It is a rare Cunard port though, only appearing twice on the scheduled itineraries I have. It has not been mentioned on this thread yet.

Perhaps it's time for a hint? On 11/10/2020 at 10:38 AM, carlmm said: Even our Cunard organized tour was done by taxi. Well, at least for cruise ship passengers they won't need anything else on a regular basis when maybe two ships or so call each year. Before I post my next round of anagrams, I'd like to revive these photos from @carlmm to see if we can finally identify this location. I've had a theory for quite some time as to what this location is, but have not been able to find any online photos that do more than give just a general impression of the place. To help me determine if I'm on the right track, is there a special day which happens to be coming up next week which might be of some significance to this location, based on its name?

OK, I'm going with San Andrés Island. That was another port stop on your Fort Lauderdale-Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa cruise on Caronia, so that's what got me looking at it in the first place. And St. Andrew's Day is coming up one week from today on November 30th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one more of the nice smaller ports not accessible by the current fleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted November 23, 2020 #1707 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Before I spend too much more time trying to identify the latest cruise port photos, here's the next round of port name anagrams. There are quite a few short names here, but there are also one or two ports that we haven't seen mentioned on this thread yet. Please pick one of these to solve per day. You're welcome to answer even if you've already solved one earlier today from the previous round. Cunard Port Name Anagrams (Round 7) 66. Like 67. Arouse 68. In Cars 69. Land Use 70. Her Vale 71.

sfred Posted November 25, 2020 #1718 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I have amazed myself for seeing this solution, as it is far too many letters for my head to usually get across. But there it is... 80 Whitsunday Islands (aka Airlie Beach) Which leads to me to another thought... Is this the longest Cunard port name, at 17 letters? Any others the same, or longer? I'll do some research later tonight or tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll do some research later tonight or tomorrow. @sfred, I'm glad to see you discovered the other Australian port name in this round. Here are the port names with the most letters (not counting spaces) I'm seeing listed in the itineraries for the current Cunard fleet. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (22 letters) Santa Cruz de Tenerife (19 letters) Santa Cruz de La Palma (18 letters) If you discount those "de" ports because they include both the city and the island in the full port name, then here are a couple more port names I'm seeing which tie Whitsunday Islands at 17 letters. Newcastle upon Tyne Bandar Seri Begawan Another Australian port gets honorable mention as a sail-by call, also with 17 letters. Wilsons Promontory If we stretch the premise quite a bit, here's another sail-by call listed in the itineraries that's 21 letters. International Date Line Of course I may have missed some longer port names. Let me know if you find any others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfred Posted November 25, 2020 #1721 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Thanks @bluemarble. My research found the same ports as you. Both Las Palmas de Gran Canaria at 22 letters and Santa Cruz de Tenerife at 19 are officially named as such, so I think these two might be the winner and runner-up for Cunard ports with the longest names. If QE makes it back to Australia/NZ one day, perhaps she might visit Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu on the North Island east coast of New Zealand. According to Wikipedia, It holds the Guinness world record for world's longest place name, at 85 letters. In Europe, the record at 58 letters appears to be Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch on the Isle of Anglesey, Wales Edited November 25, 2020 by sfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QE was due to call at Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (16 letters and a hyphen) last May, which I assume didn't happen. Has any of the others been there?
