Ambience

Fantastic cruise Christmas and new year on Ambiance wonderful food, amazing entertainment,wonderful staff could not ask fo a better, time would thoughly recommend

The ship is a little old and tired however it is going in for a refit. Cabin storage excellent so much wardrobe space. We really enjoyed the entertainment and thought the theatre group singers and actors excellent

Poor and boring entertainment! Apart from the 3 professional artists! Cabin: small, cheap bedding, 1 plug socket! Food: mediocre! Bar areas nice! Would definitely not sail on her again! Very disappointing

Overall good value for money. The staff are mostly friendly and offer good service, with the exception of a few. The cabins are basic but comfortable, they need updating to include more sockets for the 21st century. Wifi was reasonably good. Food was only average, not special & certainly never spectacular, even on formal nights of which they dictated there were 3 on just an 8 night cruise. The buffet restaurant is not self-service which we really dislike as it led to more food wastage. It's also is too small for the number of guests needing to use it, especially given that there's nowhere else to eat during the day, so extend it or extend the opening hours!! Unusually for cruise lines there's no food available after 9. 00pm apart from a few (once again served to you on a hit & miss basis) deep fried nibbles. We would choose to eat late after entertainment so will most likely book elsewhere another time, although existing dining times should remain for those who prefer. With regard to the bar drinks there is a very good choice available, however, the list is exhaustive, they will not serve it if it's not on the list, why not?, they have all of the ingredients. The resident musicians offered a variety to suit most tastes. Theatre shows not to our taste but many seemed to like. More information on port/destination a on the daily newsletter would be helpful & definitely more shuttle services, whether complimentary of paid. Satisfied would sum up the experience!
