We did the celebration cruise in June. Really enjoyed the Butterfly conservatory in Key West. Wasn't so impressed with the aquarium (they are a combined tour that cost 40.00). They run you where you need to be in a bus, and the aquarium is walking distance to the boat. They will pass the mile post when taking you there, but they don't stop. Was worth passing, but a postcard would be just as good. We walked up Duval street to Jimmy Buffets Margarittiville and really enjoyed it (though its a bit old and bit run down if you are expecting Disney like facilites). Avoid the shopping (though the Key West Pearl shop had some cheap cruise specials 5-15 dollars and is walking distance to the ship).
We heard great things about the Atlantis, but did not go. We went to the dolphin encouter and had a great time. Friends found a local driver who took them to a beach after helping them find picnic supplies and snorkeling gear. The feeling is a little scarey there as they are all trying to get you in their cabs and to do hair braids etc. The custom agents vouched for the cab driver, and told them not to pay until they got back.
Enjoy your cruise!
