Good video. We have just spent 17 days on Ambience and couldnt fault it. It is an old ship, but that just adds to its charm. Embarkation was so easy, from getting off the coach to sitting on deck with a drink was under 15 minutes. EVERY single member of staff we met was polite and efficient. The ship is kept spotlessly clean and all the food was amazing. The shows in the palladium were top class and the entertainment crew worked their socks off. We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise and found it superb value for money. We will definitely cruise with Ambassador again!!

Thank you for your really informative videos. We’ve taken 16 cruises on 5 cruise lines and I needed helpful reviews to decide whether to travel on a new cruise line. You’ve really helped my decision making, we have children so booked on a multigenerational next year. Our kids won’t join kids clubs and I think the old style cruising and craft club options will suit us. Always good to try new things. Thanks again.

Hey Tom and Dom. I saled from Brisbane to the south pacific on the Ambience when it was P&O's Pacific Dawn. I have been on alot of biger and new ships over the past 12 years. but the Dawn/Ambience is definetly my favorite. So glad that it was saved from scrap. I am organising a trip to the UK just so I can go on this beautiful lady again.

Amazing to see how little she has changed from when she was Pacific Dawn. The Palladium has not changed at all. Same carpet and same fabric on seats. The MDR Buckingham hasn’t changed either. The rest of the ship has had a new coat of paint and a name change here and there. She looks good for an old girl. Smooth seas and happy sailing, lads.

Hi there We have never been on cruise before we are a young 58 year old well 57 tbh lol. Can you tell us . What sort of clothing can you wear. I'm a tshirt jeans man and our lass is similar we tend to go smart casual. If we go to eat and go to disco would that be acceptable? We are going Norway in August on the ambassador cruise ship. Where both really excited but nervous. Just worried about what to wear ect. Also can u tell where to go visit whilst off the ship .if you have some suggestions that would be very much appreciated. Thanks again for your fantastic video of the ship

Nice video of Ambassador Cruise Line. It's nice that it has a place to do laundry. Just because it might be an older ship doesn't mean it isn't nice. Some of the specialty restaurants probably would not go to. Has a table tennis table which is good. Has an area in the center of the ship which basically is a public area. Casino is rather small. They probably don't have a craps table. Some of the food areas look interesting. Since you took a cruise on this ship, do t hey have breakfast in the MDR or only at the buffett?

I had a problem with the length of the bed, I am only a little over 6ft tall but my feet were over the end. Are either of you tall enough to notice that? They are not King or Queen size as on other ships. We thought the ents team were excellent and the food very good. The tender boat captains needed a refresher course though! 😆

Ship looks to be a well thought out and good place to travl .. but I don't like fixed evening meal times. My most recent cruises were with P&O and Norweigian, both ships we had freestyle dining, and normally go for 7-7.30pm. Perhaps the buffet has the answer, but it would be a shame to miss the main dining room meal options.

A very interesting video thank you for reviewing Ambassador, in my opinion this is a cruise line that is not going to last long, why?, they are using very old ships, they are bucking the UK cruise market trend of less formal nights, freedom dining and paying gratuities. The majority of UK cruise travelers wants less formal nights, they want to choose when they will dine (why not!) and most definitely do not want to pay gratuities so why does this cruise line want to adhere to this out of date business practice. It worries me that this cruise line can cancel a cruise AFTER the passengers have boarded, telling them "sorry your cruise has been cancelled but it's ok you can you can stay onboard tonight but you have to be off the ship by 09:30 tomorrow" I am a personal travel consultant and even after this fair review, I would not under any circumstances recommend this cruise line to my customers, especially when you can advise your customers to travel on the P&O Iona or Arvia to name a few.
@TomandDomTravel
Жыл бұрын
Hi thanks for your comment. We were pleasantly surprised by how many passengers onboard had previously cruised on Ambience, some up to 4 times and the cruise line has only been in operation for a year. Even though lines are moving to more resort style ships with less formal nights and any time dining there still seems to be a demand for traditional cruises. The Christmas cruise cancellation was not great, but it was not the first time a cruise has had to be cancelled. Fortunately, this type of incident is rare. We recently cruised on Arvia and we personally had fewer issues on Ambience, given, it was here Arvia maiden voyage. I suppose no cruise line is perfect. However, I strongly believe that the more cruise lines that are available is better for consumers.
