London (Greenwich, Tower Bridge, Tilbury) to Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise Reviews

At 62 and 70, we were certainly not the youngest passengers, although it’s fair to say we were definitely not the oldest! We’ve been on a lot of cruises where passengers were much less agile and seemed much older. Perhaps Saga attracts more affluent guests who are in better health. The reason for picking this cruise was to celebrate our 35th anniversary. Our 25th had been very different as my ...

Cruise with my mum and cousin in their 80's Mum is a seasoned Saga customer and I can see the things she values in them as it's not all bad but its more Premier Inn than a luxury boutique hotel experience The pick up was great and check in/boarding smooth The cabins are nice and well maintained - housekeeping excellent Food is decent too but the F&B service is mixed. English is ...

Initially pickup and drop off service was very good - on time, pleasant, helpfull drivers, (City Elite Cars) happy to lug the weighty luggage around. Took about 1 hour for the luggage to appear in our cabins. Cabin not enormous, but larger than river cruise, under bed storage really useful. More pillows than we knew what to do with. We were at the front of the ship, high up (level 10), and ...

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 ...

Ambassador have found a gap in the market in offering no-fly cruises from local ports going all over the world. The prices are also extremely good. We paid just over £1,000 per person for a balcony cabin for a week (that didn't include a drinks package, wi-fi or gratuities.) Embarkation took just 20 minutes, our room was ready when we boarded (at 12.30) and cases arrived around half an hour ...

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 ...

We recently had a holiday cancelled and were left wondering what to do to replace it. We saw the advert for a round the UK cruise with Ambassador Cruises on Ambiance and decided to book it at the very last minute despite reading some very negative reviews about the ship. We figured that even if it was as bad as some of the reviews said, then at least we would be off the ship in a different port ...

This was a 14 day cruise that left From Copenhagen, circumnavigated Iceland and returned to Copenhagen. We have been on Seabourn at least 6 times and this was our second time on the Ovation. We like the larger size, compared to the 3 older and smaller ships, which is most noticeable in the Thomas Keller restaurant and bar. We were told there were only about 325 passengers, and the captain said ...

It was cheap ! It was local ! It floated on the water even if if vibrated more than a road menders drill when going at more than 10kts ! If you are after a step back in time with classic carpets and decor with added rust, together with the smell of musty hoovers and damp carpets where the superstructure leaks, coupled with public area windows that have either failed with misty panes, or ...
