Loggerhead Turtles at the Cayman Turtle Centre

My wife and I recently took a cruise on the Celebrity Constellation. We departed out of the Port of Tampa, which was great for us as we live less than an hour from Tampa. 


Our first port of call was Key West, FL. After a stroll down Duval St., poking our heads in shops and bars, we took a tour of the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservatory.You can see over 1,200 species of butterflies fluttering around your head. Some even land on your back or shoulder! Afterwards, we ate lunch at Two Friends Patio, a great hot spot with delicious food and live music. What a great time! I highly recommend both when visiting Key West. 


Our second port was Grand Cayman Island. While on the island, we visited the Cayman Turtle Centre. Here you can see over 500 loggerhead turtles being cared for until they can be released back into the Caribbean Sea. You can also see sharks and other sea animals, as well as snorkel with some of the turtles.


We had a great time on the Constellation. Along with good food and entertainment, we enjoyed some spa treatments and took a tour of the ship’s food galley with the Head Chef. We also took part in on-board activities like bingo and “Deal or No Deal.” I would strongly suggest making reservations at the ship’s specialty restaurants, especially the Tuscan Grill and the Le Petit Chef (a truly unique dining experience). And take advantage of purchasing a drink package before boarding. Both will make things much easier as you try to take in all that this ship has to offer.
