I'll go to the foot of our stairs

Two cruise ships dock in Tenerife this weekend, bringing with them a total of 5,000 passengers, report Europa Press. And they're taking them on four guided routes of the capital, says a communique from the Society for the Development of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Another 3,600 of the visitors are of British origin, aboard the Independence of the Seas, currently the world's largest ship, which returns to the island on Sunday. Meanwhile, on Saturday, 1,400 French, Italian and German tourists docked aboard Costa Cruises', cruise ship, Costa Europa (which was at the time the largest ship to be launched sideways.)

"The note reveals," continues the report, that "all of them [the passengers] will be attended at the foot of the stairway by 5 tourist information officers who will offer information on attractions, inviting them to see Santa Cruz and the principal commercial, historical and gastronomic areas of the city."

I'll go to the foot of our stairs, for readers who don't come from the North of England, is "an exclamation of surprise" and mine is based on complaints we've heard in the past about the town being shut when ships dock.
