Crown Princess, biggest cruise liner ever to sail into Liverpool
SIZE really does matter, it turns out - at least in the cruise liner business.
The Crown Princess is the biggest liner ever to berth in the Mersey - at 113,000 tonnes and 951ft in length she's a very big girl indeed.
It's tremendous to see ships of this size back in the Mersey - no-one needs reminding of the city's maritime heritage and since the new cruise liner terminal opened there's been a steady stream of these giants of the seas.
We knew there would be massive interest in the Crown Princess's visit, so had photographers covering every angle - Andrew Teebay on board, James Maloney on the quay side and Paul Heaps in the air!
The pictures speak for themselves, but my favourite is Andy's picture of the woman diving into the pool, above, with the Liver Birds watching in the background - it's almost like a Hockney painting.
