  • Ambassador is Britain's Newest Cruise Line and Ambience is their flag ship! This VLOG details our Embarkation from Tilbury Cruise Terminal and our first day onboard. We look at Ambassadors Embarkation from Tilbury. We get a first look at Centre Court, the Lido Deck and Observatory Lounger on Ambience. We have our evening meal in the Buckingham Restaurant and we are excited by the entertainment offerings onboard. Ambience and Ambassador have actors onboard and this something we have never seen before!

    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.
    Check out our Amazon Store to find out more - www.amazon.co....
    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 to see inside Tilbury - I’ve actually never cruised from there and actually have no idea where it is. It certainly looks completely different to the more modern versions down at Southampton - funny it’s still such a quiet terminal…! Great video as always, gents!

      Thank you. We hadn’t a clue where it was either. Tilbury has been in the news a lot this week and has lots of history associated with it

    Hi Tom and Dom. I remembered seeing this blog previously and dug it out to refresh my memory. Why? Because my daughter, Michaela, and I are booked into Ibis this Sunday and planning to have breakfast in IKEA!!! We were booked on Ambience for 5 night Xmas markets cruise but she is stuck in dry Dock so have been changed to Ambition for 4 nights on Monday. Decided to go down on Sunday anyway. We are not disappointed cos I wanted to try Ambition and the changed itinerary now includes Antwerp - my favourite port! And they have compensated us very satisfactorily. Thanks for this blog which put my mind at rest over the hotel. Cheers 😊

      Thank you so much for getting in touch. We can understand it’s difficult when plans change at the last minute but we are so glad you plan to make the most of it. Please let us know how you get on. Have a fabulous time on Ambition. She is a lovely ship. We recently did a video about it if you want a preview 😀

    Great concise commentary on the embarkation and description of the room. We've made our minds up to go on the Ambience.. Only one question, was there much noise from the engines, or entertainment areas heard in your room.?

    • @TomandDomTravel

      Noise was minimal. Like most ship they was some noise when docking but other than that all very good

    A Dolphin class ship originally the Regal Princess sailed for a number of years with P&O Aus designed by Renzio Piano and considered a large ship when she was launched.

We used to cruise with cruise and maritime so very interested to see if Ambassador is very different . Love sailing from Tilbury😊

      We just spent 17 nights on Ambience and enjoyed every second of it. Its a lovely old ship and the staff are all so polite and friendly. The food was superb weather in the Borough market or the main restaurant and the palladium shows are superb. Hope you enjoy your cruise as much as we did,

    Hi both, thanks for your comprehensive video. Do you pay for tea, coffee or hot chocolate in the Dickens bar? If so, is it reasonable. Thanks Jill

      Hi Jill. Thanks for watching. The hot drinks in Dickens are chargeable at a reasonable price. Tea and coffee are available in the buffet included in the cruise fare although not the same quality.

    Having read the poor reviews of Ambience on Cruise Critic, your reaction is interesting. How did you find the food generally as that’s the thing people on Cruise Critic complained about a lot (bland, uninteresting, all the same etc).

    • @TomandDomTravel
      @TomandDomTravel  Рік тому +2

      We did not have that experience at all. We found the food varied and generally of a high standard both in the MDR and the buffet.
