Key West

Does any RCCL ship stop in Key West?

Set cruise line to Royal Caribbean.

Not as many as they used to

Celebrity ships also stop there.

Not like they used to prior to the pandemic.  It has been a slow ramp up since then as the local government passed a referendum in 2020 limiting the number of passengers that could visit there by cruise ships to 1,500 on a daily basis. For a while after the restart very few, if any, ships visited there.  This has eased somewhat over the years but remains controversial as the local residents want to keep the limitations in place.

I can understand not wanting to be inundated with day visitors if you live there, Charleston has had to deal with similar concerns with much fewer ships. We have been fortunate to have 3 stops there on cruises. At least two of them on the lovely Enchantment of the Seas. For the most part a nice day, especially the day we rented bicycles. With that, I'll never forget the stop when Swine Flu hysteria was sweeping the country. Our first stop on a cruise was Key West, we were in a local shop and the clerk followed us around with Lysol spray!!! I walked around the store just to annoy her. Not my most shining moment. Because of the Swine Flu problem the ship did not go to Cozumel, our next planned stop.

I follow vloggers that do RCCL and they have stopped multiple times, but our recent HAL and Carnival Key West stops were both re-routed elsewhere. Just be forewarned, even though it's on the itinerary, you may not stop there.

I was there in mid-April on the Celebrity Silhouette, out of Fort Lauderdale.

Is something going on? We stopped there on Grandier the end of April.

I book our cruises for the itinerary we like, not the cruise line.

Enchantment is scheduled to stop there on our August cruise.
