Non-Believer Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Wait until the Liverpool Terminal opens. We won't be able to see what we've paid £100M for either..... 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is this, a fully grown adult is supposed to jonk around the inside, slowing them down. But, what happens if the ship is sinking and you have to yeet a child down that thing. Do they go hand in hand with the adult? What if it’s two parents and three kids, is one just sacrificed to the vertical abyss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a tour of the interior on MR, it looks lovely; tastefully and well appointed. Nice little touches like "welcome aboard, this is the green staircase" rather than just a sign saying "green staircase". The kennels also look much better than the sad cages in the BMC and Mannanan.

2112 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Was the Peoples Prince on the Steam Packet Boat Committee like he sat on the Promenade Committee, and was a member of the Department of Incompetence. He has remained quiet regarding the fiasco at the Airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finlo Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Just an observation the Manxman is berthed on the Manannans linkspan so the Manannan docked on the Ben's linkspan all tickety boo so why do we need to spend millions extending the dolphin when they could just stick with that arrangement? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was just riding too high in the water for passenger comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
