I was on this mini/taster cruise, and can only echo how excellent it was all round. The crew and entertainment’s team were brilliant. What a great vlog, and it was just like being back on board and living it all again! Looking forward to the next instalment Lucy!
Did the Norwegian fjords from Dundee on Ambition in June. Absolutely brilliant in all aspects entertainment team exceptional, seen worse on broadway. Love ambassador .
Very informative and helpful video. We saw the same theatre show onboard last night and really enjoyed it! Totally agree also with how friendly and welcoming the staff were 😃 We lovvvveee a silent disco and a good old gameshow!!
Great video, thank you…my wife and I are going on the mini UK cruise from Liverpool next week, our first ever cruise. So this has been a great source of information so thanks again…
Cant beat a small ship cruise. I have done 5 cruises with Azamara and love it because it is small. I have done Virgin Voyages Resilliant Lady in September, and although a gorgeous ship, it's just too big for me. Your vlog was so interesting as I have recently been looking at Ambassador Cruises for a cruise next summer. Thank you for a very interesting insight!
Thanks for the great vlog Lucy. We’ve sailed on Ambience twice and loved the Ambassador experience on her. Unfortunately we’re booked up for 2024 holidays but we’ll be sailing on Ambition to Spain and Portugal in 2025 - really looking forward to it after seeing your video
Thank you for your assessment of Ambition. My wife and I are sailing on her from Dundee for a 12-night cruise at the end of August. This will be our first cruise - hopefully not our only. Thanks also for focusing on the food available; I’m coeliac so it was reassuring to see a good spread of gluten free food. Do you have to book to see the shows in the theatre? Kind regards.
Thank so much for watching! I hope you have a lovely time and enjoy it as much as we did 😊 it was great to see they cater for so many different needs! Nope, no booking needed!
Thank you! After I took the tablet I felt much better and I highly recommend Stugeron! That’s what I always use, and if I need it it’s worked every time ☺️
We did 11 nights on the other Ambassador ship (Ambience) earlier in 2023 and the entertainment was amazing! More production shows than we’ve seen with anyone else, live music in all the bars and a group of actors on boards that were doing full plays and shorter vignettes/sketches on sea days. Definitely a plus on Ambassador for us.
This is the first time I am watching one of your videos. To the buffett, very good. Love to eat. Like vegetarian and vegan food. Do like some meat. Pasta is very good. Some fish is better than others. The bread station looks good. Like desserts also. Is there good scenery in Tilbury? Seems very windy there. Prefer indoors on a ship most times. Like afternoon tea. And I'm not British. When you drink wine you should hold your wine glass by the stem. That way you do not warm your wine. Table tennis, love to play. No cruise line has a midnight buffett anymore. Only on certain cruises, usually longer cruises. Ambassador Cruises doesn't have a casino. I like pizza. Vegetable Spring Roll looks good. The Tofu and Vegetable Chow Main looks good also. Several desserts look good. Didn't know the Purple Turtle was a Wine Bar. Not a big fan of canapes. After the show I would normally go to the casino. Have you been on many cruises? Which cruise lines are your favorites? New subscriber.
Thanks for your comment! Tilbury isn’t very scenic but there is a Fort nearby ☺️ Thank you for the tip about the wine glass! I think my favourite line so far is Celebrity, Ambassador coming a very close second!
@@Travellifewithlucy My late wife and I have taken many cruises on Celebrity. Haven't been on them in years. They don't like solo cruisers. Since my wife passed away I've been solo on everything I do.
Quick question about the bus from train station to the terminal. Anybody know, does the driver take cash/card or either? How much is the fare?? Thank you.
So you parked at Tilbury but sailed from Bristol? Why didnt you park at Bristol. I'm sailing from Tilbury in 2026 for 31 days in the Med & hopefully I will do a Caribbean cruise of 41 days in 2027. As a solo its very hard getting cabins with them, so book early & prices are nearly what 2 pay. You can wait for last few weeks to see you can catch a bargain fare, but solos are few.
The cruise finished in Tilbury and living in Essex meant we didn’t have to do the long drive to Bristol and back :) we’d have needed to get a coach either way, but doing it that way made more sense. Solo prices could definitely be better across all cruise lines! Some charge more than 2 people :(
I hate these huge ships, they're not really cruise ships but entertainment centres with gambling slot machines & only do a few stops. Ambassador are proper cruise ships & on a long cruise stop on nearly every day to every other day.
Hey! Hope you have a lovely time! This is what it says on the Ambassador website Ambassador Drinks Packages may be booked up to 7 days before the sailing date. If within 7 days of sailing, packages can only be purchased onboard, and the ‘Onboard Price’ will be applicable. Prices are per person per cruise ☺️ I’ll leave the website here as they have some really helpful information with up to date prices ☺️ www.ambassadorcruiseline.com/on-board-experience/ambassador-drinks-packages/

Really useful vlog.❤
Thank you! ☺️
Great video. Agree, looks a nice line.

Looks a nice ship. The only thing putting us off is getting there, parking
The ship looks lovely. 🛳️ Some great info in this, really helpful for us now that we’re in planning mode for our first Ambassador cruise!
It really was stunning! You’ll have the best time 😊

Love a good cruise vlog, looks like a nice one
Thank you!! 😊
Great vlog. Did you find the seasickness got better? This is what worries me
Thank you! After I took the tablet I felt much better and I highly recommend Stugeron! That’s what I always use, and if I need it it’s worked every time ☺️
So funny when nail polish is moving
We have thought about Ambassador in the past. Nice for a taster cruise I think, but we do like our entertainment. 👍👋
Yeah it was perfect insight into the company! 😁

@@harlanabraham7772 so sorry to hear about your wife. Yes, Celebrity and some other lines will charge more than double for solo passengers!
Might do this ship from Dundee
You’ll have a great time! 😊
Quick question about the bus from train station to the terminal. Anybody know, does the driver take cash/card or either? How much is the fare?? Thank you.
A single fare is £1.50 per adult & they accept cash and card, but if paying by cash they don’t give change ☺️ hope this helps!
@@Travellifewithlucy thank you for your prompt reply. Going on Ambience in autumn but your Ambition vlogs were very useful, and reassuring. All best.
