Creator's Key Takeaways

The meals were excellent. I cannot fault what I had to eat. The quality was excellent. They the way it was presented was really good.

The staff were absolutely epic. We've probably not had such good service so consistently over a whole two week cruise as we've had on Ambassador.

The shows have been excellent on here. The costumes. Wow. I mean, amazing. All I can say to you is the shows are above sort of Mela, Piano, Qard, um, even Princess.

If you are a solo passenger, I think is the cruise line for you. On our sailing there were over 240 solo passengers.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If adjusting air conditioning, give the system 30-40 minutes to respond to the temperature change.
Use the drink stations by the pool area to avoid queues found at the main buffet stations.
Arrive at entertainment venues 15-20 minutes early to secure a seat for popular performers.
Check the number of sea days in your itinerary as no-fly cruises often have more sea days.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Dress codeBe prepared for a dressy atmosphere; even 'casual' nights involve people making an effort with collars and dresses.
DemographicsThe demographic is primarily 65+, so younger travelers looking for peers should consider this.
Modern amenitiesIf you require high-tech cabins with touchscreens and on-demand movies, this older ship may not meet expectations.
