    Could QM2 be undergoing her delayed 20 year refit and inspection instead of a world cruise.
  2. this is certainly a different perspective of a well known port also what was the occasion and where exactly is this location?
  3. I am running out unless I search my old print photos from my working life for ports etc that Cunard have visited. However this year we have at least two new ports on our booked cruises.
  4. not this side of North American continent and the land is not an island
  5. this area of water is maned after an early European explorer working for a country other than that of his birth
  6. if going to Tromso getting a ship or private excursion will give you a better chance of seeing the lights. The locals usually know where to go. \i assume ship is in Tromso overnight.
  7. Dropping pilot I suspect PB Arrow was close 2 QV on AIS
  8. We r on that cruise. U would hope that engineering and emissions technology have advanced since QM2 was built.
  9. Do June 6th lofoten islands and north cape
  10. might have had this port ship is in turning basin before berthing
  11. Eta on AIS given as 0345 11th for Nab pilot
  12. Cunard don't give them either but if you go to Cunard Spanish web site notional arrival and departure times are given. As an aside on Ventura at Gibraltar with a 1400 departure we were 30 min late leaving due to refuelling. Man next to me top deck said he going to complain to purser ref late departure.
  13. Grandeur of the Seas was in as well as shown here.
  14. correct St Kitts this photo was taken at max range so it not exactly brilliant but here goes
  15. much same with us wife was modern language lecturer at nearby FE college and we hosted female Russian students twice just after iron curtain came down. Both were children of doctors and could be consider part of the \Russian elite. Even so they too were amazed at the difference in living standards etc. They both thought that conditions would improve with more freedom etc. We kept in touch for a few years but it came increasingly difficult.
  16. No doubt you be able to suggest an much better solution

    Covid x 2.

    On our QM2 Jan 22 Caribbean cruise we were tested prior to boarding and prior to Lisbon and Barbados and still people caught it. No isolation could lead to a large number infected and although as fully vaxed symptoms will be mild for most there might be someone who could be seriously ill.
