Irish Naval Base in Cork
How our Bliss Filters work
As we pulled into the port of Cork, Ireland, aboard Royal Princess, we all noticed a tribute to the Titanic. Most of us thought England was its last stop before sinking, but it wasn't.
Cork is a quiet, quaint town with new buildings combined with the old: museums and the castle with The Blarney Stone. Kissing the stone upside down gives you the gift of gab, which i didn't need...LOL.
The steps up the castle were steep, slippery and narrow. We decided to watch the Step dancers, and there was also an option to go to the Largest Wool Store in Ireland. We also were given Irish coffee, if you never had it in Ireland, sip slow, it's very strong.
Overall, a wonderful day in the Irish countryside!

The gorgeous architecture of old blends with the very modern downtown area or Cork.

They start to teach Irish Step dancing to kids at a very young age. It is unbelievable the stamina and strong muscles these young dancers have.

The Royal Princess in dock, she was christened by Princess Kate when first built. One of two newest and most beautiful Princess ships.

Bars line the shores of the harbor and as we left the yells and cheers were so wonderful.The people of this area of Ireland are so very nice and friendly and were excited to see a ship this size.

Most of the housing was along the water in colors and townhouse style.
