Advantages: Lets us go places we couldn't normally
Disadvantages: See review

...and go into the cabin ahead of me. To get the chair into the cabin I had to fold it up. Once inside I decided that it would be best to fold it up as small as possible. One of the nice features of this chair is that the wheels can be easily removed. Once I had taken the wheels and foot plates off and folded the back down it was a simple case of stowing the chair next to the bed with the wheels stored near the TV out of the way. As time went by we found it was easier to simply fold the chair up and store it next to the bed but this was simply because this chair is very light and easy to move. Lifts: ------ Getting about the ship is fairly easy. There are five lifts that we found; two main ones near the “front” of the ship which gives access to all decks from 3 to 10, two in the “middle” which again give access to decks 3 to 10 (These...

Disadvantages: Poor ship layout, poor customer service.

...Traveled transatlantic on the maiden voyage of the Pearl from Southampton to Miami. When I first entered my cabin, I found the toilet was blocked with feces and backed up into the bathroom. It took a few hours to get the plumber, who could not repair it, and 2 days before they finally decided to move me only after complaining about not being able to use the facility about 20 times. Having to use the public facilities was very inconvenient to say the least. The Captain sailed us right through the middle of a hurricane. The external doors were not only locked, but lashed shut with ropes from the inside. The ship took damage losing its promenade lights and several plate glass railings. The crew strapped deck chairs to fill the gaps where the glass once was. Not very safe for young children with just a deck chair between the deck... Read review

Advantages: looks stylish
Disadvantages: none

...I bought a panasonic skaa17 a few months back and it is an excellent choice, the first thing that attracted me to it was all the flashing lights on the front, sort of a little display that looks like a space invaders game!!, but the rest of it is excellent too, you can choose from various presets to enhance the sound of your music, such as rock, hall, flat, heavy!! It also takes a generous 5 cd's, which of course you can preset, random play etc etc.The unit also has a twin tape deck with one touch record.Plus of course a clock and timer facility as well as the usual radio channels.It comes with a remote control so you dont need to leave your chair!! Overall it looks stylish and performs brilliantly, buy it!... Read review

Advantages: Great VIP lounge.
Disadvantages: None to mention

...lingered for a few moments but after realizing that if I even attempted to play the lad who was stationed on the PS2 playing Fifa soccer, I was destined to get well and truly stuffed! We took the stairs up a level. The Upper deck seemed more grown up than downstairs; it had a more stylistic feel to it. The chairs were ergonomically designed to make me feel like a regular jet setter, I'm sure! On this level one finds the Sports Bar again with another self service bar with all the trimmings, plenty of large plasma screens and again the mandatory daily papers*- 3. The difference between this bar and the one below was the space, this bar had space in abundance, where as below you seemed to share the space with children's games and café style tables. Up here you are encouraged to recline in leather seats and de-stress. Next door to the sports bar... Read review

Advantages: Great Shows * Good service * Food good and plentiful *
Disadvantages: Shore excursions could be expensive.

..., and cabins had to be vacated at 9.00 am the following morning. Hand luggage could be left in the card room where someone was on duty to look after it. We paid £30.00 for a day cabin on deck 4. The cabin was almost identical to ours only a bit narrower with a chair instead of the poufee. The towels seemed thinner too. We took the opportunity to look around a number of the other cabins on deck 4, they were all very pleasant. The deluxe cabins on deck 6 to 9 didn’t look a great deal different although some had double beds. they all had a bath as well as shower. Getting around The ship has 7 passenger lifts, a bank of 4 lifts amidships, two lifts aft and a single lift forward. We arrived too late to take the ship’s tour, but everything was very well signed, and, for the most part, we had no trouble finding our way around. One oddity... Read review

Advantages: Excellent services, lovely food & good cabins
Disadvantages: Oldish ship & not good for disable passengers

...afraid the Ocean majesty is no good for disable people, as the ship is just not designed for this. There is a step into every room for some reason (it took me ages to stop tripping over) & the corridors are just not wide enough to accommodate a wheel chair. The doorways to the cabins are also very narrow. Young people & children would not be pleased to be aboard this ship either as there is not much for them to be kept occupied & they would probably be very bored on a holiday longer than a week. Prices To travel on the Ocean Majesty won't set you back an arm & a leg but prices do vary a lot, brochure price is usally no more than £2000pp for Sapphire deck cabins depending obviously on where you are travelling to & the cheapest usually come out at around £749pp to £999pp, but Page & Moy do very good discounted rates about a week before you go...

Advantages: The best deck ever
Disadvantages: none

...Many people find different decks easier to certain decks. The chris young signature deck is one that many people will preffer. It has a medium concave making it easy to pull of flicks and still pop an easy ollie. The width and length are around the same as a kasper deck. it is made of seven ply and is lighter than the average board. If your looking for a new fairly cheap board then this is the one for you. The deck is blank so you can cover it in what you want. This deck should be available at neophreaks.co.uk soon.... Read review

Advantages: Great fun, day for all the family
Disadvantages: Restaurant cost, not for those with Vertigo

...). After the history part, there was some more… we moved onto the virtual caves which were very cold, they either had the air conditioning way too low or they were trying to make it seem life like. There were aboriginal sketches on the walls and a spiel from the tour guide as we walked through here and we ended up at the expedition ride. If you've even been in a simulator where it you sit down and watch a short film while the cabin moves, it's exactly what this experience feels like. We entered a large room full of what looks like rollercoaster chairs in pairs, set up in front of a large cinema screen. I sat with a German girl and waited for the film to begin and as it did, sound came from our chairs and our chairs moved to match the video. After this was finished, we were free to go back to the observation deck and gift shop and leave... Read review

Advantages: Cheap and high quality
Disadvantages: Speakers arent very durable at high volumes

...want. As well at a Treble to Bass balance to tweak that. The wake function, so it doubles as my alarm clock. The sleep function so once I am stirring it will switch itself off to let me get some more sleep. WHAT DONT I LIKE When I first got it I had a lot of trouble with the volume of the unit, as it seemed to be getting progressively quieter. I took it to the shop, they fixed it. But it was hassle. The Qsound button. It makes it seem as though its this great function for making your music sound so much better, but it makes it sound crop. The tape deck, my chair bumps into it and it always opens. (OK minor issue) CONCLUSION A good little unit. Whats bad for you is that its no longer widely available, so keeping an eye on eBay would be a good idea. I picked my up from Dixons for £100.... Read review

Advantages: Boarding at Southampton, no restrictions on luggage and staying in a 5 star hotel
Disadvantages: None

...This 7 night cruise to Spain, Portugal and France was our second cruise and the difference from our first one was remarkable, boarding was so easy just drop off your luggage onto a conveyor belt and check in and in 10 minutes from leaving the car we were on board in the restaurant. Everything about the Arcadia spoke of elegance and luxury and the staff could not do enough for you. The food was excellent and the entertainment exceptional. We enjoyed just walking around the promanade deck watching the world go by and sitting relaxing in a chair and reading, or at other times swimming or using the gym or taking part in some on the onboard activities - always something to do whether it was relaxing or being active. The days in port were great fun either exploring on our own or taking one of the excursions which were all good value... Read review
