Hi Tom & Dom. thank you. We have just returned from our Ambience cruise and found your videos very useful for our first cruise experience. Watching you before the cruise gave us tips on what to look out for from embarking to eating and entertainment. We had a great time. 👍
I've always wondered if I could take a bike on a cruise with me, but would never have even thought about it being one that folds up, ha! Looks like I'll just need to stick to walking...!!
Very informative video. We are seriously considering Ambassador for our next cruise due to local ports. One question I have is, in the main dining room, are there tables for 2 available. Whilst being quite sociable people, we do not like to be seated with other people at mealtimes. This is always a consideration for us when choosing a cruise.
Thanks for your question! There are tables for 2 in the main dining and these are allocated on a first come first service basis! Passengers asked the head waiter on embarkation day to allocate them a table for 2, if there was one available they could have it! 😀 it’s definitely pot luck but it is possible 😀
Thanks for the video, Regarding dining if you are not using the allocated time and eat somewhare else like Borough Market do we have to cancel our dining slot or can do as we please on the night? Thank You
The table is allocated for the cruise. You can use it or not each night. Although if you are on a shared table we recommend letting someone know so the table aren’t waiting for you to arrive before ordering
Does Ambassador have any speciality restaurants (in addition to the buffet and the main restaurant) If so, are they any good and was there a large surcharge? Was there a good choice of shore excursions and how well priced were they? What would you say the general age demographic on these ships are? Thank you so much!
Thanks for your question! Ambience has 2 main specialities. Saffron an Indian inspired restaurant and Sea and Grass a fine dining experience! We found them to be very reasonable and Saffron was outstanding! In Mondays video we review Sea and Grass! Shore excursions were plentiful and again really reasonable in comparison to other cruise lines! The demographic on our cruise was predominately over 50! But there was a huge range of ages onboard! Hope this helps! 😀
Thanks guys, can i ask for more info on the smoking areas please? Are they standing areas only or are they seated? Can you relax in a smokong area? Also where on deck are they? Id like my cabin fairly near one on deck 7 and not have to walk the full length of the ship for a smoke first thing in the morning. Are there facilities close by the one on the lido deck? Somewhere to get a coffee? Thanks
Hi thanks for your question! 😀 Up on deck 12 there is an area sectioned off with comfortable seating, tables etc. it’s as comfortable as all the other public seating areas 😀 On the Promenade deck the smoking area is through the after doors by the Buckingham restaurant! Best bet would be a cabin on deck 6 mid/aft as this would give you quick access. The coffee shop is located next to the Lido smoking area! Hope this helps 😀
Morning, my question is that I have a smart phone, I don't wish to use the wifi package but can I use my phone with its 5g, if so do I need to get anything in advance, I am going in 2 weeks.
Thanks for the insights into Ambassador. I'm booked onto a weekend cruise to Antwerp in December, I'm only really going as I want to explore this Belgian city, and I'm not bothered about the ship, it seems very stuffy and old fashioned to me (I've just returned from my third Virgin voyage so I'm not really Ambassador's target audience). But hopefully it will be a good weekend nonetheless
I have not heard anyone say if there is bingo on these ships. Also I would like to know if anyone played Bridge in the card room and if there are puzzles and games for people to use?
Hi Carol thanks for your question! The card room Aces and Eights, was very popular with passengers, the bridge tournaments were not hosted and passengers ran and organised their own events! There were no hosted board games but passengers were again invited to organise there own events and bring there own games. There is a large notice board in Aces and Eights to advertise events. Bingo is available in the Purple Turtle on most evenings at 5pm! Hope this helps 😀
Travel agent when booking said it was ok to take my mobility scooter ,it dosent fold down ,but it dismanties into 3 pieces ,the base 1m long ,the seat ,,and the battery, can't get advice from ambassador as booked drought agent ,I'm worried of turning up at dock side ,and not allowed to take it on board ,travelling on ambition from Dundee
Hi thanks for your question. Ambassador state that you can bring small mobility device but it must not weigh more than 45kgs in total and must not exceed 75cm in width. You can find more info here www.ambassadorcruiseline.com/information/mobility-policy/#:~:text=Any%20mobility%20device%20being%20taken,not%20exceed%2055cm%20in%20width. Sorry we can’t be more helpful.
So am I right in thinking there is no off line facility for passenger to find info or make bookings while on board? We haven’t paid for Wi-Fi for our cruise next weekend. Looking forward to it whatever😊
You can book shore excursions whilst off the ship. You don’t need any internet package to use the ambassador page whilst on the ship. If you don’t have a phone there are touch screens
@@TomandDomTravel I'm not sure I understand how you do this without paying for the WiFi, or do you connect without paying, and it just blocks everything except the web page for booking things?

While I won’t be sailing on Ambassador, I watched your video because you guys do a fabulous job and are delightful to watch.
That is so kind of you to say! We really appreciate it 😄

Thank you so much! We are so glad it was helpful. Will you be cruising again? 😊
@@TomandDomTravel we will definitely be cruising again. 🛳️
Tom is GORGEOUS!!
Thanks! Hope you found the video useful 😊
@@TomandDomTravel of course I did! Very helpful and a delight for my eyes to see the gorgeous Tom!
I've always wondered if I could take a bike on a cruise with me, but would never have even thought about it being one that folds up, ha! Looks like I'll just need to stick to walking...!!
We hadn’t considered it ourselves until it was mentioned.
Thank you, very informative...Off around the British Isles on Ambience 02/09/23.

Thank you. Yes, your info has really helped. I've been searching for info on smoking areas for ages, but it just isn't available. Thanks guys 💐
Hi. Is Liverpool classed as a regional port?
Yes it is
If you don't have a smart phone and can't print boarding passes what do you do.
They just asked for passports and names when we checked in
Morning, my question is that I have a smart phone, I don't wish to use the wifi package but can I use my phone with its 5g, if so do I need to get anything in advance, I am going in 2 weeks.
5g will not be available at sea but will be in ports from there you will need to check with your provider what they charge
Thank you.@@TomandDomTravel

Ambassador are very different to Virgin much more traditional! I’m sure you will have a great time!

Is there a gym on board?
Yes there is a small gym. You can see what it looks like in our ship tour

Do they have bingo on ambition thanx
Yes most days in the early evening
Thank you both very much for replying. Take care both x
My booking shows I have the Ambassador fare, does this cover gratuities and coffee, soft drinks
The ambassador fare does include gratuities and soft drinks but not premium teas or coffees!
Thank you...really enjoy your video talk on Ambassador
Hi guys, my Ambassador Fare includes the Expedition Package which covers everything including premium teas and coffees.
Excellent that’s the top package. We had this also. Just watch out for the water in the cabin that is an extra charge
