Creator's Key Takeaways

Everybody is just so friendly. We got a full day on board now. How exciting.

One thing we did find strange about Ambassador's drinks package is that across all three, water is only available by the glass, not by the bottle.

Service here is absolutely brilliant.

Overall, we had an absolutely amazing cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Carry your passport and cruise card when going ashore.
Book shore excursions in advance to save 10% and guarantee ship return.
Use a credit card for onboard spending to avoid temporary holds on debit cards.
Keep your original luggage tags for disembarkation as new ones are not provided.

YouTube Video Description

It’s our first full day onboard Ambassador Ambition, but Amy makes a mistake that nearly ends up ruining part of our cruise… So if you’re sailing with Ambassador Cruise Line, this is definitely something you’ll want to avoid (Vlog 2). As part of our themed “Back to the 70s Cruise” onboard the Ambassador Ambition cruise ship, we spend the day making the most of everything this smaller Ambassador Cruise Line Ambition sailing has to offer. But with this only being a short two-night cruise, it isn’t long before the dreaded disembarkation information arrives and reality starts creeping back in. In this vlog, we share more of what life is like onboard Ambassador Cruises Ambition, including the atmosphere around the ship, entertainment, food and what it’s really like sailing on a smaller Ambassador cruise ship compared to the larger ships we usually cruise on. We also talk you through the Ambassador Ambition disembarkation process, what to expect at the end of your cruise, and our arrival into Portsmouth International Port in the UK. If you’re researching an Ambassador Ambition review, planning a cruise with Ambassador Cruise Line, or curious about what a themed mini cruise onboard Ambassador Ambition is actually like, this video gives you an honest look at the experience - including the mistakes you’ll definitely want to avoid!
