    I saw this tonight and have decided to photograph every visiting ship that comes to Cobh - from the Clipper Odyssey (128 passengers) to the Independence Of The Seas (4375 passengers).

    Anyone else interested in this?

    If you think the Independence of the seas looks impressive from the outside, you'd want to see it from the inside. It's HUGE. There is an indoor street. It looks good at night with all the lights on the decks on but I don't think it docks in Cork overnight but it looks good during the day too.

    Blog it.

    OK, so the first ship to visit Cobh is Queen Victoria (2000 passengers). She arrives and leaves next Monday, 11th April. I'll definitely be there at some stage during the day (ship is in port between 08:00 - 18:00) and it would be great to meet one or more of you. RSVP's on a postcard... :D

    Took this shot in 2008.
    I think it was the Maiden Voyage, for Independence of the Seas.

    This Wednesday, 'Athena' docks in Cobh at 08:00. I intend to be down there early to document her visit and am going to look for a different viewpoint. Anyone interested in joining me?

    Hey guys. Next ship is 'M/V Discovery' which docks in Ringaskiddy, Deep Water Berth on Wednesday. Anyone, anyone...? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,168 ✭✭✭colblimp


    Didn't 'do' (:eek:) Discovery yesterday - she's going to Cobh in September, so I'll do the necessary, then.

    Emerald Princess (113,000 GT) in Cobh tomorrow - anyone want to join me?

    The Costa Deliziosa will be there the next time I'm down in Cobh. She's hardly worth the effort though, is she? A paltry 2826 Pax. :(

    While not strictly a cruise ship, or Cobh for that matter, I came across this beauty moored in Cork today. Thought it would be appropriate to put it here...
