Also those big cruise lines don't have many if any ships that carry just 1300 passengers. Seems like their smaller ships carry 2,000 plus. -Tom
I was on a ship that stopped in Key West. Nothing like disembarking to any other town along the gulf coast. No local culture, no unique language, nothing special at all. FYI for cruise enthusiasts. This is a completely stupid stop. Just stay on the boat.
Amazing, the number of people on Cruise Critic who think Biden is the fast path to reopen cruising.
Agree. Tried that place on vacation. Worthless.

Yes well everything is politics to some people even if they have everything totally backwards.
I shared a link to the recent announcement of the lifting of the no sail order by the CDC to one of my TDS cruise friends. She desperately wants to begin cruising again, but she used the opportunity to go on a rant about how “the only reason it’s being lifted is because the Florida governor is buddies with Trump and Florida relies on the cruise industry and now they are boarding up stores in Washington DC blah blah blah..” Didn’t make any sense.
For me, one of the drawbacks about cruising was there was always some loudmouth Trump hater at the dinner table who wouldn’t STFU about him. It’s a psychosis.

These folks believe that the only way to defeat the virus is a very strict lockdown. They believe Biden will lock down the nation, impose a mask mandate, and the virus will be gone in a couple of months.

You got to satisfy the squad and the Green New Deal and climate warming pushers, by getting rid of fracking and the oil industry and the Cruise ships that use approx. 50,000 gal per day while underway.
Always in the back of my mind is, if attacked, how do you fight a war with wind mills and solar panels?-Tom
It would be with a very substantial donation to Hunter & Co.
I can’t stand the people who don’t plan on taking a cruise but insist others shouldn’t be able to either. They should just get on with it and move to China or North Korea.
Key West also doesn’t allow ships to stay overnight.
The wife and I were thinking of flying to Florida and renting a car when things might open up next year. Wanted to drive the overseas highway to Key West and take the hour or so tour boat to Dry Tortugas. Anybody done that and recommend it?
“Key West also doesn’t allow ships to stay overnight.”
Most cruise ships don’t stay overnight in any ports.
“Amazing, the number of people on Cruise Critic who think Biden is the fast path to reopen cruising.”
Deluded idiots
“Didn’t know that this was generally prohibited, I thought it was unique.”
Cruise ships transit port-to-port at night. Sight-seeing during the day then back to the ship for dinner and show. A couple of drinks and to bed.
Breakfast then off the ship at another port.
“Wanted to drive the overseas highway to Key West”
I was just in Key West last weekend. Great time just before the election. We saw a trump car parade pass bye us when we were sitting in Capt. Tony’s.
The drive down and back is always a treat. It’s a beautiful drive.
Everything is now open. We were there back in July but very few places were open.
Nothing to see on Key West.

The drive from Miami to Key West is loooong. Give yourself ample time.
Love the drive, this is one of my Islamorada favs
