Two giant cruise ships in port at Mallory Square in Key West
One can only imagine the impact two cruise ships unloading upwards of 2,000 tourist each in Key West has on the economy of this small island. These cruise ships unload tourist in the morning that do not return to the ship until late afternoon. Duval Street in Key West is totally packed with tourist trying their best to sample each bar, each T-shirt shop, each key lime pie shoppe and the myriad of other things being offered. Keep in mind that every tourist leaving the ship is walking through Mallory Square.
Carnival Freedom Cruise Ship moored at Mallory Square in Key West
These large cruise ships unload thousands of tourist on Key West on almost a daily basis. When they are in town business is booming. It turns into a near ghost town when the cruise ships depart. They are indeed the lifeblood of the economy here.
Key West does a good job of keeping Mallory Square clean and neat for the thousands of tourist that pass through the square each day.
Mallory Square is beautifully landscaped with coconut palms and giant crinum lilies.

Carnival Freedom docked at Mallory Square in Key West
