Thank-you Rosie, John and Graham for a prompt payment. I am keen to get the bookings firmed up for the meals to ensure we have these booked.

Whole trip now booked:

Virgin Trains to Liverpool Friday morning on a ridiculously cheap 1st Class Advance Purchase ticket.
River view room at the Malmaison next to the Crowne Plaza for two nights (unfortunately arrive after QV arrives at berth).
Cabin on night Stena Line on Sunday night to Belfast. Would be cheaper to fly, but get little chance to get to sea these days.
Two nights at the Fitzwilliam Hotel, Belfast in a studio suite.
Tours around Belfast for the Titanic Experience, SS Nomadic, Crumlin Road Gaol and the Crown Public House plus side trip out to the Devil's Causeway. Reservations at two of Belfast's best restaurants.
Easy and cheap flight home with Easyjet to London Luton late Wednesday evening.

Costing a small fortune, but really looking forward to what is going to be a memorable trip notwithstanding getting to meet up with you all.

I'm sure everyone will have a great time.

Thanks to everybody who's paid promptly, it makes things so much easier for us.

A couple of people asked us how they pay if they do not have a PayPal account.  You do not need a paypal account.  Please just click the 'Pay with a debit or credit card' link, as shown in the attached screenshot.  The same, by the way, goes for forum donations!!
