Probably not about Liverpool being capable or not but moreso major cruise liners I guess see Southampton logistically and economically better for themselves

Yes , Cunard for example were based in Liverpool until from 1840 to 1967 when they went to Southampton .

Exactly, not sure why I'm getting heckled for thinking it would be amazing for the city. Quicker for Atlantic cruises either way.

It would be great , I was at the Pier Head 2013 when the three Queens came in ,it was an unforgettable sight.. It has to be said though the Liverpool waterfront didn't look too attractive back in the 1960's when Cunard pulled out. Now it's been transformed and still improving . Plenty of cruise liners call but I doubt we'll ever get the transatlantic trade back from Southampton.

There has been talk in the city of it returning to Liverpool, with Cunard being housed back up here as well.

Carnival won't relocate any of their business up here. Would be marvellous if they did though.

Why won't they? What about P&O?

It feels like the lack of ambition from our current and previous MP's and metro mayor has rubbed off on everyone.

Only my opinion of course but P&O too embedded down there. As an example, their Norwegian Fjord cruises turned down a proposal from Hull to use that port as a base. Doing so would save two days at sea.

That ship sailed long ago.

See what I did there.

He's to busy sticking his penis in fishes mouths.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Have they served much stronger drinks at BMD today? Because it sounds like it...

 

[PhilRegan]

So a bit like the co op over the road from the emptyhad, hopefully it doesn't fall to bits like that one.
