My then-fiance and I did a sunset dinner cruise in Key West about 3 years ago. It was fun and we enjoyed it. A few interesting tidbits about our particular sunset cruise:

- we saw Portugese Man-of-Wars all over the place... they look like soap bubbles on top of the water!
- the night we did the sunset dinner cruise, there was an all-gay cruise ship (NCL I think) that had docked so we were almost the only straight couple on this particular one. I still laugh when I think of my guy getting checked out in such an obvious manner.
- my parents took my then-two year old daughter into Old Key West while we cruised. There was a drag parade going on on the time. lol
- food was good but there weren't any tables to sit at... had to balance your food in your lap.

Hope you enjoy!

meandmad ????
did you go to Key West in October??? Right before Halloween I think..
There is a HUGE Week Long ( i believe) "gay" celebration
My brother and his girlfriend lived in Key West for a while and when they moved they go back every October they can for this...

Key West sunsets are awesome from whereever you watch it - Hi this is Shirley and my hubby Norm and I are from there so we went to bed with the sunsets and got up with the sunrises - Unfortunalty there is a lot you will see down In Key West and October is the month for Fantasy Fest - I haven't gone for awhile, but Key West is a place for adults to have fun -
anyhow I have a bunch of information on Key West and anyone is welcomed to it by dropping me a note at snelsonbrown@aol.com.
Take care and stay warm
Always
Shirley

pfishgirl -- we've only been in January. My parents like to rent a house down there for a couple of months to escape these "harsh Georgia winters" (hee hee). I've heard of that October party -- what a hoot it must be. I think they had this particular parade in January just for this particular cruise.

Off the topic, the last house my parents rented in Marathon was wonderful. It is on a sea wall (which means no gradual entrance into the water -- immediate 10 feet down). At night we'd put out spotlights... one night we stopped counting after shark #25!!!

meandmad-- My Brother and His Girlfriend LOVE it for their parties/parades.
They both use to work for Looker Diving Center and another one I forget. My brother was a Captain and a Scuba Diving Instructor. They moved last year to Big Bear Lake CA..

I haven't been to KeyWest since my son was maybe 4 he is 14 now. When we go on our cruise in Jan 06, I am happily awaiting a return trip Yet sad at the same time because my brother will no longer be there..
