Compliment nikkihawkins84 (28-11-2007) 4

My initial reaction to being told we were going on the SS Great Britain was "Oh great another boat!" I'm not a big history fan and my idea past-time is not wandering round an age old cruise liner that has been docked for years.
But I was pleasantly suprised. Apart from the fact that it wasn't really practical to push the buggy around the boat, even though they claim to accomodate for the disabled, it was interesting. You could browse at your own pleasure with commentry of what you were seeing if you wanted it through the headphones, and the occasional member of staff dressed as a crew member or passanger to give an insight into life on the boat.
Nothing was too complicated for my 7 year old brother to understand and it was interesting enough to keep my 1 year old son amused.
Great price as well considering you can go back when you want within a year once you've paid once.
