If Joe Biden and the Green New Deal people take over the Govt., the big cruise lines like CARNIVAL, ROYAL, NORWEGIAN and MSC, can expect more regulations and restrictions on the 50,000 gals /day fossil fuel guzzling cruise ships.

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.

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?

Limit the number of daily cruise ship visitors at 1,500....Prohibit cruise ships with 1,300 passengers or more from docking

Their choice but I believe that eliminates all of the big lines. Hope the city didn't issue bonds to finance port facilities.
