Topic: Southampton cruise boss admits Liverpool is better destination

Hi
I live 20 miles from Liverpool but i do not wish to start my cruise from there as it would take an extra day to reach the Med, yes it should be OK for tranatantic crossing but that is all

There is going to be a fireworks display in the evening before she sails.
May watch it from the Wirral.

Thanks Maggie, I shall watch it from on board---tee hee!!!Cynthia

This is my first post and although i haven't read all the posts i hope this is fresh to the argument. I have no axe to grind with Liverpool i love the city but i think a better port for cruises in the north would be Hull especially for the Baltic and the Fjords after all P&O are already there and the road structure is ideal.

Hi Marlin.
Im from Widnes (almost Liverpool) and i agree,anywhere but Southampton for me.
After going to Southampton 3 weeks ago and seeing the facilities for embarkation i believe Liverpool could build a big shed like theirs.
And also have one of Englands great cities to visit.Yeh,Yeh,Yeh:D.

PS.QM2 in Liverpool.can you see yourself Cynthia?

I'm from Widnes to, originally from Liverpool. Emigrated 7 years ago. (i want to go home ) If i can't cruise from liverpool i'm not going. Had a horrendous time getting to southampton last year, never again. Why all the agro anyway, there are enough cruises now to accomadate both Liverpool and Southampton. Going from liverpool this year. Liverpool is a brilliant city, had a lot of money invested in her and it shows. All we need now is a decent terminal.
Were getting an M&S in widnes on Thursday yippee, Yippee, yippee

Five weeks and I get rid of wife and daughter for two weeks on Fred Olsen from Liverpool. They will tell me what it's like from Liverpool............Me? I'll probably be decorating for two weeks. Aloise I enjoyed going from Southampton two years ago...... Hawaii from Los Angeles.....That's a stinker....Good trip even so..........
ps I'm from Liverpool.... that's the place without a 'Proper' airport.

;)southampton is okfor the people of england what about us in scotland liverpool isfar nearer for us the only way to travel to southampton is fly or train or bus when the timetables come out either may or june to let for us

Well, Liverpool would suit us and save us around £250 in Eavesway coach fares per cruise (which would be an added incentive to go on some of the shorter ones).

Nice to hear from a couple of fellow Wiganers too

;):D:o
