Cruise destination Key West profile; Photos and video of Disney Wonder

This week we have added a new cruise destination profile about Key West, Florida.

When it came time to enter a link for this new profile on our cruise destination index page, I had to pause. Key West is often a port of call on Bahamas cruises but since it isn't in the Bahamas, it does not really fit under that heading. Key West is also a port of call on Caribbean cruises. But it isn't in the Caribbean either. Eventually, I put it under the heading “Eastern U.S.”, which is geographically correct but not entirely satisfactory because Key West is quite different than New York City, which is also under that heading.

All of this just points out that Key West is unique. It is an American city but it is on an island like those in the Bahamas and the Caribbean connected to the mainland by a series of bridges. It is unmistakeably American in character but blended with a relaxed unhurried tropical feel.

As a result, Key West is an attractive cruise port. You can relax, have something to eat and/or drink, shop or go to historic sites such as Ernest Hemingway's home or Harry Truman's winter White House. And it is all close to where the cruise ships dock.

Our multi-page profile of Key west includes information about the port, getting around and things to see. In addition, it has links to other websites with information about Key West. It all begins at http://www.beyondships3.com/key-west-cruise-destination.html

Also this week, we are introducing mini-profiles. We now have full profiles of more than 100 cruise ships on Beyondships. The mini-profiles will provide webpages for ships that we have not yet profiled but about which we have photos, video and other information.

We are beginning with the Disney Cruise Line ships, starting with Disney Wonder. http://www.beyondships2.com/disney-wonder.html
