So far I haven't made a guess here without checking an itinerary to back up that guess, but I don't have Caronia itineraries to work with. So here goes. That looks to me like Honfleur, France with the Pont de Normandie in the distance. Edited September 9, 2020 by bluemarble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect, nothing to add. It was 1st December 2003. As you have itineraries of the current ships available: Is it correct that none of them did ever call in Honfleur? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the itineraries I have for the current queens list any calls in Honfleur. And I don't see Honfleur listed in any itineraries for QE2 either. When I first figured out that your photo looked like Honfleur, I was puzzled how a Cunard ship could have been in the shot. Then Lanky Lad helped clear that up by identifying the ship as Caronia. The current queens do call at Le Havre and offer shore excursions to Honfleur from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted September 10, 2020 #543 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Here's my photo contribution for today. At first glance it make look like there's not much to go on here, but no hints from me yet since there are some details in the photo that may prove quite valuable in determining what port this is. To earn full marks this time, name both the port and the specific location of the pier shown in this photo. No points for naming the two cruise ships! Once again I am posting this past midnight my time in the US. Give me until afternoon UK time to get back with feedback on your answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought as well, the windmill and what looks like the Netherlands Antilles courtesy flag on QM2. But that hill is wrong.
