Is Ambassador Cruise Line's Ambition ship worth it? — featuring Cruise Mummy (Ambassador Cruise Line)

0:00 today we're taking a tour of Ambassador Cruise Line's new ship ambition I'll show you all the public areas the different cabins and will even take a look behind the scenes cruises on ambition depart from all over the UK so you can board in Dundee Newcastle Belfast Liverpool Bristol London or

0:23 Falmouth these cruises are ideal for those who don't like to fly they're pretty cheap too and I've seen fares as low as 25 pounds per night but do you get what you pay for does Ambassador Cruise Line live up to its promise of providing the best value at sea let's find out ambition is a medium-sized

0:45 cruise ship designed to carry up to 1 200 guests it feels pretty spacious on board and although this ship was built in 1999 after a recent 55 million dollar renovation you'd never know that this was an older ship because everything looks fresh and modern there are 680 cabins on board but only

1:06 125 of these have balconies that means that if you're happy with a window or even an inside cabin you can get a great deal these are often around half the price of balcony rooms the ship does have some luxury suites too but we'll get to the accommodation in a little bit first let's head up to my favorite spot

1:27 on any ship the sun deck up on Deck 12 there's a walking Track that looks down over the Lido deck below there's a small Splash Pool up here as well as a giant chessboard the main outside deck however is one down on the Lido deck which is deck 11. here you'll find the pull bar a stage

1:48 with live music two swimming pools two jacuzzis and another bar at the end called the Consular bar the drinks on Ambassador Cruise Line are the cheapest of any Cruise Line I've seen and you can get a drink package too if you like there's an ice cream cart so you can get free ice creams all day long this is

2:09 something that most other Cruise Lines would make you pay extra for there are lots of lounges and these very comfy clamshell beds there's a covered smoking area here too if you're traveling with kids or teenagers then you'll probably find them in this spot with the table tennis table

2:26 football and dance all of which are free to use right at the front of this deck you have the wellness center it has a gym with all the weights and Equipment you could want I'd say that this is a very large gym for a ship of this size it's free of course and there are lots of classes to choose from too most

2:45 unusually for a cruise ship the spa is also free of charge you could pay for any treatments of course but you can use the sauna steam room these fancy showers and the relaxation areas for free [Music]

3:12 thank you [Music] unlike most cruise ship Spas the treatment prices are pretty reasonable you can get five treatments such as massages hair conditioning treatments or

3:38 facials for just 64 pounds now let's head to the after deck 11 and take a look at what foods available on ambition at the back of the ship is the borough Market which is the buffet here you can enjoy breakfast lunch afternoon tea and dinner you can also help yourself to coffee and Tetley tea throughout the day

5:50 down to deck 7 now and this is where you'll find the cavern if you like to party this is the place to be this big cocktail costs six pounds Which is less than most bars on land and it tastes amazing the cabin has plenty of seats a large dance floor and full entertainment like game shows and Cabaret down one

6:10 deck now and we have the Palladium Theater which spans decks five and six the Ambassador Theater Company has performances on most nights with fantastic music and I love the costumes there's plenty of seating and little tables so you can get a drink from the angel bar which is just outside and
