one error on the lsit is Carribean Princess. It will be Crown Princess that will be coming into Liverpool as its a regular port of call for her. Carribean is based out of Fort Lauderdale

Don"t shoot the messenger, the list i have state"s the
Caribbean Princess.
Maybe the type setter does not know his Caribbean from his Crown.

Disguised as a link, there is a similar list already elsewhere on this forum, on a thread regarding the Cruise Terminal (Liverpool Airport News & Developments section).

liverpool.gov.uk/leisure-parks-and-events/information-for-tourists/cruise-visits-to-liverpool/index.aspx

I repeat the link, as interestingly both lists have gaps, which the other listing fills in, so effectively complimenting each other! Barfluer's list has one additional interesting visit (9/9 Queen Mary 2). Both lists name the Caribbean Princess not Caribbean Crown as being the Caribbean Line cuise-ship calling a number of times during the summer.

George Jones draws my attention to the fact that Holyhead has 19 cruise ship calls booked for 2012. He also drew attention to the knock-on effects to the economy not just to Merseyside of cruise ship visits, but the whole region. He is involved with the Llangollen steam railway, which has several charter trips booked for day-tripping cruise passengers from Liverpool.
