London (Greenwich, Tower Bridge, Tilbury) to Canada & New England Cruise Reviews

This is my "TRUE" account of what an Ambience cruise is like. Firstly It never reached the 2 ports in Greenland nor Reykjavik in Iceland. A port in Canada was also missed. Instead we visited Cobh in Ireland and Honfluer in France. The cabins are clean, have good storage and the public rooms are in good condition. There are though some musty smells and urine smells in the corridors. The ...

I have been cruising for 35 years and have been on many cruise lines and have cruised a lot more in recent years. Many people are huge fans of Ambassador cruises and will no doubt have had a lovely time. On a positive note, the ship is well maintained, the people who work on the ship are a delight and the ship is very, very clean in comparison to many other cruise lines. The food is in ...

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 ...

This review will highlight the faults and problems that we encountered and that we feel reflect badly on Ambassador and Ambience – we have given Ambassador two weeks to respond to an e-mail detailing most of these, but without a response so far. I would not recommend a cruise on Ambience. • Background Information and Booking o We are a couple in our 70s who have cruised at least once most ...

I have recently returned from a cruise on the ship Ambience with Ambassador Cruises. It was a no fly cruise from Tilbuy to Canada, Greenland and Iceland. From the start there were problems. We had to queue at Tilbury for nearly two hours without seats or facilities to get refreshments. Once on the ship and throughout the voyage the air conditioning was faulty and so we were either freezing or ...

As we have sailed with 6 very different cruise lines, varying from the high class to the expedition type, well known family ships as well as a couple of cruise lines aimed at the over 50s and mainly adult only, I felt we were well appointed to form an opinion of the new Ambassador Cruise Line and their first ship, Ambience. We have never chosen to cruise on a ship much over 3000 passenger size as ...

The Greenland and Canadian cruise was a bit of a disaster what with fog in Greenland and Hurricane Fiona, we missed 4 of the best ports due to weather, the ship also was bit of a disaster everything was either too hot of too cold engineers did not appear to have clue how to control it. Ambassador cruise line is new very disorganised, I think a lot of the crew were new and the ship was new to them. ...
