This is the 2nd part of my Day 3 - Key West, Florida, Review.   For Part 1 of The Day 3 Review:  Click Here

           After lunch it began to rain again.  The rain was very light and not as bad as earlier in the day.  I walked outside to take a look at Key West and the Carnival Ecstasy, which was about to depart from Key West.

Carnival Ecstasy Departure:
        I went outside, despite the sprinkling rain, to take a look at the Carnival Ecstasy as it departs from Key West. I watched the ship turn around and then leave Key West.  The ship was currently on a 4 day cruise and was going to arrive in Cozumel, Mexico, the next day. Here are some pictures I took of the ship's departure:

Walking Around The Outside Decks Prior to Departure:
         Once the rain stopped, I walked around the outside decks of the ship to look at Key West.  It was too late to get back off, but I was still able to get some pictures of Key West from the ship.

Departure From Key West, Florida:
           The ship was scheduled to depart at 4:00pm.  Around 4:00pm the ship started moving and I hurried to the back of Deck 5 to try to get a good view for sail-a-way from Key West.

Dinner in the Crimson Dining Room:
        Tonight the dinner line was a little shorter than Day 2, but there were still many people that got in line about 30 minutes prior to the dining room opening. We had the same wait staff as the night before and sat at the same table.  The dining room food and service was very good again tonight.

Stateroom Nightly Turn-down:
      During the evening today, I saw who my stateroom steward was.  The steward said hello and called me by another person in my cabin's name. I corrected him, but he continued to call me the wrong name the rest of the cruise (the few times I saw him).  This time would have been the perfect time for the steward to introduce himself, but he never did.  This didn't upset me, but I have always had stateroom stewards that introduce who they are on the first day of the cruise.
      Tonight the room was clean, a new towel animal was left, and a copy of the next day's activity newsletter.

        The front area of the Lanai on Deck 5 was closed because of high winds.  Instead of walking around the Lanai I went up to Deck 10, 11, and 12 to take a look around.  Here are some pictures I took during my walk around:
