00:00Whether you're an experienced cruiser, a first-time seafarer, or keen to make a splash,
00:14there's one thing we Brits are all on board with. We love cruising.
00:19British demand for cruises is higher than ever.
00:26I found my sea legs just about. I was born with sea legs.
00:31There's romantic locations.
00:33And this is just beautiful.
00:35Breathtaking views.
00:37Bellissimo!
00:39Exciting activities.
00:41I'm with my friend chilling.
00:43And treats and tipples galore.
00:45This is the life. This is the life.
00:47With surprises.
00:49Are you kidding me? Have I spelt this wrong?
00:51And new adventures around every corner.
00:54It's odds on.
00:56Oh, wow!
00:57We saw the dolphins. It was amazing.
00:59Our fun-loving Brits at sea will love the cruise.
01:10Travelling with us this week on MS Ambience are our two pairs of seafaring sightseers,
01:15who are on day two of their trip.
01:17Cruising newbies and couple of 20 years, James and Damien, live in Essex.
01:24We've had so many good things about cruise ships.
01:27Yes.
01:28The idea's always been open to us, but we've just never had the opportunity to do it yet.
01:32Also easing into life on board are Tamara and Mum Jackie from Croydon.
01:39Oh, this is a good bed.
01:40Right?
01:41Oh.
01:42Oh, I'm liking this.
01:43Cheers once again.
01:44Cha-ching.
01:45These two are more than mother and daughter.
01:47They're best friends, travel buddies and each other's biggest cheerleader.
01:51Welcome to Amsterdam.
01:53And from being more of a land holiday lover, Tamara is definitely getting into the swing
01:58of things at sea after the first day.
02:00Mmm.
02:01I've eased into it now.
02:02I found my sea legs just about.
02:04I was born with sea legs.
02:06Okay.
02:09Yesterday, they immersed themselves fully into Dutch culture, tasting cheese.
02:14I'm like Gouda.
02:15This is some Gouda cheese.
02:18Before figuring out if they were cut out for clog making.
02:23Ooh, actually, you look bad.
02:25Whilst James and Damien took in Amsterdam in an altogether different way.
02:29I think this has got to be the best way to see Amsterdam.
02:31Yeah.
02:32Just relaxing with a glass of champagne.
02:34Before stopping for a taste of the city's favourite sweet treat, Stroopwafel.
02:39It's really nice and gooey.
02:41Oh, it's lovely.
02:42Having left Amsterdam yesterday, the ship will be travelling 1400 miles to the Portuguese
02:50capital city of Lisbon, which means a day at sea.
02:54And as the sun rises, James and Damien have wasted no time in getting into the sea day
02:59spirit.
03:00They're off for their first ever yoga session.
03:03Thank you for coming to our morning yoga.
03:05We're going to have a little bit of a warm up and then we'll start with our stretching.
03:09We'd never done yoga.
03:10So we agreed it was going to be a holiday first.
03:13So we thought to ourselves, let's go and do yoga.
03:17We didn't know what to expect because we've never experienced this before.
03:21So we didn't know what it was going to be like.
03:22We didn't have any of the gear.
03:24So we just changed them to normal.
03:26Shorts and t-shirt.
03:27Shorts and t-shirt.
03:28Yeah.
03:29This is totally different to how I normally start my day.
03:33Normally, I start my day with six o'clock spaniels demanding to get out in the garden for
03:37them to stretch.
03:38Demanding breakfast.
03:39And then I'm doing their breakfast.
03:40I've not got time to do my stretches.
03:44I'm looking forward to this.
03:45This is going to be a nice, gentle stretch.
03:47That's what I'm telling myself.
03:48A nice, gentle stretch.
03:49I feel like I'm doing a proper yoga pose, mum.
04:02Yes, James, I'm sure that's some kind of yoga pose.
04:10Meanwhile, mum Jackie and daughter Tamara are kicking off their sea day with a spot of
04:16breakfast.
04:17Let's see what's for breakfast.
04:20Ooh.
04:21This inseparable pair have never had a taste of cruising before and are looking forward
04:26to discovering what lies in store.
04:28So this is an omelette station again with hash browns.
04:32OK, so we can do an omelette.
04:34Can I have our mushrooms, please?
04:38Mushrooms, please.
04:39Mushroom and cheese?
04:40And cheese.
04:42Can I also do mushroom and cheese, please?
04:44Omelettes are quiet, but for Tamara, there's still some adjusting to do.
04:49So it's the strangest and surrealist feeling eating whilst travelling because you're stationary.
04:56You can't feel that you're moving, but you can see the landscape just slowly drifting by.
05:02So what's the plan for today, ladies?
05:05I feel like maybe I am a person who's like, get me online so I can go and explore.
05:12Well, Jackie, this is the perfect chance to show Tamara that a sea day can also be a fun
05:18day.
05:19So we need to explore, obviously.
05:20Yeah, no, we need to explore.
05:22Whilst the girls decide on what to do with their day on the high seas.
05:27James and Damien are already getting a sweat on in the yoga studio.
05:32Taking a roll of your shoulders and a bend of your knees, waking everything up.
05:37We've got very busy lives with work, very busy lives with our hobby, and we've not been on holiday for a long time.
05:46So it's been nice to have this opportunity to go away, to try and relax, to chill out, and basically just to try and reconnect together.
05:56The boys are clearly reconnecting. Just a shame their coordination skills didn't get the memo.
06:05We've gone the wrong way. The opposite way to everyone else.
06:08I can't see anything. She'll be telling me to do something else in there and I can't see.
06:11Yoga is all about finding your flow, and James and Damien have found an entirely new one.
06:18It's harder than I thought.
06:22What I've noticed was that the people obviously had been before, they knew it, and they knew the poses and they anticipated what to do, didn't they?
06:31The only pose I'd heard of was the downward dog.
06:34From here, we're going to thread the needle, lifting one arm up, hopping it underneath, feeling a stretch in your shoulder blades.
06:42Go on, James. You can do it.
06:44As the boys discover positions they never knew existed, Tamara and Jackie are off to their first activity of the day.
06:55We have checked out the itinerary this morning on the ship, and we are going to do a bit of jewellery making.
07:02They've decided to try a group activity where they can get to know other guests.
07:07Good morning, ladies. Welcome to the jewellery class.
07:10Today we're going to be making a memory wire bracelet. Very simple and easy to do.
07:17And it doesn't take them long to make some new friends.
07:21So have you all cruised before?
07:23No, never.
07:24No, this is our first cruise.
07:25Oh, really?
07:26Yes.
07:27Lucky you.
07:28Yes, it's very nice.
07:29You're enjoying it?
07:30Yes, we are.
07:31Yes, we are.
07:32They're enjoying meeting so many people.
07:33Yeah.
07:34It's really nice.
07:35People are super friendly.
07:36I think being on a cruise ship is one of the easiest places to make friends. Everyone talks to you, everyone engages with you.
07:45The girls love a good chinwag and make mates wherever they go.
07:50Making this morning's bejeweled event a real gem.
07:54This is actually a really quite cute jewellery making class, right?
07:58Yeah.
07:59It's very nice.
08:00In hotels, I make friends wherever I go. Unfortunately.
08:05I think the difference with being on a cruise, it's because we're all on a cruise ship.
08:09Yeah.
08:10There's a lot more opportunity for us to see people that we've engaged in conversations with, had breakfast, lunch or something with.
08:16So we can sit down and that's the bit where we get to know a bit more about each other.
08:29Back with our first time yogis.
08:31And have they got the hang of the downward dog yet?
08:34There's a lot of balance to it and a lot of different poses and stretches.
08:38And I thought, oh my God, we're at sea.
08:40I thought I'm going to be falling over every five minutes.
08:42You're a big ballet dancer.
08:47I think that's meant to be a tree pose, Damien.
08:53And as we breathe out, reaching over to the side.
09:03I've done too much stretch and I've just passed wind down.
09:07A little too relaxed, James.
09:09And it was at the time when everybody had gone quiet in the room.
09:11Oh my God.
09:12So everybody heard.
09:13Everyone looked around.
09:14And everyone was laughing at you.
09:15It was so funny.
09:16I was like, oh my God, only me.
09:20Tooting aside, James, do we have two yoga converts now?
09:24I think it was quite good for the mind and the body.
09:26Oh, it was lovely.
09:27Just to relax and stress and focus on breathing.
09:29It was a really nice way to start the day.
09:32Lovely everyone.
09:33Thank you all for coming.
09:34Have a lovely day.
09:35Because I've got this injury where my hips dislocated, it feels like being in physiotherapy.
09:44It's just, it's good to...
09:45So it's really good for stretching your hips and everything?
09:47Yes, not really good, yeah.
09:48I feel quite refreshed after it.
09:50You clearly felt relaxed.
09:51Yes.
09:53Let's not mention that bit.
09:54But no, it was really nice.
09:55Well done, lads.
09:57Toot toot.
10:14It's day two on board the good ship Ambience.
10:16Today, we're travelling from Amsterdam to Lisbon.
10:19And our two groups of seafarers are making the most of their day at sea.
10:25Afternoon, everyone.
10:26I hope you're enjoying the sunshine on deck today.
10:28A lot going on around the ship this afternoon.
10:31Mum, Jackie and daughter Tamara are already soaking up the sea day mood on board,
10:35putting their jewellery making skills to the test.
10:37This is actually very therapeutic.
10:41I'm actually really enjoying it.
10:43Do you know what?
10:44I might go home and start my own bead business.
10:46No, no, no.
10:47Maybe Lorraine, I'll take your job.
10:48No, no, no.
10:49Do you need any instructions?
10:51Yeah, I've never done this before.
10:52No, this is a very simple one.
10:54It's called memory wire.
10:56Oh.
10:57Okay.
10:58So, let's get the beads out.
11:00It's all partly in the wrist section.
11:04All in the wrist, Lorraine, is it?
11:06Right, ladies, you got this.
11:09I think the whole intention of a sea day is they keep you so busy
11:12you don't have time to remember that you're at sea.
11:16So, I think the plan is working.
11:19So, it needs to go in the middle.
11:21And all we're doing is just pushing it through the pliers
11:24and that makes your little hoop at the end.
11:27A hoop at the end.
11:28Okay.
11:29Yeah.
11:30Do you want to show me on mine as well?
11:32Well, that's one way of mastering it, Tamara.
11:35Meanwhile, on the other side of the ship, James and Damien are in the purple turtle,
11:43where another fun-filled activity is about to start.
11:47We're definitely playing.
11:49We're going to be very competitive together.
11:52Competitive couple, James and partner Damien, fresh from the early morning yoga session,
11:58are about to swing into action with an unusual take on golf.
12:02So, what's this we've found?
12:05Ladder golf.
12:06How does that work?
12:07I'm not sure how to play it, but I don't care because whatever it is,
12:12I'm not competing with anyone else in this bar apart from you.
12:14No.
12:15I'm going to beat you.
12:16No, no, no.
12:17Oof, fighting talk.
12:20It's not the couple's first rodeo when it comes to competing against each other.
12:24We could be watching a quiz show and he will try and get all the questions right
12:28and I'm secretly trying to beat him.
12:30I don't even know you're doing that.
12:31I don't even know you're doing that.
12:32You just suddenly get into competitiveness.
12:34Even in our general lives, even our hobby, our dog show, and that can be really competitive.
12:40Like, you wouldn't believe how competitive it can be.
12:43Okay.
12:44Good morning, folks.
12:45Welcome to ladder golf.
12:48Hopefully, entertainer Rahman can shed some light on what exactly ladder golf involves.
12:53Now, this game is very simple.
12:55We are trying to throw these balls and strings onto these bits of wood.
