Ambassador Ambition - Review of Guernsey, Drinks, Entertainment and Tender. Better than P&O cruises?

#ambassadorcruise #ambassador #ambition #cruise #marella #pandocruises
Join us as we embark onto the island of Guernsey after an eventful trip on a tender. We get ripped off and rained on in Guernsey. Did we enjoy it though? We explore the local buses and show you how to use them - giving you a big tip to save money! A French lunch later and we get back on the tender for a very long, cold and wet ride back to Ambassador Ambition. Our night then begins as we take you to dinner in the Buckingham Restaurant and then give a review of the bars, drinks and entertainment. Our vlog is packed with hints and tips to make your time on Ambassador Cruises or on the island of Guernsey as enjoyable and cost effective as possible.

Great vlog. We were some of the lucky ones and got back before it got too bad, but still took about 10-15 mins to dock with the ship when we got back, we saw the lifeboats bobbing around later and felt so sorry for them. Just realised you have popped another couple up so off to watch them later, great bringing back memories of a lovely cruise.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thanks Karen. Hope you are enjoying your travels and celebrations. 😁👍

[@sistersontheseas]

We’re still glad that we didn’t get off, it was bad enough watching the tenders from the ship! 🚢

[@TravellingLightLisa]

😄 yes I bet you had a more comfortable day onboard!!

[@pipfield1901]

Enjoying your vlogs, informative and smiley! Love your navy striped dress too, thank you for showing your cruise.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thanks for watching and for your kind comments. So glad you are enjoying our vlogs. We are trying to improve as we go. Happy travels!

[@daveauk6898]

Hi guys, great vlogs! You have become our goto vlogers on KZbin cruising as we will be sailing on Ambition next January and as you know good information is priceless. We are novices but we have sailed on Ambiance and have another two sailings on this ship this year. It’s surprising what a bit of research can do for you!!! Keep up the great work.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thanks for your kind comments. It means a lot to us novice 'KZbinrs'. Please feel free to ask in the comments if you have any questions on Ambition. We are always happy to help if we can. Thanks for watching! 😁👍

Guernsey is a fabulous place and even though you had bad weather you seemed to have a great day .. Those crepes looked delicious!! Looking forward to the next instalment..

[@TravellingLightLisa]

We always try make the most of the destinations, whatever the weather! The crepes were very nice. On to the exotic destination of Plymouth next week! 😁 Thanks for watching.

[@susandean1064]

We all make mistakes ( bus tickets). Mine was taking cold weather clothes to Jersey in March! Has to visit M & S to buy summer clothes. Another very enjoyable watch.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

We make more mistakes than most! Thanks for watching 👍

[@gillybean3308]

you were standing outside Monsoon too ! my friend works there in Guernsey i was born there but live in Vancouver canada now if you do an Alaska cruise ill come say hi !

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Wow! It never ceases. To amaze us where people watch us from. We would love to do an Alaska cruise. We have only been to Toronto. Thanks so much for watching and commenting it is much appreciated ❤️

[@ThamesShips]

Another great video. Guernsey is a nice place to visit. You have made me want to try a Staffordshire oatcake now!

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Cheers! Thanks for watching 👍 You can't beat an oatcake with a bit of cheese on.

Guernsey my Island home.. Sarnia cherie, sweet gem of the sea home of my childhood ,my heart yearns for thee, thy voice calls me ever, forget thee I'll never sweet Island of beauty, Sarnia cherie.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Sarnia; dear Homeland, Gem of the sea. Island of beauty, my heart longs for thee. Thy voice calls me ever, in waking, or sleep, Till my soul cries with anguish, my eyes ache to weep. In fancy I see thee, again as of yore, Thy verdure clad hills and thy wave beaten shore. Thy rock sheltered bays, ah; of all thou art best, I'm returning to greet thee, dear island of rest. Guernsey was certainly wave beaten on the day we visited. Thanks for watching 👍

[@BrummieNik]

A sterling effort in what was clearly (or not so clearly !) rotten weather. I always thought you were regular tea drinkers when I see you out in the garden. Obviously, a large cup of Breton cider instead. Probably accounts for why the lines on your lawn are zig-zag ! Nice to hear Lisa doing her audition for “Allo, Allo !” this week 😂

