[@KylePalIo]

Episode 3! Key west was beautiful, did some shopping, and partying in this one!

😮😮

you gotta put your ig handle on the bottom of the duck so if someone finds it they will take a pic and tag you

[@divalayden8073]

Sounds Amazing!!! Glad you guys are enjoying 🥰👍❤️🐶💕💝😍🙏🏼🐣

[@Lacostelp]

Of course no one too the duck! It’s impossible to see it’s too tiny

[@khansen3070]

Royal Caribbean used to stop in Key West. The original Mararitaville and the original Sloppy Joe’s are there. Always enjoyed stopping there. Merlyn

[@esantana899]

The drive is def worth it!! The entire florida keys drive is one of the most scenic you can ever take

[@abeamzn1898]

Also they have some of the best beaches in the states.

[@wshazbot62]

Do you have to drive any of those long bridges over the ocean ? Just curious

[@abeamzn1898]

@@wshazbot62 there is the 7 mile bridge from marathon to the next key.

Why no Hemingway house or other sights. You missed the real feel of Key West

[@robinclark2089]

I LOVE KEY WEST!!!! Lived there for 10 years, met my husband there and had our first child there. I cried for 3 years wanting to move back, but it was for the best. Been in Bradenton for 21 years and it's been wonderful. Now I will finish watching this and wish I was there too!!! I was a concierge there at the Hyatt and my husband had a fishing charter boat that he ran out of A & B Marina.

[@maried8323]

The car ride traveling to Key West is one of the best things I've done stopping at all the sites along the way. Key West is so cool walking the neighborhood early morning was absolutely serene and beautiful. The water so refreshing a must do.

[@abeamzn1898]

I thought you would go to Hemingway House or the southernmost spot. Also, you didn't hit any of the local drinking holes. You definitely need to come back to the keys.

[@sandyb.5287]

Love keywest… we stayed 2 blocks off Duvall street at a bed and breakfast for a week.. we parked the car and rode bikes everywhere the week we stayed there. Even the cemetery was cool to go see…on of our best vacations to date …Need to drive down once…. It is a beautiful drive.

[@abeamzn1898]

If there were kiddos on the ship, your duck would be long gone. Adults don't scan the floors looking for stuff they are tall.

[@suziequeue2]

Been to key West 2x…you need to walk to southern most point and get key lime pie. You missed the main drag with all the bars. Key west is a party place …after the cruise ships leave so you need to go for a stay. The drive is beautiful! (Tip: research where you are going👍🏼)

[@mattnzn]

Agree, they literally just went to a tourist trap gift shop. Completely missed the feel of Key West.

[@susan_elizabeth]

Wow! Key West is WONDERFUL! The caged pearl necklace for Casey is absolutely perfect! Good choice! Have fun, you two! Safe travels! 🙏💜

[@abeamzn1898]

To me the road trip from Miami to key west is wonderful. The little restaurants are great, so many fish options. Tons of shrimp for kyle. The beaches have been written up as some of the best in the US and the world. Hope you saw the sunset on the boat..the highlight of Mallory pier is the location for the sunsets!

[@chrisvercillo8936]

I was in Key West this past November on my RC cruise Mother Daughter trip. we loved Key West! We did the Hop on/Hop off trolley which takes you around the "island" and you get to hop off anywhere you want to and then hop back on when you're ready to go to another spot. So convenient and entertaining. The drivers are great and really know their Key West History. We went to Ernest Hemingway's house which was really cool and nostaligic. Did a little shopping too. Then we had conch fritters and key Lime pie at a little food booth. YUMMY. We also had a few drinks at a cute little bar/restaurant called Rams Head Southernmost. Definitely want to go back!

[@abeamzn1898]

Wow, you did a great job of seeing the key!

[@TravelingKristin]

We love the Keys, it is a great Florida getaway. We drive down a few hours (3 hours from US in West Palm area, not bad at all) and onto Island life, immediately everything relaxes. We usually stay on Isalmorada or Marathon more in the mid-Keys and spend 1 day down in Key West. Next time drive down for a long weekend, take the trip to Dry Tortugas (plan several months in advance for sea plane or ferry) and rent your own boat to spend a day at one the many sandbars or a fishing guide. You missed the Hemingway House, Duval Street, the Southern most point, Keys is a party place, you missed so much amazing food and drinks! Driving down you can also visit Everglads and Bay Biscane Natioanl Parks. Come on Kyle, there is more to Florida than Disney and Cruises, really dive in!

[@rhondawilson1206]

Been there....but like 40 years ago. Yeah it's changed a little, and last time we drove there, still remember those bridges!!

