London (Greenwich, Tower Bridge, Tilbury) to Baltic Sea Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise for its destinations and following the recommendation of a friend who went last year. It is now 11 days since we left Ambience in Tilbury and travelled back home to southern France. This was our first ever cruise,and it was truly an adventure. After a lovely visit to Torshavn Faroes,we set sail towards Greenland. During the night the winds strengthened and life became ...

If you like to eat great food in a safe and secure ship, this is not the cruise for you! We booked a suite on this cruise looking forward to getting dressed up for a lovely dinner each night. However the food was very very poor quality, the menus were awful, meat and fresh vegetables were in short supply. It all sort of reminded me of school lunches in the late 50’s early 60’s but actually not ...

I had never even heard of Ambassador before stumbling upon The Grand Canada, Greenland and Iceland cruise. The destinations were the pull and I was ready to "put up with" a budget cruiseline and a very old ship to see them. I boarded with very low expectations and after 34 nights onboard I'm completely hooked! Nowhere at sea have I experienced an entire crew that really really do their utmost to ...

We travelled on Ambassador Ambience last November so felt that we were familiar with the ship. I note that several people have expressed very unfriendly reviews but they forget that this cruise line is the price leader in cruises and would have to pay significantly more with other lines. Also, there was a generous cash back on board. Yes, the restauarants were not perfect but they compared ...

As first time cruiser, I was skeptical of feeling herded like cattle. I reached out multiple times to customer service of Ambassador to ask a multitude of questions before the cruise. Not only were they incredible responsive and professional, but the service only got better once we boarded the ship. Our experience far exceeded our expectations. The ship was an ideal size and with 1,400 guests, ...

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 ...

We booked this cruise because it sailed from Tilbury and sounded like the trip of a lifetime.... We couldnt have been more wrong! Ambassador advertise itself as a cruise company where you can 'enjoy yourself' (well thats what its latest advert says) What a load of rubbish! Its a tired, old ship with poor food, (only available selected, restricted hours), poor entertainment, discusting all ...

This was our first time on Ambassador but our 14th cruise with P&O, Cunard and other major cruise lines. Yes the Ambience is a little dated which was not a problem and early days for Ambassador who are updating all of the time. Our cabin was spotless, could not fault the restaurants and food was very good. All staff in the bars, Restaurants and cabins were a credit to Ambassador. Very ...

We chose the cruise for the music ,for the Port of Tilbury ,because it is based on the Cruise and Maritime blueprint , it was not expensive and therefore expectations are lower . Embarkation was seamless ,organised and parking is literally by the ship . The atmosphere on boarding was great ,the staff were helpful ,organised ,smiling , the other passengers were smiling and joking . The ...
