We were up at 6.30 this morning, and we looked out of our window to see that Ambition was at anchor off the pretty little town of Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull. We had never been here before and were so looked forward to exploring. What I found quite interesting and amusing was people’s…
A combination of late nights, too many cocktails (or quite possibly both) meant I didn’t get out of my pit until 8.40am. Even then, I didn’t go up to breakfast, I just had a cup of coffee in the cabin while getting ready, and Trevor brought me back a muffin and an orange from the…
As our meeting time for our scenic excursion this morning wasn’t until 9.15am, we got up at eight and looked out of the window, to find ourselves docked in picturesque Tórshavn, capital of the Faroe Islands. We had been here twice before, in 2006 and in 2016, but it’s such a lovely place, all green…
Didn’t go up to breakfast this morning; instead I made use of the tea and coffee facilities in our cabin, and Trevor, who did go to the Borough Market self-service, brought me back a muffin and a banana to enjoy instead. Then we got ourselves ready to disembark, ensuring we had our cagoules after a…
1st July. Wow – were we into the second half of 2023 already?! This year is certainly flying. We woke up early this morning, 7.20am in fact. This is because I had a session of “Pure Bliss” booked in the Green Sea Spa at eight o’clock. This was an hour-long massage session, consisting of a…
After an excellent night’s sleep we got up at 8.00am and looked out of our window at grey skies once again, and a very calm North Sea. The Ambition was gliding gently along, only doing about 8-10 knots. We were not due to reach our first port of call, Dundee, until around 11.30am. As readers…
When we woke up this morning, it was with the happy knowledge that, once again, we would be setting off on a cruise! 😊 Yes! We were due to drive out to the Port of Tyne this afternoon to join M/S Ambition, one of the two ships of the Ambassador Cruise Line. We hadn’t tried…
There’s not a lot more to write now. We were up at 6.30am as breakfast this morning was an hour earlier, at seven o’clock. As ever, we sat with Jerry, Gaynor, Marian, Maggie, Wolfgang and Enna. “M and M” (as we called them) had to leave before 7.30am as their flight was very early. Our…

Mr Blue Sky – Electric Light Orchestra Woke up to another gloriously sunny morning, the sunshine glittering and bouncing on the small, rippling waves as we made our way…
After a post-luncheon power nap, we woke up and went up to the sun deck, where several people were reclining on sun-loungers reading, dozing or just watching the ever-changing scenery as the Solaris glided through the calm waters. As I didn’t have any suntan lotion on, I didn’t stay out too long, and soon brought…
