The Ambition Dry Dock: HUGE UK Refit for a Ship With 4 Names
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
This has been flagged as a great win for the UKbased shipyard, which want the tender to complete the refurbishment work on Ambition in a competitive tendering process
But I think one of the most exciting and kind of unusual things that's going to be done with this ship is that they're actually transforming one of their small spa treatment rooms into a fully equipped renal diialysis center
So this is quite unusual and certainly something that you don't see on most cruise ships
This not only allowed them to shorten the period of time that the ship was out of service but it also saves fuel not having to take the ship to a shipyard further a reveal
