Creator's Key Takeaways

Ambassador is not the cruise line for everyone. But I took a trip on the smallest of their two and a half ships. And there was enough to love that I'm returning four times over the next couple of years.

I love the Baked Alaska parade. It's pointless. It's tacky. It's from times gone by. Obviously, I love it.

I hate that there's no proper late night snacks. If you are selling a traditional cruise ship, then stick with the traditions.

I love the crew, even the ones that can't do ballet toes. Ambassador marketing fluff repeats the warmest welcome at sea mantra, and to be fair, it is bloody good.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go to the theater to watch a show, not to chat at full volume.
If you want late-night snacks, be prepared to use the buffet.
Take a book or write a book for daytime entertainment.

YouTube Video Description

Ambassador isn’t the cruise line for everyone. But it also isn’t the meme that some reviewers make it out to be. I took a trip on their smallest ship, Ambition, and honestly… there was enough to like that I’m already booked to go back four more times. This video breaks down 10 things I loved onboard — and 10 things I absolutely fluffing hated. From old-school muster drills to am-dram theatre weirdness, from midnight non-snacks to all-time great baked Alaska energy… it’s a proper old-fashioned cruise experience, with all the charm (and dread) that implies. If you’re curious about Ambassador, or if you’ve heard everything from “hidden gem” to “never again,” this is my honest take — no hype, no drama, no affiliate nonsense. Here, ladies and gentlemen... WE GO!
