Creator's Key Takeaways

We've cruised all over the world, but somehow we've never sailed from our home city of Liverpool.

We would recommend this Harley to anybody. Hats off to Tommy, the guys, and to Joe, the driver.

If you're thinking about staying in the Pullman, do make sure you ask for a high floor and a river view.

The parking here is £28 for 24 hours, but if you get your ticket stamped at the desk, you save £10.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive a day early to turn embarkation day into a mini city break.
When staying at the Pullman Hotel, request a high floor (7 or 8) with a river view to see the ships arriving.
Get your parking ticket stamped at the hotel desk to save £10 on Liverpool Cruise Port parking.
Use the CPS parking service for a quick and efficient luggage transfer to the terminal.
