality, you are just moved, without your agreement, to an identical cabin on a higher deck. The sting in the tail is that it is likely to be to one

Embarkation:Apparently there was an issue with the gangway preventing the passengers departing from the previous cruise so we were kept waiting until gone 12 o'clock before anyone could board. Quite efficient otherwise. They collected our luggage from the waiting area rather than outside due to the issues from the last cruise. Cabins: We had 2 cabins. I had a Superior ocean view.

Sailing to Northern lights: this 25 year old lady scrubbed up well, better than the old lady writing the review.The ship had 1,090 guests on board and in places you noticed, slow service in some of the public areas and the buffet, "Borough Market", was best summed up by some other passengers as "Cattle Market". It was woeful, traffic flow down narrow passage ways a complete struggle and simply

Room.Air-con. This didn't seem to be working properly for most if not all the voyage, which was confirmed by the reception desk when we spoke to them on the third occasion. It was so hot that for many days we were not able to sleep properly, to the point that we actually considered taking pillows down to reception and sleeping there. Reception were very apologetic, but said that it affected so

We have just returned from a four day break on Ambition and had a wonderful time. The staff at Ambassador head office advised us that our trip would be on the Ambition due to our originally booked ship, Ambiance, having maintenance difficulties. However our booking was changed to the Ambition without too many problems for us. Ambition is definitely a smaller ship than Ambiance but she is

I usually choose a short Christmas Markets cruise in December and I wanted to see what this company was like with the view to a longer cruise. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. The ship itself has been furnished to a high standard and the cabin was fine. However, I walk with a stick and having to join a scrum for breakfast at the buffet was taxing. I have never been on a ship where even

I chose this to visit the Christmas market in Hamburg and Antwerp and as a test run to see whether it would be worth booking a longer cruise. It certainly decided me that I would not make any further trips with Ambassador.The administration from the head office is somewhat inefficient. I am still waiting for a full response the automatic acknowledgement promised me after I emailed them on

The ship has been refitted to a high standard and our junior suite and the public areas were spacious and modern.The staff were first class - hard working and welcoming.The self service Borough market has plenty of seating and good space around the various food counters. There is a good selection of food.We were allocated a table in the Holyrood restaurant and, although we chose the
