Creator's Key Takeaways

It's been an eye opener and it's been a positive experience and and for the price we can't knock it.

We came on this cruise and we did not purchase the drinks package. So, it would have worked out how much each. So, I think the drinks package was £195 for the top drinks package.

The roen josh was good. Full of flavor. You can't good. So good. Service was exceptional. Really pleased with me.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get the drinks package if you plan on having multiple drinks, as it can be cheaper than paying individually.
Book specialty restaurants in advance as they tend to book up quickly.

YouTube Video Description

Join us for the final episode of our Ambassador Ambition Irish Mini Cruise series, where we wrap up our 3‑night sailing, explore Dun Laoghaire, enjoy one last sunset at sea… and answer the big questions: Would we cruise with Ambassador again? And did we make a huge mistake by NOT getting the drinks package? In this episode, we head ashore in beautiful Dun Laoghaire, soaking up the sunshine, strolling through town, and visiting the historic People’s Park before grabbing a cold pint at a local bar. Being a tender port meant plenty of boat action — including a surprise ride on a day‑trip boat that gave us incredible views of Ambition up close. Perfect selfie conditions. Back onboard, we made the most of the sunshine, enjoyed a quiet spa session, and got ready for our final evening. We treated ourselves to a special meal at Saffron, Ambition’s South Asian speciality restaurant, before heading up on deck for one last funnel selfie as the sun set over the Irish Sea. The next morning, we arrived into Belfast, marking the end of our cruise. After disembarking, we met up with friends for tea, cake and a catch‑up at the Titanic Hotel before flying to Southampton to collect the car and head home. This final vlog brings the whole trip together — the sunshine, the tender adventures, the food, the fun… and of course, our honest thoughts on whether we’d sail with Ambassador again. And yes, we finally talk about the drinks package and whether skipping it ended up costing us more. ⛴️ In this episode: Tendering into Dun Laoghaire with stunning ship views Exploring town & People’s Park Supporting local bars (and enjoying a well‑earned pint!)
