We got so lucky - I was visiting Liverpool with my cousin who lives in Sydney, Australia. I insisted that we needed to do the ferry across the mersey as it's such an iconic thing to do when in Liverpool With it being November we didn't pre book just arrived at the terminal a couple of minutes early and got our tickets. We wanted to the full experience so sat outside at the front. Amazingly we got a perfect blue sky day for our journey. We saw all the sights and loved the commentary. A perfect thing to do when in Liverpool

Ferry "cross the mersey" - While on a short break in Liverpool we were walking around the Albert Dock area and came across the ferry terminal,where we booked a 50 minute trip across the mersey, this goes on the hour and tickets are quite reasonable,when the ferry arrived it was not the brightly painted one it shows on the brochure but one which had seen better days,but was clean and comfortable and quite spacious and of course played the iconic "ferry cross the mersey "several times, well worth the cost.

I mean, not sure what the... - I mean, not sure what the hype is. The boat was so incredibly rusty and in bad shape. The pictures shown are deceiving as this is not the boat that was facilitating the cruises. The cruise is basically going around in a circle with commentary. Didn't find it interesting or worth the money.
