My husband thoroughly enjoyed the Ship Simulator Experience which I had purchased for his 60th Birthday. The staff were excellent - very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. My husband successfully manoevered a tanker through 'Hong Kong harbour' and directed a Commodore Clipper from Cowes to Southampton! We even had time for a tour of New York harbour! My daughter and I also appreciated the opportunity to watch the amazing graphics and have a go at the helm. Great fun!
