J & R Escapes Not Just Travel

05/06/2026

Today we are in Liverpool stepping onboard Ambition – kindly hosted by Ambassador Cruise Line.

We love ship visits like this. You can read a thousand reviews, but nothing beats seeing it in real life. We arr here to look at the cabins properly, check out the dining, walk the decks, and get a feel for the vibe so I can match the right cruise to the right person.

If you’ve been thinking, “Maybe we should try a cruise… but I don’t know where to start,” this is exactly why you use a Personal Travel Consultant. Others: 38 websites. Us: one chat, and it’s handled.

Want me to send you my honest highlights (and who Ambition is best for)?
Message us “AMBITION” and tell us when you’d like to travel.

Because booking your break should feel like taking one.
Your next escape awaits.

❤️If you've ever thought "cruising isn't for me" — swipe through before you decide.💙

We hear these every week. And then the same people sail with Ambassador and wonder why they waited so long.

First cruise? Give us a call — we'll talk you through it properly.

❤️To package, or not to package. That is the question. I here this alot x 💙

Some guests book the drinks package before they've even chosen their cabin. It's sorted, it's paid for and it's one less thing to think about on holiday. Bliss.

Others? They'd rather order what they want, when they want it. A gin and tonic here, a glass of Malbec there. Why pay for drinks you'll never touch?

Both camps are right. Which one are you?

🚢Cabins to write home about... or not write at all?🏠

There are two types of guests on board.

Those who say "it's just a cabin, I'm barely in it" and those who say morning coffee on a balcony with the sea stretching out in front of them is absolutely non-negotiable.

Both are completely right.

Inside cabin = more in your pocket for the things that actually matter. Destination experiences, a round at the bar, an extra night away.

Balcony = waking up to open water before the rest of the ship is even stirring. That view doesn't get old.

So which camp are you in? Inside or balcony? Drop your answer below.

👇 Team Balcony or Team Inside? Let the debate begin.

❤️Did you know Ambassador do ADULT ONLY SAILINGS💙

Raise your hand if you've ever had a holiday ruined by someone else's children. 🙋 No judgement. We've all been there.

Ambassador sailings are adult only. Not just a quiet lounge. Not a "adults preferred" deck. The entire ship.

You've earned the peace and quiet. Come and find it.
