We arrived in Key West at about 6:30am and due to the need to go through passport control each passenger had to show their passport and or identification along with their sea pass card to U.S. Immigration officials. The lines were very long however and some of the passengers were very irate about the long lines. I however felt that the crew did the best they could based on the fact that only a few officers were there to check thousands of passenger’s documents. We were all able to disembark the ship by 9:00am.

It was a beautiful day in Key West and I headed down Duvall St. to the Starbucks in hopes that I could get wireless service on my laptop through Team Mobile Hot Spot. However the Starbucks did not offer the service. The manager there told me that just behind at the La Conch Hotel one could access their service in the lobby. The La Conch which is a Crowne Plaza property is beautiful hotel and I was able to work for several hours there with no cost to me at all which was quite a find.

Some of us met up at Sloppy Joe’s which is a famous watering hole in Key West for lunch and then we headed back to the ship. We had to be on board by 2:00pm for a 3:00pm departure for Cozumel our next port of call.
