Thank you guys for not being pretentious and stuffy with your comentary. I respect your reviews. Your reviews are very valued by me ans thousands of others.
Great to see inside Tilbury - I’ve actually never cruised from there and actually have no idea where it is. It certainly looks completely different to the more modern versions down at Southampton - funny it’s still such a quiet terminal…! Great video as always, gents!
Hi Tom and Dom. I remembered seeing this blog previously and dug it out to refresh my memory. Why? Because my daughter, Michaela, and I are booked into Ibis this Sunday and planning to have breakfast in IKEA!!! We were booked on Ambience for 5 night Xmas markets cruise but she is stuck in dry Dock so have been changed to Ambition for 4 nights on Monday. Decided to go down on Sunday anyway. We are not disappointed cos I wanted to try Ambition and the changed itinerary now includes Antwerp - my favourite port! And they have compensated us very satisfactorily. Thanks for this blog which put my mind at rest over the hotel. Cheers 😊
Thank you so much for getting in touch. We can understand it’s difficult when plans change at the last minute but we are so glad you plan to make the most of it. Please let us know how you get on. Have a fabulous time on Ambition. She is a lovely ship. We recently did a video about it if you want a preview 😀
Lovely video, thank you. I love Ambience, and you appreciated all the same things I did - plays, the observatory, Centre Court, and Tilbury Cruise Terminal. I will watch the rest of your videos with interest.
A Dolphin class ship originally the Regal Princess sailed for a number of years with P&O Aus designed by Renzio Piano and considered a large ship when she was launched.
Love this channel. They explain everything in detail and like that they give you a day by day breakdown. Just binge watched their Arvia vlog series before coming here. I'm going on her later this Summer ❤
Great concise commentary on the embarkation and description of the room. We've made our minds up to go on the Ambience.. Only one question, was there much noise from the engines, or entertainment areas heard in your room.?
Thanks so much for these videos, I’ve just binge watched all the Ambience videos! We’re on the Ambience at the end of July so very interested (and excited) to hear all you have to say. We used to cruise with cruise and maritime so very interested to see if Ambassador is very different . Love sailing from Tilbury😊
We just spent 17 nights on Ambience and enjoyed every second of it. Its a lovely old ship and the staff are all so polite and friendly. The food was superb weather in the Borough market or the main restaurant and the palladium shows are superb. Hope you enjoy your cruise as much as we did,
Hi Jill. Thanks for watching. The hot drinks in Dickens are chargeable at a reasonable price. Tea and coffee are available in the buffet included in the cruise fare although not the same quality.
Still a very difficult question. We do like Princess but are trying an older/smaller princess ship in a few weeks. That will give us a good understanding of the brand as a whole
Thanks for watching. You are assigned a table for dinner and we were lucky enough to have a table for 2. For lunch and breakfast it’s open seating and we often found we were sharing a table with other
Thanks for your question! The specialty restaurants, Sea and Grass, Saffron and Captains Table are not included and incur an additional charge! We found them to be very reasonably priced 😀
Thanks for your comment and thank you! 😀 Ambassador was one of the last cruise lines to stop checking COVID vaccinations. They are removing the requirement from Thursday 22nd of June!
Having read the poor reviews of Ambience on Cruise Critic, your reaction is interesting. How did you find the food generally as that’s the thing people on Cruise Critic complained about a lot (bland, uninteresting, all the same etc).
@@TomandDomTravelusually on critic site you find it mostly people who will cpmplain fpr the fake of complainimg but I also went pn cruise critic snd their were also loafs sayimg how really good the ship was for the price as well
The crew are all very friendly, but for first time cruisers, you'll probably notice that the only British staff on there are the entertainment crew. Pretty much everyone else is from the Philipines which is fine, and they are lovely people, but it's sad that the only reason that the staff are from these far flung corners of the world, is that they're willing to work for peanuts. I know it's a business and that they all do it, but still...

