"theqe2story" website was my friend to track this one down. I think this is QE2's 1997 call at Trondheim, Norway.

It was and as you can tell from the picture, it was a warm and sunny day.  A port I would love to go back to.

[Lanky Lad]

This port has been seen before.

I think this one is Le Havre, France. QV was scheduled to be there on 13/4/2011 and what we can see of that red and white terminal building matches the Le Havre cruise terminal.

Yes that is correct again.

Thank you for adding your photos today to keep this game going. I'll keep adding my photos/webcam images one per day until I run out of them (in about a week).

Maybe Kiel?

This is a tricky one. There is strong evidence in the photo pointing to the port but no itineraries I have show QE calling there in 2011. Yet I have found other video evidence that she did indeed call at this port on June 4, 2011. This apparently was a replacement port for the originally planned call at Copenhagen on that date.

 

This one is Travemünde, Germany.

Correct, but we did do Copenhagen on another day.  Quite a bit of the itinerary was changed around. It was part of the Baltic cruise.

 

Was:

31st May, Tuesday – embark

1st June, Wednesday – at sea

2nd June, Thursday – Oslo, Norway

3rd June, Friday – Copenhagen, Denmark

4th June, Saturday – Travemunde, Germany

Should have been:
31st May – embark
1st June – at sea
2nd June – Kristiansand
3rd June - Oslo
4th June – Copenhagen

Got it. So essentially, after all the shuffling around, Travemünde ended up being a substitute port for Kristiansand on that Baltic cruise. I have updated my QE itineraries accordingly. Thanks.

This contribution stretches the premise of showing ships in port a bit but I'm running very low on photos. The first photo shows a portion of the ship in port but of course that doesn't reveal very much. The second photo is the view from the ship in port and that should be relatively easy to identify.

Yes, even I can do that one. Bridge looks lovely lit up.

That is correct of course.

Here is my contribution for the day.  Not a port, but a QE cruise by. 

 

[sfred]

Same location, slightly different angle.

I think these are Hubbard Glacier, Alaska.

[sfred]

Correct @bluemarble !    25 May 2019 maiden cruiseby.  We had an amazing clear sunny day.

[sfred]

And finally, with this photo I'm afraid I've reached the end of my port+ship photos.  I saved it for last because I thought it might be too hard.  But having seen the detective skills on display in this thread, perhaps it is easier than I thought.  QE moored at pier.

Thanks everyone for keeping this going for a whole month. I think this one is going to be far too easy.

No, not far too easy in my estimation (it lasted more than 30 minutes), but easy enough in the end. This one is Gibraltar.
