Guys, not to be picky, but the ship was not launched in 2023, it was launched in 1999, bought by Ambassador in 2022, refitted and started sailing for Ambassador in 2023.
Thanks guys for mentioning the bingo that's the first time I've ever heard anyone talk about bingo on these cruises and I've always played bingo on every cruise and I usually win at least one game. I was on this ship in the summertime and there were theatre productions pays written for the staff. There was even a little workshop where a couple of the actors talk about acting on a cruise ship and the procedure is it was fascinating. It sounds like you didn't get the opportunity to see one of their plays.
Unfortunately not on this ship as our cruise was so short but we did on Ambience earlier in the year. We cover the play here >> ruclips.net/video/1aDxRMSfT_I/видео.htmlsi=YCKSyVFPo5l-tTkl
Good look around the ship. I'm on it in a couple of weeks for a 3 night cruise to Antwerp. I'm not one for shows but with an overnight in port that shouldn't be an issue. I'm sailing alone so I'll probably have dinner in the buffet as the MDR looks a bit too formal, and I don't want to have to dress up
You will be fine smart/casual most evenings apart from Ambassador night. The buffet is a good option although having a shared table in the Buckingham restaurant may make it easier to meet other passengers on the first night. Have a fantastic cruise and let us know how you get on
You won't have to get too dress-ied up & if you're travelling alone, you'll be at a table with other singles. I have to disagree with the assessment of the buffet food - it's not that good. The dining room food was way better & they also serve lunch which, again, is a better standard than the buffet.
@@pamrobinson4350 I agree buffet food is not great and very hard to find a seat, especially breakfast. MDR food was very good, better than P&O for example, however they still have the old school dining at two set times and set table, so for that reason we are unlikely to go again on anything except a short cruise
Thanks for the question. Excursions are a difficult one to talk about as they are different depending on your itinerary. We do talk more about excursions in our Ambassador Ambience series
Sailed on this ship in July to Iceland from Liverpool. Stopped off at Faroes. It was a fine day & the locals decided to go on a grind. This is a whale hunt. 78 whales & dolphins were rounded up and slaughtered in full view of the ship. It was absolutely horrific. I was physically ill. Ambassador put out a statement about the incident yet they're still calling at Torshavn. So...anyone deciding to sail to Iceland via Faroes in the summer could be faced with another horrific experience. Btw - it's an average ship and I didn't hear anyone describe the food as 'excellent'. Several cruises pre-COVID, every ship I sailed on had a member of staff with sanitiser at the entrance to the buffet & restaurants. This ship just had sanitiser on a stand with 98% of passengers ignoring them. No surprise many people had stomach upsets. Also many had problems with the bathroom, specifically blocked toilets. Ambassador - I will not be back.
Thank you for watching. We can completely understand your frustrations. The events in the Faroe Islands must have been horrific. It also sounds like the experience certainly didn’t meet expectations. We were only on 2 nights so had a limited experience.
@@TomandDomTravel I'm not going to post a media link - the images are horrific & the ship can be clearly seen proximate to the site. This incident was reported in Daily Mail UK, Washington Post, New York Post & other international media. Ambassador obvs couldn't have known it was going to happen & put out a statement condemning it but they're still visiting Torshavn in the whaling season, potentially exposing other passengers to this awful sight.
my first time on Ambition in 2 weeks...such a bargain too...Ambassador seem really inexpensive at the moment i hope it doesn't detract from the experience
We loved our Ambassador cruise. The ships aren’t new but we felt a very warm welcome. We judged them by how they presented themselves and that’s as Premium Value. Hope you have a great time. Our friends Sisters On The Seas will be on that cruise
Yes - that's pretty much a description of cruising these days - bingo on a boat; germ factories for gluttons. Done several cruises since 1998 & the overall standard's declined so decided after my experience on this ship it'll be my last cruise. Had another booked on Cunard Queen Victoria for next year. Cancelled when I got back & lost my deposit but cool with that.
Hi guys, thanks for your informative ,enjoyable Ambassador series. With the top drinks package, 15 alcoholic drinks are allowed a day , is that right please? Can we have speciality coffees and soft drinks on top of that? (Not that I think we'll manage 15 cocktails every day!)

Very interesting review of Ambition. Thanks for sharing it with us 👍
Thank you for watching 😀
This has made us even more excited for our cruise on Ambition next year!
You will love Ambition
Great review guys 😀
Thank you 😃
My wife and I are sailing on Ambition from Dundee in August. It will be our first foray afloat and your review was much appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! We hope you have a great cruise. Please let us know how it goes
@@TomandDomTravel thank you for responding. I’ll let you know what we think.
Thanks for this great snapshot video of Ambition guys 👌 Really looking forward to our mini break on her sister ship next year. 💜💜 x
Thank you for watching. Ambience is a great ship we enjoyed our cruise over Easter on her

Thank you. We will try and be clearer in future updates

Going in July to icland on ambition
Fabulous! We have just done a few vlogs about Iceland which you may find interesting as part of our Island Princess cruise

@@pamrobinson4350 that’s great to hear. We were only on the ship 2 nights so a small sample was on offer. A longer cruise may alter our thinking

Do you prefer ambience or ambition? Is shuffleboard on ambition? Interesting review ❤
Think we prefer Ambience but we spent more time on her. We spotted shuffleboard marked out on the promenade
How much are excursions in port? No one mentions them.
Thanks for the question. Excursions are a difficult one to talk about as they are different depending on your itinerary. We do talk more about excursions in our Ambassador Ambience series

Hullo Troll! You don't fool me, go & play in your nursery.

@@TomandDomTravel ah I will have to meet them and see if they can video me at the karaoke for my channel lol
Is there a casino on Ambition?
Thanks for the question. Although it appears on some deck plans there isn’t a casino on Ambition
How did you get your car back?
Thanks for your question! Ambassador provide a coach back to your embarkation port 😀👍
Did the coach drop anyone off in central Bristol or did you have to go back the Port.
@@shedhead400 it was only back to the port
Strange that you both reviewed this trip when only one of you actually went on the trip. .
With the channel being Tom and Dom we thought it might be stranger with just one of us
Hotel on water...with bingo.mmmm an acquired taste...
We had a great time with so much more to do than bingo
The bingo is not compulsory.

Hi thanks for asking. It’s only alcoholic drinks that have the limit. All other drinks such as specialty coffees and sodas are unlimited.
@@TomandDomTravel Thanks so much for answering, that's reassuring we don't have to count but doubt we'd drink that much!
