Pros: Comfy seats, plenty of rest breaks, cheaper than flying or driving myself. Cons: The floor of the departing trip had some weird styrofoam bits on the floor that got all over my bag, and the windows always had grease marks. Overall though, it was fine. Tips: The power outlets weren't working for the first half of one of the rides. I had brought some external batteries and had downloaded entertainment beforehand anyway, so I wasn't affected, but some people had a hard time with it. Plan for the amenities to not exist, and then hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised :).
