Can’t Call At Cuba? Some Cruises Stopping At Key West Instead

Empress of the Seas calls on Key WestThe recent U.S. ban on cruise ships traveling to Cuba has had a ripple effect on South Florida’s cruise industry. Yet not all of it is bad news. In fact, it’s bringing more attention to the southernmost port of call for these big ships in the continental U.S. About 300 cruise ships a year stop in Key West. More than 860,000 people reached the island that way last year, spending 6 to 8 hours taking tours and shopping. (wlrn.org)
