cruisin'

cruise ship docked at Key West

I am fascinated by the cruise ships going by, one every day last week. And this is the off season, in November and December there will be sometimes 3 a day here, a popular stop for those travelers to spend a day in Key West.

Most of them leave out by 2 or 3 in the afternoon. One last week stayed until 6 p.m. so we went down after work for a closer view. The size is awesome, as was watching them maneuver away from the dock.

We used to go cruisin' from the Tastee Freeze to the Fountain in Blue Ridge back in our younger days, but this is a whole different level of cruisin'!


The calendars for the arrival of various cruise ships are HERE.
