Kitschy Key West Port Review

Although my husband and I have been Floridians for over two decades and our son is born and bred in our sunny state, we had surprisingly never been to Key West before our cruise there on the Carnival Fascination. We elected to do the traditional Key West Trolley tour, which we bought when we got off the ship. We ended up paying cash to a tour operator right at the port for $25 per person. This hop on/hop off tour was so much fun and it took us to all the iconic Key West places-including the Southernmost Point of the United States, as well as the lighthouse, the beach, the Little White House and downtown to get yummy key lime pie at Kermit's! Admission to the various museums, such as The Hemingway House was not included, although you could easily veer off and visit any place at length as long as you have enough time to get back to your cruise ship before they leave. Food was offered for purchase, and besides the famous key lime pie we tried fresh conch fritters from an outdoor food stand, which were excellent. This is a perfect tour for all aged tourists, and it is especially nice to not have to walk in the heat to all of the popular destinations. Our window of time on the island was about 5 hours, which was rather short so we did not get to spend oodles of time in any of the museums. We are excited to visit Key West again in March of 2017 when we go on the Norwegian Pearl! Have you cruised to Key West? If so did you do a city tour or another fun excursion? :)

 I have started reading a great cozy mystery series which takes place in Key West- here is the link to my Amazon Store with these books if you want to read some entertaining and fun mysteries to get you in the spirit of Key West! :)
