I believe that is San Francisco

 

Yes, that is San Francisco. That was a cloudy departure for QE from San Francisco this past July. Here is the full image capture showing the source as the Mersea Restaurant webcam.

Now that we are two pages further along this thread since I last posted the port lists, this may be a good time to post the updated lists. By my count we have now seen 584 different Cunard ports/cruise-bys on this thread. There are still plenty of opportunities to post photos you have of Cunard ports/cruise-bys we haven't seen yet. Also feel free to post photos showing different perspectives on any of the ports we have already seen.

For a change this is one of my own photos, not a webcam capture. It's a different view of a port we've already seen. This isn't quite a Cunard ship and it isn't quite showing the port area itself but I think this scene will be recognizable.

What a scene. If she just had made it.

I venture to say Halifax.

Exactly right. That's a photo of the Titanic model on Griffin's Pond in the Halifax Public Gardens.

this should be easy but not always this peaceful

I'm sure Captain McNaught would recognise it.

Appears to be Lands End Cornwall UK and the lighthouse?  A nice view in, as you say, unusually calm conditions. 

 

One time years ago, Mrs. sfred and I were bushwalking on the coastal trails, and we had three or four alternating sequences of bright sunshine, heavy rain, freezing sleet, and fog.  A wonderful area regardless, and the sleet made the beer even better at the pub afterwards.

The longships been round here when spray was going over the light. Wolf Rock is some 8 or so miles south.

I was close lol

Very good. I'll add the cruise-by destination of Land's End, England to our list of Cunard ports we've seen on this thread.

this might be more difficult a remote island not an official sail by but the captain did say "we will be sailing by XYZ Island at ...."

PS I am certain that no Cunard ship has been there since.

This one is hard.  Using your clue that no Cunard ship has passed by since your voyage, my thought was a location on a QE UK trip after the restart.  But I can't match any terrain shapes, especially with the top of the island in the clouds.  One possibility is Rathlin Island off the coast of Northern Ireland, so I'll try that for a guess?

I wondered whether it was some distant outpost of a world cruise - South America perhaps?
