Speakers & Acts

Clive Harvey

Guest Speaker

Clive’s working career has been somewhat varied; beginning in retail, the highlight of which was working at Liberty on Regent Street. It was here that Clive's interest in art, design and particularly interior design, was able to flourish. A brief time was spent with the luxury goods firm, Dunhill followed by some years working in the film industry. Clive then made a complete change of direction by moving into government service. It was there that he spent several years in the Marine Division of the Department of Trade and Industry. Working there enabled him to expand his interest in ships – particularly passenger liners. For over ten years Clive was the chairman of the Ocean Liner Society and also editor of the society’s magazine, Sea Lines. He has been a contributor of articles to a variety of shipping magazines and has also authored several books on ocean liners, including the definitive history of the Cunard liner Queen Elizabeth of 1940. Clive was a major contributor and participant in a six-part series 'Lost Liners' for The History Channel - shown in 2022 and in the follow-up series to be aired in 2024. He has also given presentations to the New York branch of the World Ship Society. Clive also has a passion for old cars and can often be found at classic car events. He presently lives in an historic house in Norwich from where he runs a Bed and Breakfast.

Stephen Garcia

Guest Speaker - Magician and Comedian

After winning young talent shows in the UK and receiving the “Variety Club Trophy” for Magic and Comedy, Stephen soon realised that this was his journey and embarked on his first cruise at 19, performing in production shows with singers and dancers and to this day, Stephen still can’t dance. Stephen Garcia is recognized as one the top Magic Comedy acts cruising…this week! He was voted “Cruise Act of the Year” by his Mum and Dad. Sir Elton John, Tom Jones & Céline Dion are just many of the famous names Stephen has never worked with. Stephen was invited to appear on the “Royal Variety Show” last year but turned it down as he was still fitting his mother-in laws new kitchen. Stephen’s love for comedy has grown rapidly and is a huge part of his performances. With wit and natural topical funniness incorporated into his shows, he creates fast moving, original and entertaining shows with zany laughter. Stephen’s shows are just perfect for family audiences; cheeky but never rude.

Clark Stewart

Guest Entertainer

Hailing from Bonnie Scotland, International Comedian Clark Stewart, has performed around the world on board luxury Cruise Ships for over 30 years, including the QE2. Clark has performed with Susan Boyle, Billy Connolly, Elaine Paige, Ken Dodd, Joe Longthorne, Roy Walker, Jim Davidson, Tom O’Connor, and many, many more... He has appeared in numerous Pantomimes and Musicals throughout the UK and is a regular at the famous Glasgow Pavilion. Clark's comedy and vocals are in great demand all year round having sold over 15,000 CDs.... so far!

“Watch out! Hidden costs”

WATCH OUT! Hidden costs. Started online booking got a price we were happy with but it was not clear if cabins were suitable for our needs. We then telephoned, spoke to a very helpfulful person, great. Until the final price! Different to online!! Around £200 more expensive!!! It turned out that price for cruise (great) and explorer drinks package work out more expensive if you book on the telephone. Happy to say the person price matched the online price but had to go away and get help to do so. WATCH OUT! hidden costs.

Gillian Marshall

“Not been yet, unable to review.”

Online booking form not comprehensive enough. Nowhere to remove guaranteed cabin consent, or to request table size or sitting.

Trusted Customer

“Helpful assistant”

Super helpful assistant Julie knows all there is to know about booking a cruise with ambassador An asset to the company

Susan

“Service for foreign guests could be better”

Responses via e-mail are extremely quick. Awesome! Booking process is straight but keeps some secrets which are solved later. Service for foreign guests could be better. As guests are may be not native speakers there is a lot to read and understand when you are cruising with a new company for the first time. Even for really experienced cruisers.

“Don’t just look, get it booked.”

Outstanding service from Ambassador once again. Second cruise booked for this year. Referred my sister and we both got onboard credit. It’s so easy to book. Find your cruise, choose your cabin, tap a few buttons and within minutes it’s all completed. Biggest challenge was deciding which cruise to choose.

Trusted Customer

“Christmas 🎄 cruise Mediterranean.”

Alison Middleton

Trusted Customer

“Not a great service”

Great service on phone. Did not realise however until after I had paid deposit that I could not book a table for two for evening meals. Been on over 20 cruises always in a suite and have never once had to share a table. This needs looking at or this cruise will be my last with Ambassador.

Trusted Customer

This is my 3rd booking with Ambassador I prefer to ring and book, the lady who took my call was friendly and very helpful and the booking was very thorough and stress free. Now looking forward to getting on board Ambition and enjoy our cruise.
