ExArkie Posted September 23, 2020 #876 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I feel I am somewhat limited on contributing here. We have only done transatlantic on Cunard (how hard is it to identify New York and Southampton?) and not a lot of anything else, even on other lines. It did occur to me that there was one TA that stopped a few places. This photo - apologize for the mediocre quality, it was at (or just past) sunset and foggy - was an unscheduled departure port for this trip.

I captured those QE webcam images on December 26, 2019 when the itinerary states "Fiordland National Park, New Zealand". I couldn't say for sure which sound(s) those images are showing. The timestamps on the images indicate the first one was captured about 7:30am local NZ time while the second one was captured about 3:00pm.

We haven't previously seen the terminal buildings at this port, so this is an entirely different angle. I think this is Cadiz, Spain. 2 hours ago, Host Hattie said: I posted Cadiz last time and I didn't recognise this 😂 🙂 It is Cadiz, perfect. And thanks for the encouragement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted September 24, 2020 #880 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Here are a couple more webcam captures taken a few hours apart, but this time from QM2, and once again this is not a port per se. Where is QM2 in these shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was QM2's northbound transit of the Suez Canal on April 19, 2012 as she was nearing the end of her world voyage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted September 25, 2020 #889 Share Posted September 25, 2020 This photo shows QE sailing off into the distance after departing port a couple hours ago. Rather than identifying the port this time, identify the landmark shown in the foreground of this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took that photo from QM2 after we both departed Southampton on June 24, 2018. We were headed back to New York while QE was starting a cruise to France, Northern Spain and Guernsey.

No Mans Fort and Horse Sand Fort, I believe. Didn't manage a photo of Spitbank Fort. I'll have to check my piggy bank. Tough decision--buy a cruise ship or a fort. I'll have to think that one over. Or maybe buy one of each and have a cruise ship I can sail up to my fort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
