One thing about cruising with Holland America, you do not have to worry about remembering what day it is--just take a ride in any elevator and the day will be in the rug. We were scheduled to arrive in Key West around 7:00 AM so we got up and went to breakfast. We went through the continental breakfast line and ate fruits, cheese, cold cuts, muesli and some pastries. All were great.We then went out on the deck to watch the shore line as we arrived in Key west. The entrance has a great view and the terminal where we docked also was a beautiful setting. We did not schedule a shore excursion for Key West because we wanted to tour on our own. We walked the streets and visited many of the "gotcha" shops. We bought t-shirts and not much else. We did go to the Truman "White House" in Key West which is now a museum we toured the free section, but, decided to not tour the rest of the house. It wasn't a very impressive building and we could not get a good picture of the building.
Although we were late in the season, there were many flowering plants, trees and vines along the streets which made the walk very enjoyable. Key West wasn't what I expected, but, we were there after the tourist season I suppose. There were no crowds and you could get into any restaurant, shop or museum without waiting.
