Key West Votes to Keep Large Cruise Ships Out

The new restrictions wouldn’t completely eliminate cruise traffic to the island. Major cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, and Disney Cruise Line don’t operate ships small enough to pull into Key West, under the new regulations. But boutique cruise operators like Oceania Cruises, Crystal Cruises, and Germany’s Hapag-Lloyd Cruises wouldn’t be affected as their ships carry fewer than 1,300 passengers each.
