Creator's Key Takeaways

We're about to board the oldest and smallest cruise ship we've ever done with Ambassador Ambience.

First impressions, we were actually really surprised. For a ship that's 34 years old, the atrium didn't feel dated at all.

The show was phenomenal. Jane looked incredible. She sounded incredible.

We met Jane. She's so lovely.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't turn up too early for embarkation at London Tilbury terminal as there isn't much to do.
Be aware that the buffet closes at 9:00 p.m. and food after that is only available via paid room service.
Bring seasickness medication, especially on smaller or older ships.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin datedness and sizeThe interior cabin is dated but has decent size and lots of storage; shower curtain is a first for them.
Seasickness on older, smaller shipsPreemptively take seasickness tablets; they learned they do get seasick without them.
