We walked off the ship into the historic port of Cobh famous for Titanic's last stop and the emigration of millions of Irish during the potato famine. We walked up to the cathedral but could not look round because of a funeral. Rosemary was blessed by several locals she chatted and the view over the harbour was worth the climb anyway. We sat in the new Garden of Reflection opened to remember Covid 19. We encountered an impromptu sing song outside a bar which turned out to be 1/3rd of Tri Amici from X factor finals in 2018. We had coffee and sandwich and strolled around the pretty quayside for a few hours before going back on board for cocktails round the pool. We caught he Irish Nights show, local 4 piece Dubliners type act with 4 Irish dancers. It was official welcome party with senior officers in attendance. Rosemary had a blue cocktail named after her - allegedly. The blue Aussie comedian was quite amusing too, Rack of lamb was excellent, duck breast not so good.
