Two days later. But I'll leave the identification for someone else.

Okay, thank you. It's Valencia.

[Host Hattie]

It is Valencia from Queen Victoria

Can't work out if it's Marina or Riviera. I don't know enough about them to tell the difference.

 

It is actually Riviera, but based on that photo of mine, I don't know any way to determine which one of those two it is either. Here's the proof from later that day after Costa Mediterranea had joined the party and we were preparing to tender back to QM2.

It is. And the tiny Sea Goddess II. ...

 

I can't say I recognized the port of Port-Vendres, France or that it would have even made my short list of ports to check. I went looking for information on that other ship in your photo, Cala Portese. I found she's been spending most of her time in the far east but I did find a photo of her that was taken at Port-Vendres and everything fell neatly into place after that.

Well, I think I've figured out how @Colin_Cameron has been so seemingly prescient about your last two photos (unless you've posted them previously that I haven't found). It would appear he was on that same voyage as you after reading your blog "Notes from a QV cruise - Rome to Southampton". 😉

I wasn't going to post this as I thought it would be too difficult but having seen the detective skills on this thread it probably won't last the afternoon 😃

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that's Rapallo, Italy.

[Host Hattie]

Very nearly ....

[bluemarble]

Not sure exactly where it would be then, but your attachment file name is "IMG_20180907_151333_1.jpg" which tells me it was taken on September 7, 2018 and QV called at Rapallo on that date.

That's interesting, the date is correct (obviously) but the itinerary at the time showed us calling at Santa Margherita Ligure. We weren't alongside but we definitely tendered into Santa Margherita, not Rapallo. They are very close though.

In the cabin diagonaly above. I don't actually keep a note of HH's cabin numbers (Creepy).

[bluemarble]

I need to correct my itineraries then. The one I was using is from an online website. But the hard copy Cunard brochure I have for 2018 does say Santa Margherita, Italy.

🤣🤣 I'm so glad you clarified that

For a change, this is not a Canadian port. No points for guessing the country.

I think this one is Geiranger, Norway.

[bluemarble]

I don't think we've seen QM2 docked at this port yet, so let's give this one a go.

More clues wanted?

Here is a photo taken when leaving at lunch time.

Dang, if I just hadn't rushed my answer. That photo from Santa Margherita and all the itinerary details are in your "Notes from Queen Victoria to the Mediterranean" thread. Now back to trying to figure out sogne's and carlmm's latest puzzles. I've been working on those for several hours now but making no progress so far.

Indeed. The excursion we took on that replica Viking boat was most interesting. Because it carries only about 10 passengers it is not booked through Cunard but through the tourist office.

We're now past the 24-hour mark since I posted this, so here's another photo taken the same day that should help.