[@joesimeao7611]

I’m from NY and 5 years ago I flew to Miami and drove to key west not only was it a beautiful drive but I loved key west I only spent 4 days there and I plan on going back in the near future !!! Safe travels and best wishes 👍👍👍

[@bettisalmieri5877]

You absolutely need to go back for a few days. Duval St at night is rocking!! Don't miss Sloppy Joe's. Also, if you go in late April, the Conch Festival is so crazy!

[@marcl5048]

No key lime pie while in Key West? EPIC FAIL!

[@KylePalIo]

Yah we decided not to

[@christarista1980]

❤️ Key West, especially the chickens roaming around 🐓

[@pattyfazzini]

If you think that plane flew low, check out the planes landing in St. Maarten. They literally fly over the beach. Beautiful pearl necklace. Wear it in health, Casey!

[@ChrisVAug28]

I know I've said it a long while ago before I left KZbin but these cruises KP and others go on with him are the best. Can't wait until the family cruise.

[@Gmariex0726]

Kyle we flew from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale a few years ago rented a car there and drove to keywest I believe it was almost 4 hours and the drive was absolutely beautiful and breath taking highly recommend! I’m more of a flyer myself so being in a car that long I wasn’t thrilled about but being surrounded by the water and the views was just so amazing I would highly recommend doing that!

[@AndrewLengua]

Key West is awesome! My grandparents had a house on Cudjoe Key (MM 23). I used to go down there every year. So much fun.

[@TexasJen68]

Sailing out 1 day earlier that you ..out of Port Canaveral April 9th MSC Meraviglia 11 day repositioning to NYC Carnival Liberty leaves on April 10th.. Casey said April 9th.

[@jennifer7101]

You have not been to the keys if you have not driven. Canadian here been few times..The drive is a good learning experience- see the old Flagler Railway, see the bridges. Beautiful 🤗

[@allenepayne8998]

Being a true Floridan I have been to the Keys. They are beautiful.

[@Eric-zo3mo]

The Harry Truman little house was the former presidents mansion away from Washington DC. JFK used it during The Cuban Crisis & Bay of Pigs and Jimmy Carter peace treaty. Key Lime Pies. The boardwalk is famous for evacuating for hurricanes.

[@shootingstarsphotography174]

What a fun day! Thanks for taking us to see a new PORT! Put a tag on your ducks so people can tag you on insta! Nothing like living the CRUISE Life! So glad we are there with you LOL. How is the motion of the ocean on Virgin? Do you feel the waves? Wendy Lady

[@Joannepuleo]

It is a beautiful ship and yes Key West I love. It just seems so quiet onboard.

[@karaziskie7760]

Loved key west! We did a week vacation there in 2020 and stayed at southernmost resort. We loved every minute of it!! I know you don’t want to drive.. but do it! The drive was absolutely gorgeous going over all the bridges!! Talk about views ❤ we had our 3 kids with us and stopped all along the way, they loved it and still talk about that vacation

[@cass121983]

Wyland is my favorite artist. I did an Art Theory research study on his work and conservation mission. There is or at least was a gallery at Port Canaveral attached to Fish Lips. And Casey’s necklace is gorgeous.

[@elliottmunsie3053]

I was in the Keys when I was younger with my parents and brother. What I remember it was SUPER hot, we got key lime pie on a stick (which melted very fast) and ate some delicious conch fritters! 😊

[@juliej.jewels5776]

Thanks!

[@lorenalee517]

The keys is peaceful until you get to duval street, especially at night time. That’s where all the night life happens. You need to check it out next time you go.

[@jeffsnook1152]

Bro - did you even Key West if you didn’t hit Duvall street for a drink at one of 1000 iconic bars there? 🤔

[@MsClaytown]

Been there at Mallory Square for the sunset celebration 🍾 it was one of my fave trips. Went on St Patrick's day too. We stated on Bahia Honda at their campground. Beautiful 💙

[@dorothydixon3125]

Hey guys, great video! The shop you bought her caged pearl necklace is my son's store! So, thanks for showing that! Have a great cruise!

[@thomaslower5375]

I lived in Key West for over 23 years I wish I was their I would show you guys the whole Island ,,, Enjoy the Island , oh FYI the Wyland Gallery used to be a wonderful big night Club it was so muchFunnnnnnn Thomas from Saint Augustine Florida now !!!! 🛳💜

[@Emma-eu1zp]

Definitely drive, Kyle! You don’t want to miss the scenic drive in US1.

