- This is our review of our Ambassador Ambience cruise experience. Does Ambassador really offer the warmest welcome at sea? In this review we look at the embarkation process in Tilbury, Food, Drink, Entertainment and much more. We sailed on Ambience for a British isles cruise in April 2023. We hope this review gives you a clear indication of what Ambassador has to offer.

Ambassador is Britains newest cruise line and we took the opportunity to sail with them in April 2023.Ambassador market themselves as Britain’s premium value no-fly cruise line who sail from 8 regional UK ports. Ambassador Ambience sailed around the British Isles and we were onboard for 11 nights. Ambassador Cruise Line currently has two ships in operation Ambience and Ambition.
We are Tom and Dom and we experienced our first cruise on the MSC Virtuosa during her UK staycation cruises in 2021. We are relatively new to cruising, however we can now say we are officially hooked.
Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available. Entertainment onboard a cruise ship is important to us and we enjoy theatre production shows, live music, quizzes and game shows. We love to explore different ports and destinations and enjoy sharing tips and tricks so that you can make the most of each port. We often explore ports independently but also book excursions that are interesting to us.
We have created a list of our cruise essentials. These are items we take with us when we travel and we hope they may be useful to you. We have also added a Wine list which contains some of the wines we have tried whilst cruising.

So far we have been on the following cruise ships, in order: MSC Virtuosa, Marella Explorer, Marella Explorer 2, Queen Mary 2, Sky Princess, Enchanted Princess, MSC Preziosa, P&O Arvia and Ambassador Ambience!

