Ambassador Ambience vs MSC Virtuosa — which would you choose: a smaller traditional cruise ship or a huge modern megaship? After sailing on both, we compare the crowds, food, pools, entertainment, technology, walking distances and what they're actually like to holiday on. And ..... We really enjoyed BOTH of them. Ambassador Ambience and MSC Virtuosa offer two completely different ways to cruise. Ambience carries around 1,400 guests in 789 cabins and is 245 metres long, while MSC Virtuosa can carry 6,334 guests in 2,421 cabins and measures 331 metres. So this isn't simply one ship being a little bigger than the other — they provide two very different cruise experiences. In this video we compare: * Ship size and passenger numbers * How easy they are to get around * Walking distances and lifts * Pools and outside deck space * Food and buffet experience * Restaurants and choice * Entertainment and things to do * Crowds and busy areas * Finding somewhere quiet to sit * Traditional cruising versus the modern megaship experience Chapters 00:00 Traditional Cruise Ship vs Modern Megaship 01:04 Ambience vs Virtuosa – The Size Difference 02:22 Getting Around & The Lifts 03:19 Pools, Deck Space & Outdoor Activities 04:14 Food – More Choice or Better Experience? 05:41 Entertainment & Things To Do 06:22 Crowds, Atmosphere & Finding a Seat 07:10 What about the actual ships? 08:03 Have cruise got better with size? MSC Virtuosa gives you an enormous amount to do, with pools, waterslides, virtual reality, bowling, restaurants, bars, entertainment and modern technology. Ambience offers far less in terms of big attractions, but we found her easy to get around, friendly, relaxed and very enjoyable in a completely different way. So has cruising actually become better as ships have got bigger — or have we simply ended up with more choice? 🚢 Which would YOU choose? Let us know in the comments.
