I googled all of the port stops on an upcoming cruise and found the below info. Does this look right? The cruise itinerary only lists Waterford and Dublin as tenders which seems odd.
Waterford - tender / transport needed to town
Belfast - dock / transport needed
Killybegs - dock / walkable
Galway - dock / walkable
Dingle - tender / walkable
Dublin - tender / transport needed
Cork - tender / transport needed

We were on the Epic in 2017 and we were able to open the little door in the partition between our balconies 🤷♀️

Have you tried joining any Roll Call there might be for your sailing?
This is where you would have the best chance of finding fellow passengers to share a private tour, or a shared taxi. You would maybe find that a private tour has been arranged and they are looking for others to join it, or where you could ask if anyone would be happy to share the cost of a one-way taxi with you.
Yes, I did join the roll call. We are a group of 8 so not too concerned about finding people to share a taxi but thanks for the suggestion.

We sailed on Norwegian star last may and caught the train into Cork from Cobh. We then shared a taxi with another couple to Blarney castle which meant we arrived early and didn't have to queue. We then caught the 215 bus back to Cork and the return train to Cobh
Thanks for the suggestion, I like this idea a lot. Was it easy to find a taxi, and where did you go to find one? Also do you remember the approximate cost (I’m guessing for 4 people)?

Thanks for the input everyone! Although I would like to DIY this one we will probably go with a tour. And autocorrect kept changing Cobh to Cobb (DYAC!)

We are docking in Cobb and will take train from Cobb to Cork. Then wondering if taking 215 bus from Cork to Blarney castle is easy and will not be too crowded.

Hi! We will be in Cork on NCL Star in May. We are looking to save money at a few of the ports so wondering if taking bus 215 to Blarney Castle is as easy as it seems? Or would we be better off booking a tour? Will the public bus be too crowded when a ship is in port? Thanks for any insight.

Thanks for checking and correcting my port info. I've never been on a cruise with this many tenders and I want to be prepared for timing purposes.