Great balanced review guys and agree with everything you say. We did Ambience in June/July to Norway. One of the best cruises we have done and the best entertainment we have had - the entertainment team work their socks off. Loved the Botanical Garden bar and food was good most of the time. We enjoyed it so much we have booked their Xmas/New Year cruise to the Canaries this year.
Thank you for watching! We were in the Canaries last year so we are sure you will have a fab time
We are doing the 32 night Eastern Mediterranean and it looks like we are in for a treat. Thank you for the information. First time on a smaller ship.
Thank you! We are sure you will have a great cruise! Please let us know ow how you get on.
Love that you guys have done this. I've never Cruised before but have 5 booked with the first in November. I have 2 booked with Ambassador onboard Ambience for next year.
Wow! 5 cruises. It is addictive. Please let us know how you get on
@@TomandDomTravel People say you have 5 booked and haven't cruised before how do you know you won't hate it? My answer is simple, I love to travel and don't care how I do it. I also watch videos by your good selves as well as Ben and David. It looks to be a blast.
Thanks guys - very informative. You boys look like you'd be a lot of fun to cruise with - out to have fun, and find the best in every experience whilst recognising anything that could be done better.
Thank you 😊 We do our very best to make the most of our cruises, usually we come back more tired 😂 We try to be as fair as possible in our reviews!
Love the terminal, looks more like a classic train station than a cruise terminal
They don’t make them like that anymore as they say
Thanks for this review - so informative as always. I'd never considered this line before but I certainly will now.
That’s great! So glad you enjoyed
The lifts were not dated and the corridors and rooms did not look old and don't need updating we travelled a year after your video so it should have looked even older!
That’s ok. It’s just our opinion in comparison to other ships we have been on.
Great video again both, really informative. On your visit to Kirkwall did you take a cruise tour or book your own?
Thank you! We took our excursion with Ambassador.
@@TomandDomTravel can't wait to see your other vlogs of this cruise.
Thank you, contacted and upgraded, no brainer really, for extra £6/day, easy spend more than that.
Absolutely! 💯 Enjoy
Thanks for such a great set of videos about your Ambassador cruise trip. After seeing your videos, we have planned a similar 13 day around the UK in June 24 with Ambassador. I'm American but my family heritage is from Scotland and on all past cruises on other cruise lines I wear a kilt with Prince Charlie coat and vest on formal nights, but this is with a British cruise company. Do you think people will think it inappropriate for me to wear a formal kilt on formal nights since I am American? My wife is British (Liverpool) and we are moving to Scotland next year to live up near Aberdeen, but I don't want people to think I am "culturally appropriating" (or whatever) to wear a kilt. I trust your advice.
We think with your heritage and if done properly with a real kilt etc it would go down well as you are respecting Scotland and its traditions. Hope that helps
A lot of entertainment venues 🎉
Entertainment was great
Really enjoyed watching your vlog, thank you. You guys planning to go on Ambition any time soon? We’re booked for next July out of Belfast. It’s a first for me to sail with someone other than Cunard so would love to get your opinion.
We would really like to go on Ambition. Hopefully soon. Ambassador certainly aren’t as premium as Cunard but offer exceptionally good value for money
No late night buffet 😮 Food and entertainment looked great!
We really loved the entertainment
Very very worried about the lift situation working and not working so put me of a bit
Hopefully this is resolved by now 🤞
Thanks for the review, great video. Going on this winter! Just a bit concerned as a wheelchair user due what you said about the lifts. Will the lifts regularly breaking down affect my ability to get around the ship? Thanks
Thanks for watching 😀 Short answer is no, we never experienced any problems with the mid and forward lifts! Ambience being a small ship those are easily accessible. The staff were always quick to fix the lift issues and the only problem was during peak periods, such as dinner, where there was only one lift working. Hopefully these issues would have been sorted by now! 😀
@@TomandDomTravel great, thank you. I’ll be binge watching your ambassador videos now I’ve booked one on Ambience!
Hi Tom and Dom,
thank you for the video very informative. I am a keen drone pilot, do you know if these are allowed on board? I have no intention of using this on the boat, it would be for the places we visit. Also do you know if we can get latte's and flat white coffee at all times of the day or only in the mornings.
Thank you for watching. We aren’t 100% sure about the drone and would hate to give you the wrong information so it certainly would be worth contacting Ambassador directly. In terms of Lattes and Flat Whites. Yes they are available all day from the coffee shops and select bars. Regular tea and coffee available 24/7
Thanks for this, I would love to see you travel and review on their ship Ambition.
Travelling on it next summer, I've been on an MSC cruise and husband will be a first timer. I'd love for him to see all the glitz and fan fare of a big ship, but on the other hand he has nothing to compare to. I really hope it is as nice as the Ambience.
Great review, very thorough, and love hearing other people's experiences and advice.
Hopefully an earlier dinner sitting for us after your thoughts. X
Hopefully we will be able to get onboard Ambition soon. Please let us know how you get on 😊
I'm traveling on it in July with my cousin a girls holiday
@@janinewoodbridge3814
Us as well in July, to Iceland.
Thanks Gents. My take is, Ambassador are attempting to cut food wastage to try and keep the quality as high as they can. And whoever thought, 'let's put on a straight forward play' is genius. It could catch on with other cruise lines.
The actors were a real highlight for us
If you have an Explorer Drinks package can you upgrade to Expedition and if so what is the extra cost. Great video very informative. Thank you.
Hi thanks for your question. You can upgrade onboard however it is always cheaper to do it before boarding or at the time of your booking. Onboard they will usually charge the difference between the two packages. Ambassador have different prices depending on the duration of your cruise. You can find there current prices here www.ambassadorcruiseline.com/on-board-experience/ambassador-drinks-packages/2023-drinks-packages-increase/ Hope this helps 😀
Thank for the video, lots of information and interesting stuff.
What are the times for the first and second showing at the Palladium theatre?
Thank you so much 😊 On our cruise the performances in the Palladium were at 8 and 10:15 😀
Going to Iceland next jjuly on this ship looks great
You are going to have a great cruise. Which ports are you doing?
Liverpool to Belfast then seydisfjordur then Grundarfjordur Iceland
It's the fire and ice cruise
Sorry to say we like to try but whilst there price remain so high we will not the are between £2500 & £3500 more expensive than princess and p&ò for similar cruise to iceland
That does sound a lot. Hopefully they will put on some offers soon. That being said we did both out Iceland cruises with Princess
Hi guys......I've never been with this company.....I've been with p@o. Ncl and rci....I'm willing to try more budget friendly cruises but I'm struggling here!!! 5 nights from Liverpool is on offer at 699pp from Liverpool in July.....yet p@o offer 7 nights around the canaries in Jan. Feb. For around 550 pp this includes flights and transfers......for a budget why would I go with ambassador 🤔 or am I missing something?
The feedback we had from passengers onboard was that Ambassador offer convenience with a smaller ship experience. The general feeling is that those passengers who enjoy ships like Aurora are those who would like Ambassador.
Does any restaurant offer food later on? I know when I’ve cruised with Fred Olsen they would offer buffet food from 22:00.
No there is no late night food offer on a restaurant. Just the canapés offered at 11pm in lounges
@@TomandDomTravel brilliant thank you.
My cruise leaves Liverpool 21st August....
Have a fantastic time 🚢
The "Abigails Party" performance wasn't mine or my wifes' cup of tea at all. I am sure it appeals to some, but definitely not to us. It was all a bit weird, but all of the other shows were great.
We can understand that. A straight play rather than a musical based production isn’t for everyone
I’m really excited about plays being performed on board, it’s so innovative. Looking forward to seeing a play on our cruise in December
Thats it I'm officially old or mature now😅.
As you've said you didn't know of Jimmy cricket
I'm going to jeopardy. Newspaper says there's 1000 jobs in jeopardy 😆😆
Sorry. We had to get someone to explain the wellies and the hat 🤣
Looks more like a Saga style ship over 70s
We certainly aren’t anywhere near 70’s and had a great time 😃
such a shame about the sea & grass we found all courses exceptional when we went.
I think we were just really unlucky with our mains. The rest of the meal was exceptional and we will go again!
Could a gluten & dairy free diet be catered for?
Yes, there was a gf section of the buffet and the chef welcomes people to discuss dietary requirements in Main Dining room on embarkation day
