I sailed Ambassador Ambition solo and gluten-free... here's my honest verdict!

Creator's Key Takeaways
The food on board was to a very high quality, and there wasn't anything that I ate on board that I didn't enjoy.
The capacity of the buffet area appears to be a lot lower than the capacity of people on board. It was very common to struggle to find somewhere to sit.
Whilst the entertainment did feel lacking at times, especially on the sea days, I recognize that I am not Ambassador's target audience.
The pricing of the packages is very competitive with other cruise lines, and it's good to have the availability to pick the tier that you want.
