Wasn't the old landing stage known as the Princes Landing Stage? What would have been wrong with that? The chosen name seems to me a bit work-a-day and uninspired but I suppose it will serve its purpose. :rolleyes:Quote:

At least with the title Ocean gateway, it's telling the world something - that this is your first port of call, like in the old days.
I wonder how much a team of consultants were paid to think that name up, there was a case a few years ago of bradford university wanted a name for the new teaching hospital after nine months the consultants came up wioth university of bradford teaching hospital

The mind boggles

LIVERPOOL’S new cruise liner landing stage will be towed into its new home before the end of May, leaving just weeks to rehearse its security and management processes.
However, council cruise manager Angie Redhead last night insisted that the project was racing forward at ‘‘full steam ahead’’ pace.
The council’s executive board will today formally endorse the new name for the £19m cruise facility, to be known as the City of Liverpool Cruise Terminal. continues....
Thats great news! I hope it all goes to plan. I work in the Cunard Building so I have a birds-eye view of the site.
Great stuff!
*sigh* I wish they would call the landing stage 'the floaty for the boaty' dunno why...just amuses me.
^^It's a biggin!^^