Thank you. We hadn’t a clue where it was either. Tilbury has been in the news a lot this week and has lots of history associated with it
Excellent video 👍
Thank you so much

Thank you so much for watching. Keep a look out for our Ambition videos coming soon
Very nice and informative video. ….. The purple colour everywhere is a tad overwhelming.
Thank you, once on the ship you don’t really notice it 😊
Great review and pleasantly surprised by it as well. What a great tip by the way for an IKEA breakfast. Must keep that one on the back burner.
Thank you. IKEA tip works both in Tilbury and Southampton except on a Sunday
Fantastic review ❤
Thank you 😊
A Dolphin class ship originally the Regal Princess sailed for a number of years with P&O Aus designed by Renzio Piano and considered a large ship when she was launched.
Great to see the ship still in good shape even after so many changes
Love this channel. They explain everything in detail and like that they give you a day by day breakdown. Just binge watched their Arvia vlog series before coming here. I'm going on her later this Summer ❤
Thank you so much for the super positive comment. We really appreciate your support 😊
Great concise commentary on the embarkation and description of the room. We've made our minds up to go on the Ambience.. Only one question, was there much noise from the engines, or entertainment areas heard in your room.?
Noise was minimal. Like most ship they was some noise when docking but other than that all very good

Thank you so much for watching. Tilbury is a great port! Much easier than the crowds in Southampton. Lots more vlogs still to come 😀
We just spent 17 nights on Ambience and enjoyed every second of it. Its a lovely old ship and the staff are all so polite and friendly. The food was superb weather in the Borough market or the main restaurant and the palladium shows are superb. Hope you enjoy your cruise as much as we did,
@@seandodds7138 thanks for that, I’m getting quite excited now😃
Hi both, thanks for your comprehensive video. Do you pay for tea, coffee or hot chocolate in the Dickens bar? If so, is it reasonable. Thanks Jill
Hi Jill. Thanks for watching. The hot drinks in Dickens are chargeable at a reasonable price. Tea and coffee are available in the buffet included in the cruise fare although not the same quality.
Really great video again. Do you have a favorite cruise line now you have tried a number of different ones?
Still a very difficult question. We do like Princess but are trying an older/smaller princess ship in a few weeks. That will give us a good understanding of the brand as a whole
Looks fab. Did you have to share tables for dinner or were you able to get a table for two for each meal time?
Thanks for watching. You are assigned a table for dinner and we were lucky enough to have a table for 2. For lunch and breakfast it’s open seating and we often found we were sharing a table with other
Are the specialist restaurants extra cost or included? Great video
Thanks for your question! The specialty restaurants, Sea and Grass, Saffron and Captains Table are not included and incur an additional charge! We found them to be very reasonably priced 😀
Another good vlog, just wondering why you had to have covid passes for this cruise as majority of other cruise lines this is now not required
Thanks for your comment and thank you! 😀 Ambassador was one of the last cruise lines to stop checking COVID vaccinations. They are removing the requirement from Thursday 22nd of June!
Having read the poor reviews of Ambience on Cruise Critic, your reaction is interesting. How did you find the food generally as that’s the thing people on Cruise Critic complained about a lot (bland, uninteresting, all the same etc).
We did not have that experience at all. We found the food varied and generally of a high standard both in the MDR and the buffet.
@@TomandDomTravelusually on critic site you find it mostly people who will cpmplain fpr the fake of complainimg but I also went pn cruise critic snd their were also loafs sayimg how really good the ship was for the price as well
Really like your vlogs, very informative, but I often struggle to hear you even with the volume on my phone at max.
Thank you! We have now got some external mics and hopefully that will make a difference to future VLOGs!
@@TomandDomTravel 👍😀
Tom is GORGEOUS!!
☺️
Awww, bit harsh on Dom!
@kyorin6526 thanks for being team Dom

Thanks for watching and for commenting. Yes most of the crew excluding the ents team are multinational
Guessing you were amongst the youngest on the ship....the demographic looks to be towards the more 'mature' end!?
Hi thanks for your comment! 😀 The main demographic was over 50 on this cruise!
