Ambassador Ambience Cruise Ship Review

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides a first impressions review of the Ambience following its renaming ceremony in Tilbury. The ship, which previously served as the Pacific Dawn, is noted for having a mix of well-maintained, characterful interiors and areas that show significant age. While the Buckingham restaurant and Borough Market buffet received high praise for their food quality and decor, other aspects like the lifts, corridor carpets, and outdoor deck facilities were criticized. The reviewer highlights that while the cabins are clean and comfortable, the decor and bathrooms feel dated. Entertainment in the Palladium Theatre is described as outstanding, comparable to major cruise lines. The video also addresses consumer concerns regarding the lack of ABTA protection, noting the company's response regarding their refund guarantee and independent trust account. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while Ambassador has significant work to do to fully renovate the vessel and address maintenance issues, there is potential for the brand to appeal to passengers seeking a more personal experience on a smaller ship.

Creator's Key Takeaways
We were invited on board Ambience for her renaming ceremony in Tilbury on the 19th of April 2022 by Ambassador.
We loved the attention to detail on board Ambience.
The meal here was the best we've had in a ship's main dining room post pandemic.
I would have been against renovating and overhauling perfectly good interiors such as the center court, the lounge areas, the Borough Market, and certainly the Buckingham restaurant.
