“Unexpected Bookimg”

Both girls I talked to were very halpful. No single cabins left but I paid 2 fares and am in a double cabin as I desperately needed to get away due to unfortunate circumstances

Trusted Customer

Excellent service from the time you check in .

“Looking forward to our Norway cruise”

Service has always been good even though the wait times to speak to someone when you can't alter a booking online can be very long. This particular cruise is for 2025 so I am unable to review but I'm really looking forward to the trip.

“Gems booking”

Efficient booking staff, with no pressure only helpful advice.

Ian Burle

“Easy to book myself.”

It was very easy to book the Cruise online, and I did not need to talk to Customer Services (as I had too when booking a P&O Cruise earlier in the year). After booking, you need to set up a 'portal' Online (again, very easy) and there you can add things like drinks packages, parking, excursions from ports, wine or chocolate waiting for you in your cabin etc. All very easy. We'll done, Ambassador.

“Disappointed”

Have booked with them in May for the Norwegian cruise which we thoroughly enjoyed. At the time nothing was too much trouble Have booked a 60th surprise birthday mini cruise for my partner. However the embarkation time is the latest time in the afternoon at 17.30 I understand it’s to do with the entrance of where you dock and position of cabin but I did call them to see if we could embark early or even move cabin or have an upgrade No luck. Not accommodating at all.

“Foolproof booking”

Easy to book and good discount with my blue light card and was able to book a room with a balcony. Our 1st cruise booking and it was very easy.

Trusted Customer

I spoke with a lovely lady called Emma today. I had booked one cruise for myself and my husband, and then 15 minutes later I tried to book the same cruise for my niece and her husband using the same credit card. My payment spent most of the evening going around in circles trying to process. I spoke with my card company who confirmed only one deposit had come out of my account, And that there was nothing wrong with my card and to try again. After 4 hours of frustration, I left it for the night. I called Ambassador this afternoon. Emma helped me book the cruise over the telephone - using the same card. She was very patient and pleasant. She managed to book the cruise that I had tried all evening to do. Emma also linked our bookings so that we were close to my niece. The reason my payment was processing all evening, was the address on my card did not match my nieces. Once we changed my nieces address to mine, the payment went straight through. Lovely service. Lovely lady.
