Key West

An uninhibited playground at the southernmost point of North America. The home of Hemingway is a festive island of colorful bars and equally colorful characters in what may as well be the tropics.

Shipboard

You can join a sing-a-long around the piano in the Speakeasy Lounge or spend some quiet time in Churchill's Library before joining the action. The Gazebo has a garden-like setting just one deck up. Every night at sea, you'll want to catch the lavish Vegas-style revue in the two-level Atlantis Lounge and the late-night cabaret acts at the Terraces in the Grove Lounge.

No longer the Caribbean’s best-kept secret, the island draws increasing numbers of visitors, particularly divers, each year. Your cruise ship also stops in Playa del Carmen, a town of only 6,000 inhabitants located opposite Cozumel on the mainland. This port serves as a starting point for optional excursions to the Mayan ruins of Tulum on the Yucatán peninsula.

 

And of course, there is the food! Wonderfully prepared dishes for every appetite.

In the elegant dining rooms, you’ll find menus filled with fabulous dishes, all included in the price of your cruise. So try anything, and everything — it’s all superb. For your entree, choose delicious lobster or international favorites such as Beef Wellington and Duck à l’Orange. Or order from the healthful Nautica Spa® menu, offering incredible low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-sodium dishes. But afterwards, expect to be tempted with irresistible dessert masterpieces such as Baked Alaska and Cherries Jubilee. Bon appetit!
