I'll give it another try.  Skjolden, Norway

Winner.  Not many ships go down Sognefjord all the way to to Skjolden.

How about the exit from Port Everglades?

Well, I guess it is in the regular place. There is an alternate dock a bit downriver as well.  Nice pic.

 

Thanks -- as we were walking up to the Citadel (I'm a history geek and wanted to see the Montcalm and Plains of Abraham and such like), I looked back and realized what a great view it was down to the ship.  The main things that made it a good shot was the terrain, and the glorious fall weather that day.

Did you take the steps (a workout) or the funiculaire to go from the lower to the upper town?

Dave , good eye on Split!  I was going to post a local beer as a hint but you didn’t need it.

 

Now since Copper is so good with Giraffes,  what port is this one at?

We took the funiculaire ..but I nearly ended up on my stern sheets when we walked across the wooden planks outside the hotel -- they were covered with frost.  Luckily, the sun rose higher and a brisk walk warmed us up.

Here is a hint:  most of the people speak their native language, but the official language is French.

Another hint:  Just before the one port call, we had made a call to this tender port.  Both places are Loyal parts of the same political entity.

No bueno! My spouse, who stands all of 4'11" got bowled over at the same spot (just outside the funiculaire upper entrance/exit) by a woman who was not paying attention where she was going. Maria went flying but luckily only some bruising, so all ended up well, like your experience

No, sorry, I just saw the photo op as we got out of the tour bus and headed to the tender pier through the street market.  But, if it helps, here is one of the places we went on the tour.

New Caledonia?

[Copper10-8]

Where is Volendam at? Obviously a tender port

Yes, good enough to declare victory.  The first port is Easo, Ile de Lifou, the second tender port I used as a hint is Tadine, Ile de Mare'.  Both are in the Loyalty Islands, and are off the main island of the French Department de Nouvelle Caledonie.

 

The last hint photo is of the Cliffs of Jokin, a picturesque spot.

Maybe Cabo San Lucas?  Every time we go, there are tons more condos, hotels, etc.
