  • Welcome to the 1st vlog in my new cruise series where I spent 2 night onboard Ambassador Cruise Line’s Ambition!
    This vlog is not an ad, or sponsored, and I was not invited. I paid for this cruise myself and all my opinions are genuine and honest, as I believe people should see how things really are 😊
    In this vlog you'll see everything you need to know about embarkation day on an Ambassador Cruise, EVERYTHING in the lunch & afternoon buffet, snippets of the ship & all the fun evening activities!
    I was really surprised by this cruise line and ship, so come along with me to find out how I got on!
    I'd love to hear your comments or questions below so feel free to use that as a little chat space!
    This vlog is to show you what it's like on an Ambassador cruise, but I thought it might also be helpful for first time cruisers.
    I have plenty of other vlogs coming out on Ambassador which include food, activities, a ship tour, cabin tour, a day at sea and disembarkation day, so don't forget to hit the subscribe button and please give the video a thumbs up!
    Thank you for watching, enjoy!
    Love Lucy x

    I was on this mini/taster cruise, and can only echo how excellent it was all round. The crew and entertainment’s team were brilliant. What a great vlog, and it was just like being back on board and living it all again! Looking forward to the next instalment Lucy!

    Cant beat a small ship cruise. I have done 5 cruises with Azamara and love it because it is small. I have done Virgin Voyages Resilliant Lady in September, and although a gorgeous ship, it's just too big for me.
    Your vlog was so interesting as I have recently been looking at Ambassador Cruises for a cruise next summer. Thank you for a very interesting insight!

    • @Travellifewithlucy
      @Travellifewithlucy  Před 8 měsíci

      Thank you for watching! Yes, I think I do prefer a smaller ship too!
      I would 100% recommend Ambassador 😊

    Thanks for the great vlog Lucy. We’ve sailed on Ambience twice and loved the Ambassador experience on her. Unfortunately we’re booked up for 2024 holidays but we’ll be sailing on Ambition to Spain and Portugal in 2025 - really looking forward to it after seeing your video

    • @Travellifewithlucy

    Thank you for your assessment of Ambition. My wife and I are sailing on her from Dundee for a 12-night cruise at the end of August. This will be our first cruise - hopefully not our only. Thanks also for focusing on the food available; I’m coeliac so it was reassuring to see a good spread of gluten free food. Do you have to book to see the shows in the theatre? Kind regards.

    This is the first time I am watching one of your videos. To the buffett, very good. Love to eat. Like vegetarian and vegan food. Do like some meat. Pasta is very good. Some fish is better than others. The bread station looks good. Like desserts also. Is there good scenery in Tilbury? Seems very windy there. Prefer indoors on a ship most times. Like afternoon tea. And I'm not British. When you drink wine you should hold your wine glass by the stem. That way you do not warm your wine. Table tennis, love to play. No cruise line has a midnight buffett anymore. Only on certain cruises, usually longer cruises. Ambassador Cruises doesn't have a casino. I like pizza. Vegetable Spring Roll looks good. The Tofu and Vegetable Chow Main looks good also. Several desserts look good. Didn't know the Purple Turtle was a Wine Bar. Not a big fan of canapes. After the show I would normally go to the casino. Have you been on many cruises? Which cruise lines are your favorites? New subscriber.

      @Travellifewithlucy  Před měsícem

      Thanks for your comment! Tilbury isn’t very scenic but there is a Fort nearby ☺️
      Thank you for the tip about the wine glass!
      I think my favourite line so far is Celebrity, Ambassador coming a very close second!

    We have thought about Ambassador in the past. Nice for a taster cruise I think, but we do like our entertainment. 👍👋

      We did 11 nights on the other Ambassador ship (Ambience) earlier in 2023 and the entertainment was amazing! More production shows than we’ve seen with anyone else, live music in all the bars and a group of actors on boards that were doing full plays and shorter vignettes/sketches on sea days. Definitely a plus on Ambassador for us.
