That would be the birthplace of HAL, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, while passing the hotel ship SS Rotterdam V at her permanent berth at the Maashaven 

Copper John, I knew you would know this!

Yes.  I really enjoyed touring her, even tho I only was able to cruise aboard her once after she was the Rembrandt.

Well, I've only been to a few, so am just guessing here -- Geirangerfjord?

Winner!  When you first go there, you wonder why the pier is so darn long.  Then you walk it to the shore, and see all the rocks.  Oh.

Seward, Alaska  It's a really nice town in a beautiful setting.  We have camped right on the waterfront, and watched the ships sail in and out of Resurrection Bay.  Good place to watch eagles and sea otters.

 

I see St. Louis Cruiser posted while I was trying to spell Resurrection Bay correctly.

We sailed there once on the Maasdam. I'm going to say it now, we will miss the Maasdam. It holds many memories for us. Honeymoon included

Makes two of us! The first ship I ever worked on; they say you never forget your first. Went to Rio de Janeiro and back, up and down the Amazon to Manaus, on the Voyage of the Vikings to Amsterdam, to various ports in the Carib and to the Canada/New England ports out of Boston, Mass. She always came through! Great memories of a fine ship!