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thank you ...yes you know my secret now when you see me mowing the lawn but I'm taking a rest until half cut June as you've probably noticed with my collection of daisies 🤣

[@susantwining2879]

you really could not see much on that bus and the tender boat situation sounds a bit tricky but a very good video

[@TravellingLightLisa]

It wasn't too bad looking through the front windscreen of the bus. Thanks for watching and commenting it is much appreciated 😁👍

[@harlanabraham7772]

You didn't know you could pay with a debit card. I probably would have gotten the shore trip via the cruise line. Would love to go to Guernsey. Have some stamps from their. I collect stamps. Good that you made it back to the ship. Hope you had some tea. Don't like sushi. Spinach Pie is usually very good. It's a Greek dish. My wife would love Lemon Meriange Pie. Mostly drink wine and usually with a meal.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thanks for watching. Yes I also love lemon meringue pie. In fact, I love all sorts of cakes and pudding. Guernsey is a lovely island. I hope you get chance to visit there.

[@ASCOT1111]

If they were go to Jersey, far more to see, even on the bus.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Jersey is somewhere we would love to visit. I wouldn't want to do it on a cruise, though. Thanks for watching 👍

[@JourneyfromAtoZ]

I can't imagine being stuck on those tenders for two hours during choppy seas. Those poor passengers 😲 good you still made the most out of a very wet Guernsey though!

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thank you for watching. We always try and have a good time whatever the conditions. I always say there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. And I have lots of bad clothing! 🤣

[@keith6400]

In my experience the chances of landing is only 50% Quite often the sea is too rough for running tender operations. I was stuck on a tender for one hour on one occasion due to sea conditions becoming too rough after we had landed. The ship repositioned but during this time one woman on our tender experienced heart problems and another tender ran out of fuel. Guernsey experiences amongst the roughest sea conditions for a tender port. If you are prone to sea sickness the tender is a key part on the cruise to avoid. especially if you get into a stuffy diesel fumed area of the craft. Standard monty on tender disembarkation; cruise line excursion people first then high tier loyalty people and finally all others. Stay for a late breakfast and disembark when the crowds have gone.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

We spoke to one man who had been to Guernsey 13 times previously on cruises and had never been able to tender into port until this time, when it was still touch and go. I think that gives an indication of the sea conditions in this area that you mentioned. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. 👍

[@Lyle-tm1tm]

Overall, it seems like you enjoyed your cruise. Would you try the other ambassador ship which seems slightly bigger, or would you go with another cruise line next time? Thanks for the great review. Only one thing left for me to do; book a cruise.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

We definitely want to try Ambience as well. We have a full review video coming out soon. Thank you for watching and commenting. It is much appreciated. Let us know what you book and give us a heads up if you snag a bargain!

[@gillybean3308]

loved your stripy dress .. where’s it from ? nice vlog

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Thanks so much 🙏 really appreciate that. My dress was originally from Monsoon but I got it from the Cancer Research Shop. I always try to get my dresses from charity shops if I can. 😃

[@cranwell5481]

Why is the dining room so bright? The bar as well?

[@TravellingLightLisa]

We tend to eat relatively early, so the light from outside was bright, as well as the internal lighting in the main dining room. In the bar, we sat where it was brightest for the camera. We didn't find the ship to be overly bright, though. Thanks for watching 👍

[@DiscoDavesPubReviews]

'Schoolboy Error' Lisa. Not all stones were unturned. If you paid £1.50 would you have wanted to hop off any places and then pay £1.50 again to continue? Giles, the soup joke, you need to get tips off Disco Dave, all about the delivery. Good to see a card game of 'Shithead' going on but NO DRINKS. I wouldn't accept that and would play in one of the other bars. They could have little round tables for you to place your drinks on.

[@TravellingLightLisa]

Our journeys are full of schoolboy errors. We like to pass our stupidity on as a salutary warning to fellow travellers. If Disco Dave has any tips for me, please write them on the back of an envelope and pass them along. All advice is greatly appreciated!👏 Thanks for watching 👍
