Creator's Key Takeaways

We spent the day in Key West and it was awesome.

We had lunch at a cool little local spot with some amazing key lime pie.

Then we visited the butterfly conservatory and explored a bit more around town.

Back on the ship, we enjoyed live music, dinner in the dining room, and caught an awesome show.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring cash for the casino, as you cannot use your card unless you get a player's card at the service desk after 6 p.m.
Buy butterfly conservatory tickets online ahead of time to save $2.
