'This is a historic opportunity for Key West to have this voice in how we handle the cruise ship traffic here in Key West,' Evan Haskell, an organizer with The Key West Committee for Safer, Cleaner Ships, told the Miami Herald.
The committee gathered the signatures necessary to get the questions on to Tuesday's ballot and cited the role of cruise ships in spreading coronavirus as one of its concerns.
U.S. cruise ships have been mostly docked for months to help curb the spread of COVID-19 around the world.
Key West has long been a popular cruise destination, drawing more than one million passengers in 2019 alone — about half of the total number of tourists who visited that year.
The new restrictions wouldn't completely eliminate cruise traffic to the island. Major cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Norwegian, and Disney Cruise Line don't operate ships small enough to pull into Key West, under the new regulations. But boutique cruise operators like Oceania Cruises, Crystal Cruises, and Germany's Hapag-Lloyd Cruises wouldn't be affected as their ships carry fewer than 1,300 passengers each.
