I think Samuel Cunard will turn in his grave,. All three Queens under a foreign flag, registered in Hamilton , Bermuda. and owned by the the American Company, Carnival.
It will be a good sight tho`. a bit of a tight fit on the Mersey.
I will go along to see them as I have sailed on them.
Cheers

Bit far ahead but sounds like an ideal opportunity and place for a special meet up and organise a do at the P & W, brush off your badges, straighten your ties and put some gates on the stairs at the P & W to keep the Johns on the upper deck!!

Ivan,without looking that far ahead I'm sure some of the chaps will be coming upto Liverpool next year,I look forward to seeing them.In a couple of months time we should have a better idea of what is going on,on the river and around the Albert Dock and when.I think the giants are coming back next year if anybody is interested in seeing some street theatre.Last year it was the Titanic theme with the little girl (not little in size) and the diver,a spectacular sight.Let the lads decide what they want to see and what month to come.
