Creator's Key Takeaways
We've just spent seven nights on board Ambassador Ambience cruising around Northern Europe with stops in Copenhagen, Goththingberg, and Oslo.
The biggest issue though was the bathroom. Again, we could excuse the brown decor and even the shower curtain because the shower tray was big enough that it didn't cling to you in that annoying fashion.
We wouldn't rush back, but we wouldn't completely rule it out.

We’ve just spent seven nights cruising on Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambience, sailing to Copenhagen, Gothenburg, and Oslo — and because this was a Cruise with Jane McDonald, it was definitely not your average week at sea. Here's our honest review! In today’s video, we’re sharing our honest thoughts after experiencing this 34-year-old classic cruise ship for the first time. There were parts we genuinely loved — especially some of the newly refreshed lounges — and other bits (hello, cabin bathroom) that left us wishing for a little more attention. We’ll talk you through the food, the bars, the entertainment put on for the Jane sailing, and the itinerary itself, which ended up being a real highlight. We’ve brought you along every day of the cruise in our series, so this review rounds everything up: the good, the not-so-good, and the moments we’ll remember. And if you joined us for the vlogs, you’ll know there were plenty of those during our time cruising on Ambassador Ambience. As always, these are just our experiences — and what didn’t quite click for us might be exactly what someone else loves about this ship. That’s one of the best things about cruising, after all. This review rounds everything up from of our “Cruising with Jane McDonald on Ambassador Ambience” series. This full series covers our 7-night Ambassador itinerary sailing from London Tilbury to Copenhagen, Gothenburg, and Oslo, featuring ship tours, dining reviews, onboard entertainment, and days ashore. 📺 Watch the full series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKJ8xOS4Ah4Yp0qV2XkG49jtMAOpW5PUd If you’re new here, we’re Travels With David and Mark — sharing weekly cruise and travel videos including cruise tips, ship reviews, and destination guides for fellow cruise lovers. #AmbassadorCruiseLine #JaneMcDonald #CruiseVlog #AmbassadorAmbience #CruiseWithJaneMcDonald #cruisereview 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more travel and cruise vlogs.