12:59So, the idea is when you throw the balls to get it round one of the rungs of the ladder.
13:06So, if you get it on the top one, it was less points because it was higher up and easier to do.
13:13Well, with the gameplay cleared up, how about some practice?
13:21Oh, nearly.
13:22General, what's your tactics?
13:24I'm not going to tell you my tactics.
13:25You need to tell me your tactics.
13:26Because you're not taking my tactics.
13:28Are you going to grip the balls firm?
13:31I'm not...
13:32Or are you going to grip the balls soft?
13:33I'm not going to tell you how to do it.
13:34Because...
13:35You will use my tactics to your advantage.
13:38I don't trust you.
13:39Play nicely, boys.
13:43With James on the red team and Damien on the blue, it's game on.
13:47Okay, up next we have Linda versus Damien.
13:51Oh, it's yours.
13:52Good luck.
13:53Oh, well done.
13:54I've never done this before.
13:56I promise.
13:57Oh, ten points.
13:58Great start, Damien.
13:59I'm not very good at sports.
14:00I'm not very good at sports.
14:01I'll try and get the red one now.
14:02Oh.
14:03Nearly.
14:04Maybe not.
14:05Oh.
14:06At least I've got one on.
14:07That's one more than you're going to get.
14:08I'm going to get all three, don't you worry.
14:09Time to put your money where your mouth is, James.
14:10You're up next and it looks like Damien has every confidence in you.
14:15Oh.
14:16After a faltering start...
14:19Oh.
14:20Oh.
14:21Oh.
14:22Oh.
14:23Oh.

14:40Yes.
14:41Oh.
14:42James scores 20 points.
14:44Much to Damien's delight.
14:46Not on yellow, not on yellow.
14:48Come on, James.
14:50Yes!
14:51Oh.
14:52Result.
14:53That's another 30 points to James.
14:57Well done.
14:59Very nice.

17:08always been like this we've always had that competitive nature
17:13it's the last round and the pressure's on damien in the blue team to beat james in the red team
17:22and damien resorts to let's say gamesmanship
17:31oh i shouldn't have done that with the games over let's find out the scores on the doors
17:44there's only 10 points in it oh my god please got to one come on on 400 points

18:39let's leave those two to fight it out i hear it's the cha-cha the cha-cha with the samba
18:53fresh from a glittering jewelry making morning that got a tad competitive jackie and tamara are swapping
18:59tension for toe tapping they're off to a dance class very difficult because you have to miss the first beat
19:06yeah then you count the cha-cha-cha um well i should say no more hi everyone and welcome to the
19:16latin class today we're going to be doing the cha-cha-cha
19:22with the help of her glamorous assistant dave lindsay from the entertainment team will be teaching
19:27this vibrant latin american dance that originated in cuba in the 1950s we always have watched dance
19:34shows on tv and we've said yeah we were gonna try our hand up seeing if we could emulate the
19:42professionals the first thing we're going to do is the steps of the cha-cha-cha and we're going to go
19:47left right cha-cha-cha left right okay got it and then we go right left cha-cha-cha hold on
19:58right left oh uh you've lost me already right left and a cha-cha-cha and you just keep that going
20:06with the cha-cha-cha there's three basic steps which is like you miss the first beat cha-cha-cha shuffle
20:13to the right or left three times we're going to put some music on so you can just start to feel that
20:17cha-cha-cha rhythm this is so confusing keep going girls i think when lindsay thought we everyone in
20:36the class have gotten the hang of it she decided to step it up a level so what we're going to do now
20:41is we're going to face our partner so very good now we're going to try the new yorker one step two

22:32oh jackie that's perfect for james and damien it's been a day of yoga serenity it's hard on our
22:39thought and ladder golf rivalry oh yes jackie and daughter tamara have swapped glittery gems for
22:49latin grooves and do the cha-cha-cha this way but so far things are less rhythm and rumba and more
22:55bumper and blunder cha-cha-cha-cha honey she's the problem it's not me luckily lindsay's on hand

34:42three you know it's a blind search oh i've got that and ladder golf yes

34:54this is actually a really quite cute jewelry making class right yeah it's very nice one step two
35:01and easing into the rhythm of things or perhaps the cha-cha-cha of things you i don't think you're
