1-10 of 15 London (Greenwich, Tower Bridge, Tilbury) to Norwegian Fjords Ambassador Cruise Line Ambience Reviews
We chose this cruise as, having cruised with various other cruise lines on much larger ships, we felt the smaller ship would suit our Norwegian Fjords cruise best.
The ship's main foyer is tired and unimpressive. The decor is dated and dull. The cabin was far from 'superior' as advertised - being very tired, only having one single plug socket for a double occupancy with a shabbily added USB ...
We chose this cruise ship...The Ambience as it was smaller than other ships and thought our Fjord cruise would benefit from this.
In reality this ship lacked a lot of the benefits of the larger cruise ships.
The food was adequate but nothing special.
The main restaurant, Borough Market closed at 10pm. Which meant if you wanted anything to eat there was nowhere to go...not even a few ...
My first cruise on Ambience was her maiden cruise, in the wake of the pandemic. Well, I'm back 14 months later.
It is great to have a new British cruise line, offering a no-fly, traditional experience, from Tilbury again. Ambassador makes it clear that they are NOT ‘Cruise & Maritime Voyages’, never the less, Ambassador still attract hundreds of CMV fans.
Ambassador potentially have a very ...
This cruise came up in my emails. It was to Norway, somewhere I have always wanted to go. It was our first cruise so we did not know what to expect but we took the plunge. From boarding the Ambience we were made to feel so welcome. It is such a beautiful ship and I particularly noticed how spotlessly clean everything was. We were assigned a cabin which was more like a hotel room even though this ...
Eight of us took a week away to celebrate two 60th birthdays in the Norwegian fjords. My wife and I have cruised before so we had an idea what to expect. Embarkation was very smooth and well organised. We arrived in a taxi, the boot was opened, porters took our luggage and took it to our cabin while we checked in and went straight to the bar. A very slick operation. The boat is old and dated but ...
Norway Fjords
Cabin
Cabin with picture window was a decent size, bed comfortable, shower room okay and plenty of clothes storage. The bed had ‘terry flannelette sheets which in June was very, very, hot. Never been anywhere with this type of sheet before! The window however which we paid an upgraded price for was caked with mud so you could not see much out of it. Hair dryer not working and ...
Wanted to do the Norwegian Fjords in 2020 but Covid happened. As soon as it was safe to cruise again we had no hesitation in choosing this cruise especially as Ambassador had the previous company CMV in its dna. Real value for money and not a massive Cruise Loner by way of travellers. The crew were very helpful and it would appear loyal. Food was excellent snd the entertainment was first class. ...
It had been on our wishlist for quite a few years to visit Norway and the Fjords.
Our hopes, dreams and expectations were fully achieved during the 7- day cruise.
Our ocean view cabin was really comfortable; the staff looked after us so well and nothing was too much trouble and the food and entertainment was excellent.
This was our very first cruise and it certainly won't be our last. ...
I needed a cruise that that tied in with school holidays and I wanted one that lasted more than a few days so that I got a feel for the whole cruising experience. As a first time cruiser, I felt that a week would be perfect. I first came across Ambassador on a YouTube video. It focussed on cruising on the ship as a solo passenger. I liked what I saw and investigated further. As soon as I ...
The fact that this was a no-fly cruise and the price we paid all inclusive made the choice easy
Booking the cruise was easy and the sales staff very helpful
Yes. Parts of the ship are dated. But :
The service from all the staff was faultless
The cabins were roomy and comfortable and our steward Jellie looked after us extremely well
The entertainment was first class
The food was ...
