bluemarble Posted September 5, 2020 #428 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Here's one that should be a challenge but hopefully not extremely difficult. This is a replacement port for one on our original itinerary that was canceled. As far as I know this is the only time any of the current Cunard Queens have called at this port. I've never seen it listed in any Cunard itinerary. First, here's the ship in port. Of course that reveals very little, so here's a photo from the city itself which should help provide a general idea of the region. Next is a natural attraction on the outskirts of the city. One final hint is that this port is a large city with a population of over a million and other cruise lines call at this port. Happy hunting!

I'll start by identifying the ship on the left as the Norwegian Epic. We've sailed on that ship and I'd recognize that ugly face anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted September 5, 2020 #431 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Oh, duh! The ship on the right is the same Mein Schiff (or later Mein Schiff 1 depending on the date of the photo) that we first discussed back on the Grenada portion of this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted September 5, 2020 #433 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Just now, exlondoner said: Could it be Antalya? Excellent! That didn't take long at all. As with the Valletta, Malta photo I posted earlier, Antalya, Turkey was a replacement port during our November 2012 "Holy Land Explorer" cruise when the calls at Israel and Egypt were canceled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted September 5, 2020 #434 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Well, that took longer than it should have. The cruise ship in the middle of @Host Hattie's cruise ship photo is the Marella Dream, previously known as the Thomson Dream from 2010 to 2017. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted September 5, 2020 Author #435 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Correct, she was Thomson Dream at the time the photograph was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with Queen Elizabeth. That looks like the arch at the entrance to the bowls court on deck 11. I don't think that feature exists on Queen Victoria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
