These itineraries are designed for minimal time at sea—with some sailings offering zero sea days—stopping first in the colorful enclaves of Key West and then heading offshore to the pristine Bimini in the Bahamas before returning to the Florida coast. During the short cruise, guests can luxuriate in onboard amenities such as sparkling pools, refined dining options, leisurely lounges, rejuvenating spa treatments, and an array of entertainment suited for all ages. **Port Highlights: Key West** Your first stop, Key West, is a vibrant blend of Caribbean charm and historic flair. Guests have a full port day—typically from early morning until mid-afternoon—to wander through Old Town’s pastel-hued streets, visit famed landmarks like Hemingway’s home or the Southernmost Point, indulge in fresh seafood, and savor iconic treats like authentic, tangy key lime pie. The laid-back island vibe, paired with eclectic shops and cultural character, makes Key West a favorite destination to explore at your own pace. **Port Highlights: Bimini** Next on the itinerary is Bimini, a tranquil Bahamian gem known for its unspoiled beaches and excellent marine adventures. Vacationers can take part in activities such as snorkeling vibrant reefs, kayaking pristine coastal waters, or simply lounging on soft sands—perfect for soaking up sun and serenity. Many cruisers also opt for a more down-to-earth experience, heading to the beach at the end of the pier where free access, local food and drink trucks, and clear blue waters offer a casual, refreshing escape. 👋 Let’s Be Friends 👉 Instagram – https://instagram.com/jaredandbritt 👉 TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@jaredandbritt ——————————————————————————— 0:00 Intro 1:48 Breakfast Buffet 2:20 Key West Cruise Port 4:47 Key West City Streets 6:38 Fury Catamaran Excursion 8:26 Kayaking and Paddle boarding 14:58 Key Lime Pie Everything 18:11 Lunch Buffet 20:32 Ship Tour 30:18 Dinner Specialty Dining Music provided by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/0aebew/ As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
