Thanks for the mention! Swapping a tender for a hot tub looked like a good plan...until you got out! 😂 At least you will hopefully get back there on your next cruise. Thanks for showing us around Ambition. It brought back some recent memories. Glad you found it better than expected. The meal in Saffron looked lovely. Happy travels!
I'm booked on this ship in Feb-Mar 2026 in the Med for 31 days. Its a proper cruise ship at very reasonable prices. The refit is very nicely done & hopefully Ambience will do the same. These huge ships are vile. I know some things wont be perfect but I intend to enjoy.
Loving the videos hope to meet you guys on a cruise one day. We’re on Arvia over Christmas and then a Celebrity cruise in 2026 to Thailand and Vietnam 😊
@@flydriveexplore I really like Celebrity but have only done the older ship the eclipse but it really was lovely, we’re going on the silhouette in2026. Hope you have a lovely time and I look forward to watching the vlog when it’s out
The main thing that has put us off booking another cruise with them is that we don't like the fixed time and fixed table dining. Food quality was good though.
Very nice Indian restaurant !! The dishes looked very good & noticed lots of " vegan options" available ! 😀 I am not vegan,once I was for 17 years ! I am vegetarian now ( for 16 years ) ,loved the name " Saffron "! 👍🍽🍨
Hi guys. Good overview of the ship 🚢 only thing that would put us off is the shared dining tables. I thought I saw on your map it was going to Liverpool was that not the case?
Proper cruise ships have always done shared tables, you are on a ship & you can't escape each other, so you meet & hopefully get along. If everyone had their own table you'd need a very very big ship. Size limits things. I'm on this ship on 2026 for 31 days & a solo guest.
Hi Marcus awesome live video I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin. We have a heatwave in Ontario Canada. How is the weather where you are? Have a great day see you next video 😊
Sorry that you did not get to Dun Leary I think they do Cruises from Avonmouth to Dun More East which would be well worth checking out. You can get to Visit Waterford and Wexford on that cruise.
Was the ship at full capacity or are they short staffed? I had the breakfast served from the kitchen when I was onboard and wondered what the reasoning was, why they did a buffet for you.
It's had plenty good reviews & it's how it is on your taste buds. There's specialty restaurants at a extra cost. I booked on the Med & Caribbean cruises & for me the aim is seeing other parts of the world at 31days & 42 days respectively. One meal a day will suffice for me.
Proper cruising you will have to share a table due to the size of a ship & you are part of the crew in reality & under Capt orders. The big tower block ships are more a hotel & casinos with a few stops.
Tks Having been on the same cruise agree with you. will def try them again ( when the price is right) but not from Tilbury, too far but any northern port will be good. Saffron looked very good.How much was the surcharge?
I live near Dundee & have booked the Med & Caribbean cruises & sail from Tilbury. I will travel down a day before in case of any problems. Dundee only does northern trips.

Thanks for watching and glad we watched your videos beforehand. We had a good time and would book again but maybe avoid tender ports.

We enjoyed our short trip on Ambassador.

Hi, we're on Celebrity Apex at the end of October. Our first trip with them.

@@kirstyoates7689 Hope your trips go well too.
Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
Thank you.
I’ve started looking at Ambassador as all the reviews I’ve seen are very favourable except for one. Thank you.
You'll always get bad reviews on anything. Some people just like to moan.
We were surprised by the trip, especially the entertainment.
@@flydriveexploreit definitely looks great

Lovely ship, deff got me looking at them now. Enjoy Carnival
We would book with them again. Thanks.

It was a very good Indian restaurant.

We docked in Liverpool but we came straight back home, we didn't have time to look around.

We've been up in Iceland so it's been cold and wet!

We're on the way to Ireland as we speak, we're onboard Carnival Legend.
Not a chance in hell of getting me on one of those tenders 🤢🤢🤮🤮
They are not the most stable.
We are FAMOUS at 15:37 ❤

The ship was full (we think).
Hot tub tip - get a robe from the spa. 😂
👍
Not keen on the sharing a table so much.
The food didn’t look that great either.

Hi, yes Tilbury is a bit far for us too. It was £19 per person at Saffron.
@@flydriveexplore Thanks