[@Elyse1997]

We were there a few years back. My friend just bought a house in old Town. We might want to go back and visit. It would be cool if you went and explored for a series. It's a bit of a drive from Tampa Bay but worth it,:)

[@Finsup2023]

Love Key West they’re walking ghost tour is awesome and you definitely have to go to Duval Street. Sunset at Mallory Square is something that you have to do at least once then you have Irish Kevins and sloppy Joe’s definitely a destination that you should go to when you’re not on a cruise ship, and if you do go there, you have to go to the southernmost point to see the big bouy and over there they have a great hotel, the southernmost point there’s so much to do I spent five days there just because there’s so much to do

[@michellederemo4409]

Love you guys!!!! Casey you can’t possibly hate rum when you love a mojito 🤣❤️

[@jackieyarbrough4985]

What is the orange flower on Casey’s bag for?

[@lindablair919]

You should drive to the Keys some time. The first time we drove there, I said never again. But the drive is so beautiful, we have driven there 7 or 8 times. I always recommend that you take the hop on hop off tour. Everyone should go to the Hemingway house. It is so interesting and on the bus, they tell so much info about Key West. And Key West is usually packed with people and it is wild there! Your impression was very different.

[@karlkski]

Been to the Key's lots both driving and by cruise ship. Two favorite restaurants, Blue Heaven and Firefly. Try them out when you go back.

[@m.k.5608]

Thanks for sharing too bad you could not go into the heart of the keys likes Sloppy Joes where all the action is and great places downtown like Margaritaville...

[@divalayden8073]

Been just LOVING this series soooooo much!!!! ❤️🙏🏼🥰💕🐶💝

[@epictravellererin]

I've been to Key West several times. You must do the drive at least once. It's a beautiful drive with many great stops along the way. Next time in Key West stop at some of the iconic bars, so much fun.

[@lisagriffith7157]

You have to drive to Key West. Driving over the water is beautiful and it gives you the opportunity to stop at the other keys.

[@Neighborspets]

Have to go on Princess Ruby Alaska cruise July 2 2024. We will be there gonna be a blast

[@Whitecherriesvlogs]

Is it true that they have 24/7 breakfast?

[@stephaniel1981]

19:49 it's a party wide ship. Well how big is a party wide ship?

[@lisamarie161]

Glad you loved the keys! I miss it. It’s such a great time. You should visit again but closer to the evening. Irish Kevin’s is my favorite spot for some great laughs and live music.

[@nhat.nguyen]

Key West was amazing! I went there while on the Celebrity Equinox! Love this place!

[@vickigulley9479]

Do yourself a favor and do a little research. Do the road trip down the keys to Key West, there is a lot to see along the way. Can't believe you were in Key West and didn't go to the Southern Most Point in the US. :) But since you didn't have many days on the ship and you live in Florida - why not enjoy the ship now and enjoy the Keys later? Also Carnival Liberty is one of the older Carnival ships, but you should enjoy depending on your ports. I like the eastern Caribbean itinerary.

[@KylePalIo]

Yah I know about that but I’m with a group :)

[@kellymarroquin541]

Your a good son for thinking of your mom😊

[@Kimberly_Shipley]

Is it a thing about duckies on a cruise or just something you started . Didn’t know so was wondering? I have a jeep wrangler and do duckies with it . And duck people’s other jeep wranglers I like . 😊

[@Danrarbc]

It's a general tradition on cruises. Some lines more than others but yes people bring ducks on and the etiquette is generally don't take more off the ship than you bring. So you find one you can hide it again or a hide a different one.

[@Kimberly_Shipley]

@@Danrarbc that is really cool I didn’t know that . I do enjoy ducking jeeps 😊

[@ginad.7952]

Key West is bomb been 3-4 times. Next times go to the southern point and beach to walk the town simply gorgeous.

[@AnthonyOPrime]

Key West is great. You do need to go back. There was a lot more to Key West. You can rent a golf Cart to explore it more. The road trip to the keys would be worth it. So you can explore all of the Florida Keys... But great blog. Been a lot better and a little longer which is good.

[@marydabulis2269]

Casey hates rum but drinks Mojitos. smh lol

[@PeachesP27]

Loving this refreshing and different cruise vlog series. I was already thinking of booking Virgin!

[@lucillegass4715]

I'm sooo enjoying your cruise vacation! You two always give me something to look forward to! So thankyou!!!

[@elizabethschloth8189]

Love Key West just a completely different vibe than the rest of Florida actually has a fairly young crowd too

[@katiebash8095]

You should definitely take a drive down to Key West some day. A half day cruise stop is not enough! We rented a convertible at MIA and drove the few hours down once… crazy gorgeous views from the bridges. Such a fun time! 10/10 highly recommend!

[@larryinfl80]

You guys should definitely take a road trip down to key west sometime and stay a night, such a fun trip.

