Day 2-Key West
Woke up early in the morning and caught the tail end of the beautiful sunrise. Always wonderful to wake up to the Disney Magic. Christian, who was our cruise director this trip came over the PA to announce that due to an approaching front our time in Key West was going to be cut short and the all aboard time was now 6:00pm instead of 7:30pm. No biggie since in Key West we usually just stroll the shops and have lunch.
Got off the ship and headed to our favorite lunch spot, Bagatelle located on Duval Street.
Had a yummy lunch and then headed out to shop along Duval St. On the way back on the other side we stopped at the Blonde Giraffe for some frozen Key Lime Pie on a stick...a must have on our trips to Key West. After strolling through Mallory Square and a few more shopping stops it was back to the ship for us and to the Quiet Cove Pool for some pooltime.
Around 5:45 that night the wind and rain came up terribly and it looked like a hurricane from our veranda. We didn't get to leave at 6pm due to what sounded like some guests not onboard yet as they were paged 3 times. Finally we left and since we figured with the wind and rain the sea might be a little bumpy we skipped Animators Pallete and tried something new for dinner. We headed up to Topsiders for the Casual Dining. We will definitely do it again next time, had a great dinner, quiet, and we were sat right next to the window looking down at the sea. This became our "Palo" night as we always do Palo but skipped it this time and ended up with a quiet Adult Only meal with a view of the ocean without having to dress up.
After that it was our usual routine, we went to Sessions for a cocktail and some music with Daryl Lockhart on piano before retiring to bed to let the Magic rock us to sleep.
