I have less than zero desire to tour a military base (which is hardly what I would call an “attractive neighborhood” based on the ones I’ve been forced to see.) I used to feel that way until we docked at the Navy Mole pier in January on Edge. The shuttle was efficient - as noted, right from the foot of the gangway into the heart of town. Return shuttle like clockwork. Preferred it to the previous Key West cruise we were on, with a fairly long, hot walk with no shade from the ship to get into the same area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edknn Posted October 27, 2019 #27 Share Posted October 27, 2019 We were the on Oct 13 and docked right at the pier in town. Do yourself a favor and rent a golf cart to tour the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relax; you don't really go through much of a base, and it's a short ride. On 10/20/2019 at 7:10 PM, WrittenOnYourHeart said: So yeah, I’m a little bummed. Will I get over it? Yes. It is a bump in planning but the cruise will still be great I am sure. (I have seen people on here fuss about things I consider far more minor too - it is all in perspective and stuff.) Really, it's so short I'd hardly consider it a bump in planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix_dream Posted October 28, 2019 #29 Share Posted October 28, 2019 IMHO the shuttle into town is so much of a minor inconvenience it is hardly worth mentioning, and certainly nothing to get concerned about. It runs regularly, it is a short and pleasant ride, and it is easy to use for the return. I also prefer to walk off, but this is such a minor thing it is hardly worth mentioning, let alone thinking about for any length of time. My opinion - from someone who has done both walk-off and shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
