Not sure how much you have cruised, but we have always found good service on Royal Caribbean. As far as the time in Key West, The itinerary shows 11 AM until 7 PM. Unless you had some type of issue and arrive late, this is normal for ships sailing from Tampa. It takes that long to get out of Tampa Bay and then sail to Key West.
