In summary, from my memory of those, these included: Making a lot of accessibility improvements to doors, locations of loungers in spa, etc Adding paper towel dispensers to public bathrooms New lido tables and chairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you basing that off of published itinerary? She was not scheduled for Key West according to Caribe Nautical. Caribe Nautical is the ships' agent for the port of Key West. If a ship is not on their schedule, they are not going to Key West. I've had a cruise scheduled for Key West that I knew from that schedule was not going at least three months out, even though the change was not announced to passengers until a week out. The 2 city controlled berths have basically stopped accepting ships (might be taking an extremely low passenger count ship occasionally), so the only berth available is the privately controlled pier B.

Please tell me that cloth towels are still placed in those restrooms. ~Nancy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greensprout Posted June 24 #14 Share Posted June 24 In May, the little hand towels were available and then the paper towel station beside the door with a trash can below for opening the restroom door. From what I recall pre covid this was the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
