Still it is a break so we make the most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the forecast starting on Saturday, at least we will have warm rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amfc_lenny Posted August 31, 2021 Author #7 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Wishing given the weather we’d booked the southern cruising option! Usually early September is a bit warmer than the forecast for next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You drew the short straw then, most of the other cruises are now going south for some sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom10 Posted August 31, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Liverpool is a beautiful city and is a much nicer visit than sitting on a ship in warm weather so I dont think you have drawn the short straw. We are due in Belfast/Liverpool12th/13th with Princess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been told by Princess we can get off independently on 13th Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandancer Posted September 1, 2021 #17 Share Posted September 1, 2021 To answer the OPs original question I was told at Southampton that there are around 1900 passengers. There is no crowding and my only issue is the lifts where there is no restriction, other than the usual one, about numbers and people are pushing in even when the lift is almost full. I have heard a couple of people complaining that there are not enough guests on board. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trawlermen in the atrium are brilliant, the atrium is packed with people standing on the stairs watching their performances. The Limelight club has John Partridge in, not been to see him yet. There’s also a good guitarist/singer called Gabor Auth in various venues who is also very good. The only problem we’ve found is that the ship is quite cold.
