Ambassador Ambition FULL REVIEW - Is it better than P&O or Marella. Is it VALUE for money?

#cruise #ambassador #cruisereview
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?

Having done P and O and Marella several times ( both of which I love and would go on again), completely agree with your review, Ambassador best food and entertainment we have had on a ship. And loved the smaller size.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

We would probably go on any ship as long as it got us to where we wanted to go. You are right, the entertainment was great.

[@karenh18]

@@TravellingLightLisa We're much the same, the itinerary is the most important, we're even trying a Carnival next year! :)

Good honest review well done will now give the a try

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching 👍

[@user-lb4dn2ke3l]

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.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thanks for watching. Yes, two in a week, we are suckers for punishment! 😆

Toiletrys not toilets,thank you for honest reviews,just booked ambassador to try it.glad I found your blog

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Aww, thanks! We hope you have a good time. Please let us know how you get on! Thanks for watching, and we are glad you found our videos useful.

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 😂

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thanks Nick. Toilet leg room is very important! I spend a lot of time there completing my paperwork 😆 I'll let Lisa know what you said when she wakes up from her Cabernet coma.

Brilliant VLOG guys - You’ve been great Ambassadors for Ambassador Cruises .. You’ve been really fair and balanced in this review and it’s a cruise line we’d certainly consider.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Cheers! We were very happy with the experience and if they have the right itinerary we would certainly go back with Ambassador. Thanks for watching.

[@Mazza240]

I love how you both tell it as it is and also how much you’ve paid for the cruise. You don’t get that much on a lot of the other vloggers.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Cheers. We think it is important to mention the price. We work hard for our money and want to spend it wisely. We are happy to share our thoughts as to whether we feel something is good value or not. Thanks for the feedback.

[@Mazza240]

What a great review. Like yourselves, we’ve only been cruising since 2016 and only done Marella! I think I’ll definitely have a look at Ambassador. Thank you both xx

[@TravellingLightLisa]

You are welcome. We have only just started to spread our wings with other cruise companies. Ambassador was a very pleasant surprise and we would love to try Ambience as well. Thank you for watching and commenting it is much appreciated 😀👍

[@sassygoulden8762]

Great video

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thank you for your kind comment, and thanks for watching 👍

[@pipfield1901]

Great video, thanks. I spent one night on Ambience for the Christmas party night which was great so booked Scandinavia with them next year...Can't wait, I don't mind a dated cabin as long as it's clean and liked the layout, interesting to see Ambition TFS.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

No problem! Thanks for watching and commenting it is much appreciated. Enjoy Scandinavia 😀👍

[@livdean6716]

Fabulous review! Toilet situation looked awkward haha

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thank you for watching. It was a little tight!

[@AdeReeves]

We have just come off the Discovery 2 and noticed a lot of changes ... This cruise line is tempting us to try something different after 28 Tui based cruises...

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Wow! 28 Tui cruises! We are only on 5 at the moment. If you find a cruise that has a good itinerary on Ambassador, we would highly recommend it. Don't book with Cunard though, until you have watched our videos that we have coming up. 😆 Thanks for watching 👍

@@TravellingLightLisa Do you mind if I ask if there was a disco? We do like to end our evenings with a boogie!! x

[@TravellingLightLisa]

@debshomegarden8501 The Cavern is the late night venue, but I think it all slowed down at around half 12. I'm not too sure, though, as Lisa goes to bed at 8.30! 🤣 Not like you crazy cats!

[@debshomegarden8501]

@@TravellingLightLisa LOL!!! Thank you, we're seriously thinking of trying an alternative cruise line after last week. Maybe we'll we'll catch up with you guys at sea one day

[@TravellingLightLisa]

@@debshomegarden8501 we are enjoying your vlogs at the moment. Was it disappointing on D2? It would be lovely to bump into you guys on a cruise.

[@izzymitchell3239]

Just back on Monday on Marella discovery,standards really slipping I think,plus they lost our case from marmaris hotel to port 25 min journey and really they didn't help us at all.We were offered other passengers clothes from lost property box,they said we can give you toilets didn't arrive,told us just go but more cloths,with what buttons??? I cried 77yrs old in tears never will I travel with them again,ever.We have done loads cruises with them over the years,and where's the loyalty to passengers.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

What a horrible experience! So sorry to hear this. We were impressed by Ambassador on this cruise. Thanks for watching and I hope you can find a good cruise company for you.

[@ThamesShips]

Excellent and informative review. I'm glad you enjoyed the cruise but there seems to be one or two areas that Ambassador could improve on. I thought your canapes joke was funny as well!

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thank you for watching again and indulging our Black Country humour! 😆

[@joanfreestone1707]

The ship looks good but I'm not keen on table-sharing. I like a wrap-around promenade deck, too. Good to hear it's a friendly ship.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thr friendliness made the table sharing tolerable, but there are never any guarantees. We really missed not having a wraparound prom deck. Thanks for watching

[@susandean1064]

Think you might have found Ambassador a few new clients . No major problems except for the weather at times.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

I'll book you on for your birthday 🎂 😆

[@susandean1064]

@@TravellingLightLisa thank you but no thanks

[@maureendawson7866]

Sounds lovely, but it will be a no no for us , husband hates sharing tables, he said someone always wants to talk to him just as he has a mouthful of food .

[@TravellingLightLisa]

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. Thanks for watching 👍

[@michaelthompson6885]

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.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

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.

[@michaelthompson6885]

@@TravellingLightLisa thanks for the prompt reply we will look out for the P+O Vlog.

@@michaelthompson6885 I have been looking at Explorer cruises in November. It would be interesting to see what has changed since the last time we went on. It's been a while.

[@georgeswindel8367]

Good review. Agree with you in the main. Def good VFM. one question. What is your view on the £7.00 per person per night charge?

[@TravellingLightLisa]

We have no major issue with the gratuities as they are declared up front. I would, however, always prefer everything to be included in the price. We had the drinks package, which included the gratuities anyway. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@georgeswindel8367]

OK tks for your reply. We were ojn a short cruise from Bristol to Liverpool a week or so ago , very cheap indeed, and agree the ship and most of the services were of a very good standard
