The last stop of our cruise was the small picturesque town of Cobh, right on the southern tip of Ireland. This place was to be the last stop of Titanic, although at the time the ship was too big to dock, so a tender was used to ferry the last hundred people to board and the ship moored some miles away in Queenstown. There is the actual White Star ticket office (now a museum) and remains of the pier for the tender.
One last pic of our cruise ship.
What an interesting looking place … I like the architecture and coloured properties and none of then look rundown at all.
The cathedral draws the eye doesn’t it … it seems an odd place to sandwich in a viaduct.
I bet you’ll be sad to come home.
Very picturesque 
Cobh reminded me of being in a model village, a full sized one. We were really taken with Cobh, enough for the wife to start looking for places to stay or coach trips around Ireland. So maybe one day, we’ll go back.
Yes, we really didn’t want to come off the boat at the end and could have easily stayed on it if we could, but we had to get home at some point if only to end up booking another cruise for next year. 
I have read about old folks who spent their entire year cruising (I don’t know if that is true).
Have only been on two cruises they were better than I expected (well I did go a second time) but it is not a holiday I think of much.
The last one I went on I booked about three weeks before it sailed and kept getting up graded, it was remarkably cheap, though boarding so soon after Covid was absolute hell, I nearly gave up and went home.
I’ve heard of them too … they get a cabin on a long lease. Some even sell up and spend all their time seafaring.
@Graham … I once had a forum friend who loved river cruises. In particular she loved the Norwegian fjords … the scenery was breathtaking and the pace more relaxed.
