Now this is my idea of a liveaboard.

Arrived in Portimao this morning. Royal Clipper - Wikipedia
To join her little sister.

I want to see just you and swmbo setting the anchor, never mind putting in a reef.

More info about Royal Clipper -
ROYAL CLIPPER (Passenger Ship) Registered in Malta - Vessel details, Current position and Voyage information - IMO 8712178, MMSI 215813000, Call Sign 9HA2796

The vessel in your third photo appears to be the Danish sail training ship 'Danmark'
DANMARK (Training Ship) Registered in Denmark - Vessel details, Current position and Voyage information - IMO 5086279, MMSI 219500000, Call Sign OXDK

Royal Clipper used to be the largest square rigger sailing, but Golden Horizon now holds this title -
GOLDEN HORIZON (Passenger) Registered in Croatia - Vessel details, Current position and Voyage information - IMO 9793545, MMSI 238021000, Call Sign 9A6701

I think that Golden Horizon was originally going to be part of the Star Clippers fleet, but something happened and she is now with another operator -

I should look outside more often.

Those ships mostly go under engine. A few sails up and that's it. I asked a skipper of one why and he said timetables. Bit sad.

I think that this is a bit of an unfair generalisation - yes, if they have to get to windward in a hurry they have to motor.
I think that Royal Clipper is currently 'turning around' here each week (like she has often done in the past in pre-covid times), and when she returns here she has to motor.
But I know that they (and others like the bermudan rigged vessels min the Wind Star fleet) make the most of a fair wind where ever possible.
I remember some years ago Royal Clipper had two Masters who alternated and they happened to be twins, and they were both die hard sailors.
They would leave the Bridgetown Port here in the evening, and they would try to set most of the sails as soon as they got off the berth, and have them drawing nicely as they sailed out of the harbour entrance (and yes, they were under power then as well).
But in a good breeze on a broad reach these vessels can easily reach 'hull speed', and then their generating capacity is just used for hotel services, rather than propulsion.

I prefer a modest private yacht rather than one of those ships. Something like this private yacht:-
