Key West, Florida
For many, when you mention a trip to Florida the very first thing that comes to mind is Disney World. Well, Mickey's fun park isn't the only game in town. Florida offers fun times in many of its great cities by way of a Carnival Cruise Jacksonville voyage. And Key West is one of them.
Key West rests at the base of the Florida Keys. It offers grand beaches, water the color of a sapphire gem, white-sand beaches, and exciting adventures and entertainment. Meaning “island of bones” in Spanish, this tropical destination is home to several interesting attractions. A notable attraction is Duval Street, which features renowned establishments as “Sloppy Joes” and “Hogs Breath Salon,” and “Capt. Tony's Saloon,” which was once a favorite local stop of Ernest Hemingway.
Ernest Hemingway's home is also a main attraction of Key West. Daily tours tour the Hemingway House. Another great attraction in Key West is the Key West Aquarium. The 50,000 gallon Atlantic shore Exhibit gives you hands-on experiences with aquatic animals such as petting a shark. The Aquarium also has guided tours explaining all the mysteries of the water enclosing the Florida Keys.
