I am pretty sure I have been to this port but everything I have googled so far doesn’t fit. I did wonder whether it was one of the Canary Islands?

I was still working on those. Was hoping for some additional clues to help work them out. In retrospect Ny Alesund certainly makes sense for the landscape. I don't think I would ever have figured out Sarande though. Edited August 30, 2020 by bluemarble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there weren't many ports where ships dock side by side like that. Also those concrete tetrapods to stop coastal erosion must be a clue. It's a maiden Baltic cruise in May/June 2011.

I had to look it up, but that's the name I came up with. Apparently the Köhlbrand is a branch of the Elbe in Hamburg. I think we could use @Germancruiser to check my work, though.

We were there in 2013, a voyage famous for someone having been left behind in a pub in Tallinn. Apparently their wife walked off with their passport & phone in her handbag as she returned to the ship and hubby was left on his own as QE sailed back to Southampton over the course of three sea days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a shot of mine taken at Tallinn, tetrapods and all, from a voyage on another cruise line a few years ago. So close to getting that one if I'd only looked in my own archives! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sogne Posted August 30, 2020 #273 Share Posted August 30, 2020 this should be easy as many of us have probably been there many times as it is one of the frequent ports of call but a work in progress taken 9 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemarble Posted August 30, 2020 #274 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) @sogne I just realized you've been giving clues to the locations of your photos in the attachment file names. I won't give away the location of this last one to let it run its course if someone wants to guess without resulting to checking the file name. I spotted that when I opened your latest attachment in my browser and looked at the URL. But the attachment file names are visible within the posts in the Cruise Critic "Forums" and "Tapatalk" smartphone apps. Best to rename your files before attaching them in the future.
