Today we have the start of meteorological autumn here in the northern hemisphere. Elsewhere in the southern hemisphere is the start of spring, so if you're not ready for cooler dark nights, southern hemisphere it is then 😊

🎉 A little something for my loyal regulars!
I’m sharing this Bank Holiday Bonanza with my loyal customers first. If you’re one of my regulars and want to book, drop me a message and I’ll be happy to chat. 💙
But if you're a newbie and have seen something you're going to book this bank holiday, I'm happy to help.
It is bank holiday so I'm not sat at my desk but I will pick my messages up if you want to book before this offer ends.
I know some of you lovely lot wait until after the bank holiday so I can have some family time too. But I'd hate you to miss out for that reason.
Please note, this is for genuine holiday enquiries/bookings only.
When we had the £500 prize draw one of my customers won. It was lovely ringing them to give them the good news.
So who knows 🥳🤩

I always welcome my customers home after their holidays.

This dropped in my inbox this morning and I just had to share

Morning Stephanie
We couldn't have had a better holiday thank you!, it was amazing!
Hotel suited us perfectly, room was lovely and quiet, spent quite a lot of time by the pool which was not overcrowded and was in a perfect location with a supermarket over the road and a bus stop 100 yards away with direct bus to all the main hotspots and restaurants.
We've enjoyed it that much that we want to book the exact same holiday again for next year! I'll be in touch in next few weeks to get it booked with you, I just need ****** to look at dates so we can fit it around her work.
Thanks again for such a good holiday!

I also had a photo and message as well this morning, but haven't asked permission to use it yet.
These little things mean the world to me, so Thanks 🥰

I have had the most amazing few days onboard Ambassador Ambience with my fellow Captain’s Table winners from Hays Homeworkers, and our wonderful host, Laura, from Ambassador. 💜

It may not be the biggest or the most luxurious ship on the seas, but wow… it more than makes up for it in so many ways! The quality of the food and drinks are fantastic, the excursions were reasonably priced, everything was spotlessly clean, the staff were genuinely friendly, the entertainment was great, and I honestly had the most comfiest bed and pillow ever!

My ocean view cabin was incredibly spacious, with plenty of hanging space and drawers (if you know, you know! 😁).

I'm not going to pretend everything was perfect—the furniture and dressing table were a little dated, and the Wi-Fi could be a bit hit and miss—but those were only minor things compared to what was an absolutely fabulous experience.

My top tip: bring a refillable water bottle so you can top it up at the water dispensers. 💧

Would I sail with Ambassador again? Absolutely... in a heartbeat! 💜🚢
