Advantages: Equipment levels and price Disadvantages: Fuel consumption, tacky interior
Bought a 52 plate, 2.5 V6 auto with top-of-the-line SE trim for £3000 when just over 3 years old!
Good things: well equipped - tiptronic-style autobox, cruise control, ABS, traction control, leather-faced seats, electric driver's seat, remote boot and petrol flap, nice split 60/40 rear seats, proper 3-point rear seat-belts, useful cubby-holes, proper climate-control. Brisk progress possible with the larger engine.
Bad things - only 4 speeds in the autobox, poorish fuel consumption (typically an average of 25-26 mpg), nasty plastics in the interior, seats are only partially leather and have vinyl backs (ugh!), ride poor on rough surfaces with a knocky, "whumpy" sound, though smooth on the motorway, cam-belt replacement by dealer is VERY expensive, headlights not the best (but improved when I fitted aftermarket, brighter bulbs ...
Advantages: Entertainment, a great opporunity to see a few different places on one holiday Disadvantages: food limited at night, slow room service, small-ish ship
I was recently taken on a 4 day Carnival cruise on their Paradise boat, departing from Long Beach, Ca, and visiting Catalina and Ensenada, Mexico. We left Monday evening and returned Friday morning. It was my first experience at cruising.
~ Booking ~
I was taken as a surprise trip, so I was not involved in the booking process and can not comment on it, or on the price paid per person, as I do not know.
~ Parking and Baggage Drop Off ~
When we eventually arrived at the Long Beach ferry terminal (through our own mistake we first went to the San Pedro terminal? whoops!) we easily found parking in a large multi-storey car park and, just as easily, dropped our baggage off with porters. Prior to arrival, we had received luggage tags that we'd filled in our details on. These meant that our baggage would be taken to our rooms, and would ...

Advantages: Cheap, very fun! Disadvantages: No good for young children, and it doesn't "progress" much.
This game is so fun!!! We got it with our Wii when we bought it and we got a little addicted to it!! Its got a variety of games on it which you can play which you find at real carnivals and funfairs! Games such as Coin toss, ball in a bucket, milkbottle tumbe and loads more!! You earn points and unlock prizes and more games as you go (my favourite prize is the G-Raff on the duck hitting game!!!!!!) It can be played by up to 4 players and if you only have one controller it accomodates this!!!
As well as been a great game, its cheap too!! The only thing with it, is that some of the games don't last very long, and once you've unlocked the few games extra you can get, the game doesnt progress, but that is the only fault, and as a game to play to pass the time and have a good laugh in the head to head mode, its a great game to have a good ...
