Cork city is definitely worth a visit - jump on the train & have a wander around the city if you're not interested in the whole Blarney thing. Personally I'd go to Cork in the morning (it's pretty small, very walkable) have lunch in the city & then head back to Cobh early afternoon for a wander round & a couple of pub stops, Cathedral etc, and back to the ship.

If you need lunch suggestions let me know!

I would be interested in your lunch suggestions in Cork?

We took a train up to Murcia because it seemed like a larger city with more happening. It was fine. A nice city, but nothing special. When we got back and walked through Cartagena, I regretted missing the city and all its history. It's smaller, but I think it's still fine for a few hours on a cruise stay.

Thanks for your reply! I am thinking we will take our time and explore just Cartagena. As you say, Murcia is probably a very nice city, but if nothing too special, then maybe best to not worry with the extra travelling and enjoy Cartagena. After all, it is going to be a busy itinerary with 12 ports in 14 days, so will be nice to have more of a relaxing day!

We will be visiting the port of Cartagena next year on the HAL ms Eurodam. I have read that the port of Cartagena is very easy to explore on a walking tour on your own which sounds like a great plan!

However, I'm looking for opinions and thoughts on whether it would be worth adding in a visit to Murcia, or rather use the extra time to relax and enjoy our time in Cartagena itself?

Thanks

Can you please send a copy of the walking tour to me, too!

Many thanks

From Bella Sky does the Metro take you right to the cruise terminal? We will be leaving on the Eurodam next August and not sure which terminal this ship will be docked at?

Thanks
