Our Approach
Key West, Florida
Key West, a U.S. island city, is part of the Florida Keys archipelago. It's also Florida's southernmost point, lying roughly 90 miles north of Cuba.
Famed for its pastel-hued, conch-style houses, it's a cruise-ship stop also accessible from the mainland via the Overseas Highway. It's known more for its coral reefs - destinations for diving and snorkeling - than for its beaches.

Think about adding 1 or 2 Days in Tampa
You would rather commence your cruise stress-free.
Imagine the feeling of missing a train or a flight let alone your seven-day cruise vacation. Even if you don't hit traffic, flight delays or a plague of other travel complications, watching the clock until you step foot on the gangway is not a relaxing way to kick off your trip.
Don't start your cruise panicking about missing the ship when your flight is delayed or canceled. If you're flying, arrange to arrive in your port city one or two evenings before, and start your vacation with a nice dinner and leisurely breakfast before heading to the terminal. In general, leave plenty of wiggle room in your itinerary.
Even Cruise Critic members in the airline industry have weighed in. "As a former flight attendant for 22 years, I can't count how many times I saw passengers miss cruise ships on embarkation day!" commented Lynn. Well worth the expense of arriving a day early and seeing a bit of the port city.
If you leave home with exactly enough time to get to the port for the tail end of embarkation, you're asking for trouble.