[@mariafulton1213]

More than a night

[@blee1499]

I’m really thinking about taking a virgin cruise. Can you tell me is everything included with the cost of the cruise? Of course I’m sure alcohol is not just like other cruises, and up charges for certain restaurants or menu items. I have cruise many times on carnival, and once on Disney.

[@tinafrancis4293]

Looked like you guys where having so much fun, loved the ball & cup game xx

[@mangoman02]

also when you do a trip to the keys for a couple of day, you must do the sunset cruise which is a nice boat right out into the ocean to watch the sunset while drinking margaritas. and all the fun stuff to do is usually on Duval unless it changed

[@JosieJayD]

The keys was so amazing!! I loved eating fried conch and eating key lime pie! So delicious!!!

[@quinntacony9577]

No key lime pie??

[@Joannepuleo]

Doesn't look like much going on there. Only food and drinks. Crazy

[@pamdennis1308]

Hey Casey and Kyle! I'm so jealous. It's so beautiful there and the ship is really nice. You guys are making me want to book my first cruise ever! :)

[@kimbowers4559]

I love Key West but it has changed drastically since my first cruise in the 80s. Need to go back! And it won’t be your last time buying jewelry on a cruise! 😊

[@trevd0g215]

Watching this while I listen to the rain pitter patter on my roof

[@AngieKindergarten]

Best pizza at sea has been on Princess cruise line. (I believe it’s called Alfredo’s pizza), but it is woodfired pizza and it’s amazing. They also have a great apple tart. You do have to wait, but it’s free. I’ve been on 4 cruise lines- so I’ve compared.

[@jr1911]

The Keys are beautiful! I have been there. By car. I was the driver. And I have fear of bridges 😂. Was a lot of fun.

[@amandarufin3672]

You guys need to drive to key west!!! Duval ST is definitely a different vibe with a younger crowd! Lots of bars and would definitely have fun at Ricks!

[@meatiethatsme2471]

This was a fun vlog! I really enjoyed it.

[@dwaynedixon8060]

You did not show the dock house food. The hanger steak the grilled shrimp and octopus are incredible. Some of my favorite things on the ship. Four days really doesn’t give you enough time to experience the ship to its fullest.

[@kimjones7174]

Looks beautiful ! Enjoy your trip . Thanks for taking us along 🥰

[@Chucky5Toes]

You should do a Celebrity Cruise, after the Carnival one. The Edge Class looks super cool!

[@laurencarpenter185]

I live in Key West :) Hope you had a great time you two!!

[@KylePalIo]

It was unreal

[@themisc2421]

@@KylePalIo Walking around for 1 hour and visiting a tourist-trap gift shop before heading back onto the ship was "unreal"? The inside of a store was "unreal"? No Hemmingway house, no southernmost tip of the US, no Duval street, no Mallory Square......just a gift shop and that was "unreal" to you? You really need to expand your world view.

[@quintonthomas1073]

Carnival Liberty is a cool ship been on it 3 times!

[@moniqueleclair2461]

Did you find out what the odd square thing in your room is? I think I’d trip on it.

[@nunyabusiness8668]

You should go back and drive down to Key West and get the full experience instead of a just stop off. What’s your fancy cruise ship?

[@hayleyhull2951]

my mom lives in KW and she drives Greye to and from home a lot and I bought the same necklace you got Casey! I think it’d be kinda funny to take a cruise one day and one of the ports be KW so I can see my mom

[@hayleyhull2951]

Update: my mom sent it to Greye lmao

[@princessoftrivia]

The drive down to Key West is beautiful. Highly recommend you drive 😊

[@themisc2421]

Casey really wanted to, but Kyle whined that he doesn't do road trips. I'm surprised he didn't have a nervous breakdown even with Casey having to drive him 4 hours to Miami for the cruise. I don't think he could make it for the 7 hour drive even with Casey or Lora chauffeuring him around.

[@pdhunt96]

Something to look into for your future Key West trip is Key West Express catamaran. It’s a ferry service from either Fort Myers Beach or Marco Island to Key West. It’s a bucket list item for my wife and I but looks like a fun way to get to Key West without the drive. Enjoy food and drinks on your way. Would love to see your experience and review. Love your videos; keep up the great work. And keep having fun!!!!!

[@toddbenz4840]

We loved our time in Key West. I could go for some stone crab and conch fritters. The Wilderness resort in Wisconsin Dells is pretty dope too!

[@lieselnobles]

did y'all go to the Southernmost point buoy? Did you do the hop on/hop off tram that goes around the island?

[@therealjessiem]

Question is the vibe more the royal:celebrity vibe or more Carnival?

[@DennisHowes-om2oy]

Kyle, is the draft Heiniken included in the Bar Tab?

Yes!
