We were on the same cruise guys and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves , we were down on deck two where the cabins have not been upgraded but were clean and comfortable apart from the air con which had two settings , really hot or really cold with no in between unfortunately . We really liked Discovery 2 but we think that the layout on Explorer is just a little better especially the glass house on Explorer . Great cabin tour and review thank you .

Excellent tour gentleman! I love the Vision Class ships and it’s great to see how Marella is refurbishing them. She looks awesome! I wish Royal would do the same with the remaining Vision Class, but it will never happen. ☹️ My next cruise is on Grandeur of the Seas. She may be old, but she’s still a great little ship. 🥂🥂🥂

It looks very similar to our de-luxe outside cabin on Discovery, which had been upgraded (7064). Our only real niggle was the wardrobe with the safe in, which didn’t have enough height to be useful with that space taken out. Everything else was great.

Again just off the Northern Lights cruise Now I am a Solo and had a table of eight solo's six ladies and two of us men It was great company, only I am not a Predatory male, and found it difficult to tell the ladies how Attractive they looked or well groomed I did not want them to think I was predatory to them, but wanted to show that they were attractive and well groomed, as appreciation, I was worried that if I said anything like that they would feel uncomfortable, and also that If I said nothing they would think what is wrong with this male, what is wrong with herself To those girls Anne, Maureen, Janice, and Marie, thank you girls you were all lovely, I just did not want to cause any percieved offence JIM

Hi we had the same cruise only for this date ,also the following week. As we live in Málaga we did not have the flights to worry about, we asked the cruise company (as we booked direct with them)that the cruise was ok for our second week they said yes so on the same day they said it was cancelled we took the offer to book the week of the 21st as well so we could get the 200.00 off and still have a two week cruise What a nightmare that said as we booked cruise only it was not possible to have the discount of a future cruise So we had to get the refund , we have had the refund but not the compensation as they said it is paid from somewhere else Unbelievable!

We’re very disappointed by the beds. We realise that a double bed is almost always going to be two bases pushed together but Ambassador don’t seem to turn them into a pseudo-double bed by the use of different bedding. They are still two singles, just side by side. If we wanted two singles we’d ask for them.
