British Isles (Dublin Overnight) Crown Princess

[Jenny2121]

We are going to be stopping in Cork, Ireland for a day on Crown Princess.  We would like to see The Old Church Cemetery.  Very interested in the Lusitania.  Is it in walking distance from where the ship docks? If so, are there sidewalks?  How long of a walk? Or would a taxi be better and how long of a drive?

The cemetery is about 1.5 miles (2 km) from the port gate.  It is walkable, but uphill.  You may not find taxis available for this short run, as they will want to be taking people on longer trips.

Thank you!

If you’re interested in Lusitania, you might want to think about a trip out to Old Kinsale Head. It’s the closest point to where the ship lies, and there’s a memorial and museum there.

Crown Princess will be stopping in Dublin for two days on the trip British Isles (Dublin Overnight).  We looked at Google Earth and noticed it will be about a 50 minute walk from the ship to Downtown Dublin. When getting off the ship, does anyone know if there are taxis waiting for  people getting off the ship and driving them downtown?  Or buses? Or Hop On Hop Off buses? Rather than taking excursions that the ship offers, we prefer to do it on our own. Also, recommendations on what to see. Thanks, Jenny
