YouTube Video Description

Join us as at 5PM GMT on the 18th of November where we will discuss our recent cruises on Costa Diadema and Ambassador Ambition! We will answer your cruise and travel related questions live. We recently sailed for the first time on Costa and we our second time on Ambassador Cruise Line but this time on their newest ship 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 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/tomanddomtravel 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, Ambassador Ambience and P&O Azura!
