Liverpool Cruise Liner Terminal

They have decriminalised homosexuality? Oh well I suppose we live in more enlightened times these days.

Well I'm glad you have finally admitted it AD

really though whats wrong with " Pier Head Ferry Terminal "

Pier Head Ferry Terminal gets my vote. Let's be unfashionable and go back to calling things what they are. (And the government should apologise for calling themselves a Labour Party).

Maybe because it's not a "Ferry Terminal" it is a berth for cruise liners and, it's only attached to "Pier Head", it is a floating "pier". Good enough reasons I guess.

The chip on shoulder landing stage

I think this aspect of Scousism is as well known, worldwide, as is the Beatles.

Hi all

Frankly I think there is enough acknowledgement of Liverpool's connection to slavery. The Maritime Museum and the new museum at the Pier Head will make visitors aware enough of that. The new landing stage needs to have either a functional title or something that reflects the history of Liverpool as a port. The use of the Cunard name is not a bad suggestion and I don't find the name obscure at all, although Cunard-White Star might be better, considering that both Cunard and White Star ships were historically probably the best known vessels to sail from Liverpool in the heyday of the liners.

Cunard-White Star might be better

However, Cunard is still a marketing brand name and, indeed, it will be a cruise ship belonging to that company, the Queen Elizabeth 2, that will officiall open the new stage.

How about the Queen Elizabeth 2nd Landing stage?

[snappel]

This is easy. Big Bertha. What else would possibly do?

[Steven]

How about * The Lanny* that's what we used to call it.

[Kolchak]

'King Richard III'

'The Floater'

But seriously, I think something along the lines of the Cunard/White Star suggestions would be very apt.

But, and as pointed out earlier, Cunard White Star is a branded private operating company registerd to the owners of Carnival Cruise Line, of which Cunard White Star is a wholy owned subsidiary.

Most cruise ship piers, that I have visited, are named for the port in which they are situated. A few, mostly American, name them for a local dignity which, to my knowledge, are usually obscure to all but locals.

PS: I believe Carnival no longer use the "White Star" part of the brand.

Who is this Mr Hatton?

Who is this Mr Hatton?

A man who bankrupt a great city and gave it a bad name internationally.

[Howie]

Might be more appropriate to honour the Liverpool dockers in the name for their valiant struggle against casualisation and deregulation and the part they played in the growth of the international dockers movement.
