The new cruise terminal overlooks our lovely buildings on the waterfront (stunning)this is where the Grand berthed--and didn't she look lovely.I can't wait till our cruise on her next year.The cheaper end of the cruise sector choose places like our Langton dock area because of cost,it's a working dock.This is why their cruises are cheaper (its not rocket science!!).Lots of people who we spoke to off the Grand loved our city --there was a buzz in the air when she visited recently,so please credit where it's due please. I recently boarded the Sea Princess in Barbados the area was dissapointing but we realised this is a working dock area and not at all representative of the island.

You speak as though I do not know Liverpool. I know Liverpool very well, being born only a few miles further along the Mersey, also my mother was born in Wallasey. I know it is a great city - I never said it was not, my comments were pointed towards the docks USED by Thomson and Olsen. Perhaps you think that a couple of thousand for a weeks cruise is cheap but I can assure you there are many that do not. I was pointing out that they deserve better facilities at Langdon Dock so perhaps the companies concerned should do something about it. So. please don't take on about Liverpool having lovely buildings - I know it has and I also know the waterfront very well, please do not patronise me by quoting 'rocket sience' when I refer to the facilities offered by the cheaper cruise lines. You appear to be over sensitive or misunderstood my comments re Langton Dock - I hope you will now understand my comments were NOT about the City of Liverpool but about facilities.

How ridiculous is this - you are turning this into a personal 'vendetta' - i think you are being oversensitive not 'Dinning'. And just for the record I am not from Liverpool but i did come there on the Grand Princess in August and loved it.

I feel you are being very unfair to my city,which incidently is choca-block this weekend.99%+ will not be seeing the Langton Dock which admittedly is a scrap exporting area.Please let us know when you're visiting again I will arrange for our "fur coat" to be draped over said scrap metal.Also--never visit Tenerife (offensive old working port)Barbados,Jamaica,theAzores, etc,etc you will find them offensive as they're WORKING PORTS TOO!!!!!

good jod ships don't have wheels they would be nicked

Rolled about laughing at this oh so witty but out of date comment by Big Dog! Please check reply to the same comment by that other idiot Skinback!

You can sail from Liverpool. Both Fred Olsen and Thomson sail cruise ships from the port. Unfortunately, they do not berth in the new dock used by the Grand Princess. They use a minor dock with very few facilities. BUT YOU CAN SAIL FROM LIVERPOOL, unfortunately not yet to the Caribbean, I too do remember the huge passenger liners that sailed from Liverpool, Cunard and remember the Empress of Canada - wonderful ship. I too look forward to the time when world class passenger liners return to our once famous Liverpool Port - not on a visit but to take-up passengers.
