We have a winner. Yes indeed, that's from last year's call at Corner Brook on July, 24th when you were on board with us.

There's not a lot to go on here @Ray66 any clues ?

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?

no one seems to know my other 2 photos they are Ny Alesund Svalbard and Sarande Albania

Sorry I was going to guess Sarande for the change of itinerary one but I was letting someone else have a go (honest !)

Oh, darn. 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.

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.

Thanks, I'm guessing Tallinn

I'm very glad you said that before I suggested Katakolon.

Correct 🙂

[Host Hattie]

Is it time for some new photos ? Don't forget about the dog breed.

[Host Hattie]

This is probably too easy

[exlondoner]

The bridge looks like Cadiz?

I'm going with Hamburg, Germany. That looks like the view toward the Steinwerder Cruise Center from near the Blohm+Voss shipyards.

Good point.

I think that bridge is the Köhlbrandbrücke. 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.

Well I was right about having been there - just wildly wrong geographically! 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.

Divorce?

How about this photograph taken late one evening?

I have no idea but according to a report in the press, the couple were eventually reunited back home.  However, it’s a good question - I wonder who was the angriest of the two?!

Ah, I had assumed it was deliberate.

Now I feel the fool. 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!

Correct, Queen Victoria almost hiding in Hamburg

[sogne]

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

@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.

Never thought that you could get those details. But it gives the port name
