OCVTSGIRL Posted December 7, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2018 My husband just read that a cruise ship crashed into a mooring dolphin at Mallory Square in Key West and that the pier will be closed for a few months. We are on the Brilliance in February and one of our stops is Key West. Does anybody know if RCCL docks at Mallory Square or somewhere else? If they dock at Mallory Square, are they able to use another pier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 7, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2018 They can always use the Navy pier. If so, there will be a free shuttle to/from downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted December 7, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I believe your sailing in Feb is docking at Pier B according the the cruise ship port schedule. The pier that got damaged is right at Mallory Square. We are on the Brilliance in March and I checked and she is docking at the Outer Mole which is the Navy pier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a long time since we have been to Key West and we had no idea where it docked. We are looking forward to it and it is the reason we booked this ship and itinerary.

EatonDoolittle Posted December 8, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2018 There is a video of the accident over on the Key West board . You can see 2 ships at Mallory Square, and further in the background you can see a ship at Pier B. It’s not that far, easily walkable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the 2 piers at Mallory square are pier M for small ships that is damaged and pier B for larger ships that is ok. The pier further in the back is pier OM in the Navy area. The only Royal ship affected by the damage is Empress and it will become an issue only on days with three ships in port. This will apply two times in January.

fla gang Posted December 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I was on the Brilliance leaving key west the same day that the Silver Seas ship hit the dock. A cold front was coming through and it was extremely windy. We were docked at the Navy mole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the Celebrity Edge was at pier B yesterday. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
