Some nervous passengers waiting for their cruise tomorrow I should imagine. I wonder if all the crew have been onboard during the maintenance.

Dermotsgirl Posted January 4 #4 Share Posted January 4 Some people elsewhere have said that Ambience's arrival into Tilbury is being delayed due to bad weather, slowing down traffic getting out of Bremerhaven. Boarding times tomorrow delayed by 8 hours. That is not going to calm passenger jitters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermotsgirl Posted January 5 #6 Share Posted January 5 Cruise Mapper says she due in to Tilbury at 17.00. It's currently 16.20, and she's just off Herne Bay, so looks like she'll be a little late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boarding was delayed. Ambassador provided a complimentary shuttle service between the port and Lakeside, a nearby shopping and leisure park, for those on the London Coach transfers and also anyone else who couldn't delay their arrival. Good to see that Ambassador provided very comprehensive and transparent communication regarding the delay, including a letter sent to them from the port authority in Bremerhaven. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see them get away - I have been following on MarineTraffic Are you onboard ? I was hoping to see a blog from someone on this cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't prepared to risk a 42-night cruise without trying out the ship and line on a shorter cruise first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
