Thanks for the nice comments.

I was able to have lunch at El Meson de Pepe (Cuban restaurant)

This is the inside area . . .

Another view of the Key West Aquarium

I like the way Grandeur looks in the marina. . .

It’s time to head back home for 3 more nights

Radio, Was the ship cold when in Baltimore? Is there heat in the cabins and public areas? We were cold the first and last days on the Pride.

The ship was warm on the inside, but very cold outside. . .

I am really, really enjoying this thread! We sail at the end of May and time is just dragging by! Your reviews and pictures help the time go by faster. :) Thank you!

Thanks for the continued great review, Mark. I loved Key West when I visited last March and I ate lunch at the same Cuban restaurant. Have you been to Truman's "Little White House"? It has a great 50's feel.

Have a safe trip home -- hope it is not too wild! Katherine

Any word from Capt. Trond concerning arrival in Baltimore? If reports are anywhere near accurate, you may slow down a bit to arrive just after the Blizzard. It's too earlier to predict anything accurately, as conditions will be changing by the hour. And the seas will not be kind.

Best wishes.

Loved your Key West pics. We did 2 land trips there and one stop on a cruise. My boys love the cats at the Hemingway House. You got me thinking of planning another land trip there. Great little town. Safe travels home. I live near the MD line and we are forecasted to get 12-16 inches but supposed to be worse down your way.

Love the review. We will be on her for the December Christmas cruise. Do they have plenty of activities for those cold sea days?

Hello my dear friend!! :D

Loving the pictures and review. I'll be on Rhapsody in September, so it's nice to see a similar ship.

Geez. Let's let Radio enjoy his vacation. :D

Yes. I know I wouldn't want to be thinking about a blizzard!

Virtopia · January 22, 2016

Geez. Let's let Radio enjoy his vacation. :D

I was thinking the same thing, LOL! Safe travels but he has a couple warm days left.

JamesEM · January 22, 2016

It was great that you were able to dock downtown, next time your are in Key West I would suggest a visit to the Butterfly Conservatory at the end of Duval Street.

Radio · January 22, 2016

Hello everyone. It appears that we are going to Miami. . . for reasons unknown. We picked up the pilot at about 2:30 AM.

Hmm. . . I am thinking we may spend the day here? And come home on Monday?

Hmmm . . . Maybe RCI is concerned that the 150+ shoreside help will not make it to the Baltimore pier on Monday morning?

Details to follow. . .

Radio enjoying your review - also on ship - thinking if it was just an ill passenger we would not have to go all the way into port. The weather is great here in Miami though, isn't it.

LMKakaThing2 · January 22, 2016

Looks like we're dropping of an ill passenger. Prayers to the passenger and I hope they make a speedy recovery.

Yes it appears that a sick passenger is being taken ashore. . . My hopes and prayers are with them and their family . . .
