Shogun Posted August 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hi All, While Scotland is not a big place, cruising is the fastest growing part of the holiday market, so when there is a cruise show at the national exhibition centre you would expect all the large operators to be there, RCI NCL Carnival Celebrity Fred Olson Silver Sea Regent Windstart etc etc so which big player is missing Princess and P&O as well as Cunard so question why, the same show goes to Birmingham as well as London and guess what the three of them are there, at least cruise critic will be there. yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umbertsmum Posted August 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2012 That seems very shortsighted of Princess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simok99 Posted August 10, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hi Shogun, probably think Scotland's tool far away from Southampton.:o when they start cruising from Liverpool you can stop over at our place and maybe they may make the Scottish show.

Shogun Posted August 10, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hi Longcruiser, nice to hear from you again, so you are coming over to my little part of the world, weather could be anything from heat wave like today to flash floods a few days ago, so pack for all. If you go to the Princess bucket list you will see a story I wrote about greenock. Do you have any tours booked yours Shogun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandgbasset Posted August 10, 2012 #10 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Hi shogun: I don't post much but I wanted to tell you we just got back from a Hal cruise to Norway and Scotland and I absolutely LOVED Scotland. It was beautiful, and the bagpipes. There were a group of bagpipers outside the ship at one port selling cd's.of course I had to get one. Also bought a refrigerator magnet that plays bagpipe music. We hate flying. Would love to visit again, wish we could cruise there from San francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr green Posted August 10, 2012 #11 Share Posted August 10, 2012 We made a visit in Star Princess 2006. Will never forget the 'sing along' on the ferry as we crossed the R Clyde. Since we were not on a 'highway' the guide could stand up, and he was one great fiddler.:D john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted August 11, 2012 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The question really should be: why isn't Princess UK at the show? It seems as though the UK-based Carnival Corporation lines aren't represented. Unless I'm missing something, Princess wouldn't attend the show as that would be up to Princess UK, which is a separate division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caber Posted August 11, 2012 #14 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hi long cruiser, Remember us? We were one of the Scottish contingent. We, (George and Helen) and Andrew (bandblady) met bobka (Bob and Eileen) and retiredtimes2 (Dawna and Rick from Canada) in Greenock last September and took them all on a whistlestop tour of Scotland, Edinburgh, Stirling and Loch Lomond. We had lunch in Stirling with bandblady(Kay and Andrew). Mrs. Shogun joined us there with balernocalling (Elaine and Doug). We had a great day and the sun shone. I hope the sun shines for you this September and you have a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a great idea if Princess ran cruises between there and Scotland, and back of course.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