35:06good at this you're the problem and now an evening at sea beckons
35:12after an afternoon spent on their feet jackie and daughter tamara have chosen to unwind in style
35:24in the ship's spa a bit of luxury and pampering was definitely required going to the spa was a
35:29wonderful way to end our day hi uh we've come for a spa treatment they gave us a few minutes to
35:36decompress yes the more expensive the harder it is to open i just want to let you know that okay
35:45it was a very luxurious experience
35:49a toast to you thank you no worries cheers oh cheers toasts complete ladies your treatment rooms are ready
36:01with all that shuffling and cha-cha charring it's an easy choice for mum jackie when it comes to picking
36:06a treatment mum had a pedicure done yes i did that feels nice thank you very much i think i needed
36:14the pedicure and it was nice and she was very good at kind of massaging and taking away a lot of the
36:20tension from my feet oh sounds lovely she was able to have a really lovely foot massage
36:36meanwhile james and damien have a special evening of their own lined up in the ship's palladium
36:42theater one board we saw a few posters didn't we for claire sweeney we were really looking forward
36:47to that night you are a fan of the seats i do i do like coronation street so i've seen her in coronation
36:52street i didn't watch her in brookside i was a bit too young for that i did i did because i'm a bit older
36:56than you these are good seats actually you can see everything on the stage and it's clear james and
37:06damien aren't the only ones keen to get seated for tonight's big show you need to get here early because
37:11they get on the chairs love it look at them they're all here already grabbing their seats they've all put
37:15little bags down to save spaces we were on the balcony and it doesn't feel like being on a cruise ship in
37:23the slightest does it it just feels like you're at a west end production claire sweeney i'm so
37:27looking forward to this she's very good at the musicals so i wonder if she'll be singing tonight
37:30but you know what did she she's done a lot of work on the cruise ships doesn't she yes yes i bet
37:35i bet she can give her some tips if we bump into her in the bar later on yes we'll need to try and
37:40track her down and ask her what see what her top tips are for for first time cruisers the packed
37:46audience is full of glitz and glamour and the boys can't resist a bit of people watching
37:51somebody's got a very sparkly dressing people they all get dressed up don't they and it's so
37:56lovely you forget you're on a ship these people they're dressed immaculate and i even felt a bit
38:01underdressed i was in a nice shirt and jumper and i thought to myself these people are really
38:05making an effort it's a full house as cruise director adam takes to the stage lovely to see you
38:13back in the palladium haven't we got a treat for you tonight so please go wild and crazy for the
38:19fantastic claire sweeney
38:37when love's gone
38:43is
38:48elsewhere on the shed things are slightly more tranquil in the spa
39:08and with Jackie feeling suitably relaxed it's Tamara's turn I had a hot stone massage it was
39:15well needed and I was able to get the knots out of my shoulders I've never had a hot stone massage
39:21before my masseuse she has great pressure she has great hands you know it was definitely hot the
39:32stones but it's so relaxing like the stones I don't mind heat so the stones are like really nice
39:40after a non-stop day it looks like the masseuse all-in approach is just the fix for tomorrow
39:47she definitely got the knots out I feel like I was ironed out it's like being in the nail shop
39:53when they have the massage chairs but like way nicer it was well needed was that a pun tomorrow
39:59I could see myself falling asleep but this is the perfect end to a really lovely day
40:15meanwhile over at the Palladium Claire ends her one-woman show to a rapturous applause

41:27inside knowledge knowledge so what's your what's your tips and tips on what I love about this ship

41:40on cruises when I was 19 for about five years and I got seasick every cruise every single cruise
41:47and you know what was my cure glass of port a glass of port and lay on your back apparently if you lay
41:56on your back it balances all the fluids out in your body and stops you being nauseous well and then we
