Where in the world ?

We are on lockdown but no it is not far, we did have a few in Bournemouth bay, at the moment  Allure ,  Anthem ,Jewel and Aurora.    Due to the high winds we did have a rig docked in Poole, on route to the west coast to work on the wind farms.

@Host Hattie, was that photo taken July 16th last year as you were leaving the ship and we were continuing on back to New York?

[bluemarble]

Here's my contribution for today. This one probably also qualifies as too easy, but we haven't done this port yet.

You're both right

[Redrobo]

That looks like Southhampton .

Correct. That's the view to the Ocean Terminal in Southampton from the Red Funnel Ferry with Town Quay in the foreground.

Love it. I can see why my last photo wasn't much of a challenge.

[DaisyDancer]

The first one is probably far too easy. Hopefully the second photo will be more challenging - there is a ship there in the distance!

[bluemarble]

I think Host Hattie started something good. Just noticed this in my browser a few minutes ago. Have we ever had a "HOT!" topic in the Cunard forum before? I don't recall seeing one.

Well, I haven't seen this place used so I'll give it a try:

I’m enjoying this thread but my guessing has been woeful so far! Here are a few from me to test you - or not as the case may be!!

Is Kynance's last photo in Cartagena? I have similar photos from November 2018.

I think it might be, I was going to post a similar one but I thought it was too difficult 😂

[naturelovergirl]

Ok! I have one!

Correct, taken from my room in the Leonardo Royal Southampton early in the morning before boarding the QV.

[Host Hattie]

We've moved onto advanced level cruise port spotting here, I'm going to need a clue for some of these !

[Host Hattie]

OK, Cagliari for this one

[DaisyDancer]

 

HH, here's a clue for this one. It was an unscheduled stopover due to very rough seas in early 2018. The ship in the distance is the QV.

That clue helped a lot. That's Praia da Vittoria in the Azores.

[naturelovergirl]

I’ll give a clue for mine.

 

I’m in a small but unique botanical garden above the Arctic Circle.

QE in the distance.

 

 

[Host Hattie]

Thanks for the help ! I'm going to guess Tromso in Norway

It is. Both the QV and QE diverted to the Azores to escape horrendous weather after being unable to reach Bermuda.

[naturelovergirl]

Correct!

When you dock in Tromsø, you are out of town... so you need to take transportation into Tromsø by shuttles or excursions.

We took a morning excursion to Sommarøy Island, but we had time after we came back to the ship.

So we walked to the sweet little Arctic Botanical Garden near the docks.
It was a great day!
