Cobh ‘must try harder’ following annoyed visitor’s experience in Titanic town

Having visited Cobh today, in an effort to join in the Titanic celebrations, I am disheartened that the only words that come to mind after having spent the day there are “could try harder”.

We were lucky to have gone through the Titanic Experience exhibition early in the day because later on, when the Marco Polo liner had berthed and its passengers were being given a tour of the said exhibition, the average Joe Soap on the street was being turned away and being asked to come back later around 7pm and give it a go then.

So, let’s move on to the Queenstown Heritage Centre’s one and only restaurant — well, about 3pm a note was taped to their door, and the door was shut and would-be customers were asked to come back half an hour later as the restaurant needed to close to replenish its stock.
