Went down to the cruise liner terminal today to see the warship HMS Illustrious before she departed. Now we have the new terminal we get to see a lot more big ships, both cruise liners and naval, close up.
I am looking forward to seeing the giant aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales when it is built in a few years time if god spares me. She is going to be affiliated to Liverpool, and so should be quite a frequent visitor.
The terminal should come into its own next year, with a lot more ships visiting. When it was opened this year, a lot of cruise firms had already planned their 2008 itinerary without their ships calling at Liverpool, but many have included Liverpool in their schedules for 2009. Not many ports in the world can provide berths right in the city centre, with the added majestic backdrop of Liverpool's three graces. We have a really unique selling point.
