Great pic Marky.
Nice Pic!
That ship looks nicer and sleeker than some of the multi-level ships that have berthed there.
The Ark Royals visit is the perfect chance to also photograph a certain Government building, that tries to keep a low profile.
just got back from Pier Head
Saga Rose isn't bad. they had opera booming out of the speakers when we were there. Looking forward to the Ark Royal. last time I saw that was at Portsmouth.

Max have you tried the Cruise Ship Calls 2008 website? Scroll down to Liverpool and those ships in red use the Cruise Liner Terminal.Quote:

Yes, heard them too. Thought it was kids messin' with the wheelie bins and went out to remonstrate with them before realising my mistake. :oQuote:

Thank you, Ged, Lindy and ADW.
I saw the Ark Royal come in at New Brighton, and will post a few snaps in this thread.
It seems a good idea to me to keep these special visits all in one place.
Nice to look back on, in the future. :)
Bumped into Kebabman at Seacombe! :PDT11

That's Kebabman on the right.
It was only after I took this photo that I recognised him.

Grand Princess docks at Liverpool Cruise Terminal
Jun 11 2008
THE largest passenger ship ever to visit Liverpool sailed up to the city’s cruise liner terminal at the Pier Head this morning.
The Grand Princess carries 2,600 passengers, is 950ft long and weighs in at 109,000 tons.
The superliner docked at 6am this morning and will sail out at 7pm tonight.
The visit is part of a 12 day long tour by the liner around the British Isles.
The massive vessel boasts a whole deck of mini-suites, 700 balcony staterooms, casino, cigar lounge, afternoon tea served daily and onboard theatre.
Facilities aboard include a spa, 10 restaurants and eateries, swimming pools, kids clubs, sports simulators, internet cafe and an outdoor cinema.
Grand Princess is the first ever Princess ship to visit Liverpool and will return to the city three more times this summer on 5 and 29 July and 22 August.
Log on for a full gallery of pictures of the Grand Princess later today.
