techteach Posted October 24, 2022 #4227 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Yeah @Lanky Lad! It is Halifax taken from a Holland America ship berthed directly in front of QM2. My husband immediately went online and read about her and announced we would cruise on her some day. Love Halifax! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is Firth of Lorn the only official Cunard cruise-by and the lighhouse does not count as such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is Firth of Lorn the only official Cunard cruise-by and the lighhouse does not count as such? I'm was planning on only adding Firth of Lorn, Scotland to our seen ports list. I figure both photos are showing different views of that firth. That does have me considering retroactively adding another "firth" photo to our seen ports list. I'm thinking in particular about @exlondoner's photo showing Cunard's Queen Elizabeth and HMS Queen Elizabeth in Moray Firth. At the time we counted that as being the port of Invergordon. But since that photo is actually showing us Moray Firth, I'm inclined to also add Moray Firth, Scotland as another cruise-by firth to our list of seen ports.

That's Liverpool, based on the lamppost, and the signpost showing arrows for William Jessop Way, Princes Square, and Princes Parade. But I can't quite find the precise location of the photo.

sfred Posted October 25, 2022 #4232 Share Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Ah, I found the signpost. Looks like it is on Princes Parade between the Landing Stage Terminal and Liverpool Waters? Google street view shows the hedge, the signpost, the Road Closed Ahead / Diversion sign, and the lamp post. I'll guess your photo was taken prior to 2018? The lamp posts look to have changed shape from a double lamp like in your photo to a single lamp on street view images.

We've seen ports on either side but haven't counted this "strait" itself. I think we are seeing the Strait of Gibraltar, Spain. I'm counting this as Spain since we are looking at the Spanish coast in this view. My research tells me the lighthouse is the Punta de Tarifa Lighthouse. The lighthouse's location is also variously named Punta Marroquí and Isla de Las Palomas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemarble Posted October 26, 2022 #4237 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Here's another view of a port we've already seen. This is one of my photos that I hope is a challenge without being totally inscrutable. That's not the ship we were sailing on at the time by the way.

The photo is from our Viking Orion Mexican Riviera cruise last December. I suppose that other ship's current itineraries offered a pretty good clue if the photo's other features didn't on their own. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 26, 2022 #4241 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Hmmm…I’m puzzled that she was on the west coast last December, as usually she sails from Tampa.

sfred Posted October 27, 2022 #4242 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Here is a new cruise-by, courtesy of another Cruise Critic participant, @photosg. They have very kindly given me permission to contribute the photo here in our Where in the World game. (Thanks!!) Apparently it had become dark by the time the Cunard ship arrived at the exact cruise-by location in the itinerary, so this was as close as they got while it was still daylight.

It was an unseen cruise-by on our list, and an itinerary location for QV's recent Norway fjords voyage. @photosg was aboard, and has contributed many great photos of their experiences in a separate thread here on Cruise Critic. Romsdalsfjord is port/cruise-by number 597 (we're getting close to 600!), and number 37 for Norway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
