It includes Key West Bight, Garrison Bight at City Marina, as well as three docks that could be utilized by cruise ships. In 2020, Key West voters approved three amendments to the City Charter which prohibit large cruise ships, limit daily disembarkations, and prioritize cruise ships with superior public health and environmental records. The amendments, sponsored by the Key West Committee for Safer, Cleaner Ships, passed with 61% to 81% approval.[7] However, the following year, the state legislature overturned the amendments.[8] In 2022, the city decided to instead prohibit ships from docking at the two piers the city controls.[9] Meanwhile, Pier B is planned to undergo an expansion renovation to service bigger ships, which would first have to be approved by the state.[10] In March 2024, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis approved the renovation for Pier B, which would expand the lease area by about 50 feet in width and about 40 feet in length. In addition, approval was given for a new long-term lease of 25 years. *Wikipedia @Carnival @RoyalCaribbean @celebritycruises @msccruises @princesscruises ​⁠​⁠ #royalcaribbean #cruise #cruiseship #cruisenews #iconoftheseas #symphonyoftheseas #oasisoftheseas #allureoftheseas #harmonyoftheseas #wonderoftheseas #navigatoroftheseas #exploreroftheseas #adventureoftheseas #independenceoftheseas If you enjoyed this video and want to support me in making more of them … please feel free to Buy Me (or Jayne) A Coffee!
