Sonoma fans Posted February 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Does anyone know why the Equinox was docked at the unfavorable outer mole (OM)pier vice Pier B that they usually dock at closer to Mallory square in Key West this AM. The Oosterdam was docking at Pier B. Curious as we will be on this itinerary in 2 weeks. We will be only ship in Key West so hoping we will be at Pier B.

d9704011 Posted February 24, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We were in KW on the EDGE in January and docked at the OM; were told due to some ongoing repairs to the ‘Mallory Square’ pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbfb Posted February 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2019 We will also be on this ship in 2 weeks! This is our first time in Key West so I’m interested in the difference between the piers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d9704011 Posted February 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Really, it’s no big deal. They’ll bring the sightseeing touist ‘trains’ by to transport pax into town and back. A little less convenient than walking off directly into Mallory Square but you do get a bit of a free sightseeing tour as compensation! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoma fans Posted February 24, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted February 24, 2019 It matters for those of us that are handicapped and can not get on the transport “trains”. I understand for most not a big deal. No worries, we just make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Key West Cruise ship calendar shows that Oosterdam should have been at the Outer Mole and Equinox at B. In two weeks, when DH and I will join you on your cruise, the calendar shows Equinox is the only ship and should dock at B. I hope so; docking at the Outer Mole isn't the end of the world, but it's certainly less convenient, especially for people trying to meet up with private tour guides.

Sonoma fans Posted February 24, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I saw that as well. Being the only ship in port we should be fine. Looking forward to some sunshine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me how many ships will be in Key West on March 24 and where the equinox will be docked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schedule shows you at B with the Norweigan Sky at the OM. https://www.cityofkeywest-fl.gov/egov/documents/1547135167_57462.htm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipomoeagirl@gmail.com Posted February 24, 2019 #10 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I believe part of Mallory Square is still being repaired from the damage done back in late November. The Silversea Silver Spirit made contact with several pilings during high winds. At the time, repair work was estimated to take approximately 3 months.

We were on Edge February 4th in Key West and docked Mallory Square. They were working on the pier, but it did not interfere with access from the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are technically two different docks. https://www.cityofkeywest-fl.gov/egov/apps/services/index.egov?view=detail;id=86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about 2 minutes to walk to Mallory Square once we got off the ship so I figured it was Mallory Square. Sorry for the error. First time in KW on a cruise. They were doing some work there building a wooden cover over the walkway from the ship to the Little shopping area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
