Key West stop during Fantasy Fest

[hrt4girls]

I just realized that our cruise on Norwegian Sky in October will stop at Key West during Fantasy Fest.  I had to look it up to see what it was all about.  So now that I know it has lots of people in costumes or body paint in place of costumes, I have a few questions for anyone who has been there during the Festival.  Our ship is there from 7am to 2pm.  I would expect that some of the party people will be sleeping off the fun from the night before.   We will probably not be bringing along costumes.  If we go ashore to do the normal tourist things like take a tour on the Conch Train  and stand in line for the Southernmost Point will we be out of place?  The schedule of events for the Festival has things listed for later in the day and nothing at all in the morning.  We don't have any problem with the party goers, but we probably will not be dressed (or not dressed) like them.  Just looking for advice about what to expect.  This sounds like a fun adventure.

There won't be a lot of Fantasy Fest festivities going on between 7 am and 2 pm.  Just dress regularly.

You will be fine doing all the normal tourist activities at that time.

My son's wedding was in Key West during Fantasy Fest. You probably will not see many of the costumed activities before your ship leaves. That time of year can still be quite hot too. You'll be fine wearing regular street clothes for your tours and shopping.
