We give a full review of our experience on Ambassador Cruises Ambition ship. We discuss the pros and the cons of the food, the entertainment, the ship, the cabin and decide if it was worth the cost.
Will we ever cruise with Ambassador again?

Two flogs in one week, you are spoiling us! It is always a joy to watch you and you are always very fair and informative. Keep up entertaining and informing us. We hope Ambassador Cruises are taking note of your suggestions… very practical and easy to do. Love your positive attitude.

A really well-crafted video, that summarises everything anyone would wish to know about sailing with this group. All done in a straightforward, informative, honest manner with a touch of gentle humour. Must suggest to Gary Bembridge (Tips for Travellers) that he needs to include more detail on toilet leg room in his future videos ! Fully understand that you needed to taste every wine - purely in the interests of journalistic research. Mind you, Lisa seems to do that when I spot her doing the weekly shop at Tescos 😂

As seasoned P&O (and soon to be Cunard) cruisers, we watched with interest as we were considering booking. We're glad you had a good time and enjoyed your honesty but this cruise line is not for us, too much weirdness! (Being sat at a table for breakfast, self service starters and desserts, fixed dining, no late night buffet (That was the straw......) 👍

@clanger_6870 You are right. It felt a bit weird to us at first, but we did quickly get used to the quirks. I can understand your concerns re the late night buffet as I can get the munchies after a couple of drinks. Thanks for watching, and we are glad we helped with your decision 😀 👍

Having cruised with Ambassador I found this a very fair review. However, if you have a different embarkation and disem arkation port, then Ambassador have a transfer coach which will take you back to your original port. It is about £50 and really saves you a lot of hassle.
@TravellingLightLisa
@TravellingLightLisa 8 дней назад
@westonblues Thank you for watching and commenting. It is much appreciated. If we had lived nearer to either port we may have been tempted by the transfer option. However, it didn't seem to make much sense to get bussed all across the country from Bristol to Tilbury (or vice versa) to then drive back up to Staffordshire. We would definitely go back with Ambassador again. We would probably like to try Ambience next time.

Have to say that I'm not sure that I would go on Ambience again. I don't know whether we were just unlucky but we found the service in the dining room to be poor. Our evening waiter was very inexperienced and there was usually something missing from the table and service was slow. We had a few breakfasts in the dining room and one morning we waited an hour for the main part of the breakfast to arrive. Eventually someone on the table approached the Maitre 'd to complain. At the same time a lady who sat on our table in the evening was approaching management as their breakfast waiter had been incredibly rude to her! Also found some of the waiters in certain bars didn't seem to be very interested in serving you - not all, some were lovely but others couldn't be bothered and you had to approach them and disturb their chat to get a drink - not something that I have found on any other cruise. On the positive side, check in was very quick and efficient, entertainment by the young singers and dancers was excellent and I enjoyed the craft session that I took part in. Just felt that there needed to be a general tightening up and training of staff but some people had better experiences so perhaps we were unlucky.

@TravellingLightLisa 16 дней назад
@fionapenwarne5560 It is funny, but that was the same experience we had on Cunards Queen Mary 2 in the main dining room a short time after this cruise. We said exactly the same in that the experience really depends on your waiters, and it could be poles apart, just tables apart! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience.

Having been on Ambition on almost 5 times (going again next week) re taxis, there are ALWAYS taxis outside and you may have to wait a few minutes for more to come along so no need to prebook a taxi from Bristol. You can always order an Uber too from Bristol, if you have the app.

Generally, we don't table share either and weren't particularly looking forward to it, but it was fine. It absolutely depends on your tablemates though. We have previously sat with some odious people that I would normally go out of my way to avoid. And I am sure some people would say the same about us! 😀 I am sure that if you spoke to staff they could try and accommodate you on a table for two but obviously there are no guarantees.

We have always cruised with Marella but we did not enjoy our last cruise on explorer as it seems Tui have changed their business model to maximize profit at all costs so we are looking for a cruise line that offers the same value and cruise experience that Marella used to offer. we are now looking at P+O or Ambassador, any thoughts?? Dennis Pennis? Ha.

We enjoyed Ambassador, and Lisa is currently on a P&O cruise on Aurora. She seems to be enjoying it. I am sure there will be videos! It's mostly about the destinations for us. The ship is a secondary consideration. We would go with any line as long as the price was OK. Not sure that will help you much 😂 Thanks for watching.

Regarding the gratuities. As a single passenger I always end up paying more, sometimes 100% more, although not with Ambassador usually. I always opt out of the gratuities two nights before the end of the cruise I go down to Reception and ask for the form for the gratuities to be rescinded. I then leave a tip for steward and waiting staff separately. Not as much as the gratuities.

​@TravellingLightLisa before covid could usually expect to pay 45% single supplement with Fred Olsen. After covid example, I paid £5300 for a 26 night cruise, inside cabin Deck 1, couple I met one day had paid less than me, had an ocean view cabin on deck 7 They had a buy one get one free. What do single travellers get? And travellers who have been loyal to their cruise line. That us why I tried Ambassador.
