Rare NorbertsNiece Posted October 15, 2022 Author #305 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Looks like another medevac underway 2245 last night. 🙏 Day 34 / 34 sea day Good morning and thanks for following 😀 !! We could hear alert bells outside in the distance followed by the sound and lights of the helicopter. Really close. Lit up the cabin. For around 45 minutes. Do hope the patient makes a safe recovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted October 16, 2022 Author #308 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Winding the clock back 24 hours. We said a very sad farewell to Pam and Steve. They really made this cruise for me. Another HUGE plus was the amazing Company of Players. Last night was a musical theatre extravaganza finishing with Lion King. Superb. Captain Egil welcomed a selection of officers, crew and staff to the stage to bid us adieu. The draw for the navigational chart was made. Saddest cruise pic is always luggage lined up outside cabins 😢 Edited October 16, 2022 by NorbertsNiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted October 16, 2022 Author #309 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Deck 14 current status. Waiting for port authority clearance to start disembarkation process. Edited October 16, 2022 by NorbertsNiece 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted October 16, 2022 Author #310 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) I'm home. Still messing up posting ukulele performance but this time with excellent wifi. Disembarking was a disaster. Many disembarked out of turn blocking access for others. This is the queue for trolleys. We were the 2nd deck to disembark......

CruiseDad-NYC Posted October 16, 2022 #311 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Thank you very much for this very excellent blog! Great text and photos. It caught my attention a few weeks ago, because I had never heard of Ambassador Cruise lines, and I have been checking in since. Looks like an older ship that has been nicely updated and has very good food and excellent cappuccinos and a very interesting itinerary. (I sailed from New York to New England, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia last month and am curious about Canada and the ports you visited). I haven't been on a transatlantic yet or on a voyage that long (2 weeks is my longest), but someday! Thank you again and all the best! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to visit Montréal and revisit Québec. And more of Canada. Just loved the 'feel' of the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milaandra Posted November 30, 2022 #320 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hi! We're booked for Iceland in June on the Ambition. 1. Can you tell me how many smart nights vs casual nights? The cruise line states how many formal nights, but not how many smart nights and I like to plan ahead. 2. How would you rate/compare the dining room food overall? For example, how is the quality of the beef? 3. At what point did excursions go up for sale, and how were the prices of those? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a long cruise; most non formal nights were smart suggested dress. First night was casual and maybe one or two others. 2. Dining room food was good. Soups were excellent as were most starters. Main courses were variable, needed seasoning. My friend enjoyed the beef. I tend to stick to fish, vegetarian and poultry. 3. Excursions were available around 6 weeks pre cruise. The ones we took were mostly excellent; we felt we got value for money. Hope this helps.

BestGuessed Posted November 30, 2022 #323 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hello Linda, thank you for writing about your experience onboard Ambience … I really enjoyed reading your blog and learning about the new Ambassador cruise line. We will be cruising on Ambience for the first time next Spring and we very much enjoy live music and dancing. Please could I ask whether there is a venue or perhaps two that offer the opportunity to dance to a party band or some sort of live music? Thank you !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted November 30, 2022 Author #324 Share Posted November 30, 2022 @BestGuessed Yes! I love live music and dancing. Sadly my travel companion doesn't. Purple Turtle nightly has a band and the Observatory has the addition of a dance floor 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
