I thought Key West didn't allow ships to stay past sunset.

Interesting vessel at the inboard Navy Pier/Outer Mole in Key West today. She is the U.S.-flagged m/v Hos Mystique, an offshore supply vessel based out of New Orleans, LA for Hornbeck Offshore Services LLC. She is currently under charter to the U.S. Navy on a $7.4 million contract "to provide proof of concept for a single vessel to meet various training, exercise, experimentation, and operational mission support requirements"

It might be because of the winds and swells.  There was a tornado and Cuba was hit.  It might not have been safe to sail.

A few years ago we stayed until 8 PM.  Captain was making arrangements to change our entire itinerary.  We were scheduled to do a western itinerary.  But Hurricane Paula decided we needed to do an eastern itinerary.  We were scheduled to leave at 5 but our captain was making plans for us to visit a couple of eastern ports before we headed back to Tampa to do our next cruise which was an eastern itinerary.

If the Key West webcam dude would pan out a little bit, we could see Rotterdam arriving at the Navy Pier/Outer Mole - Hint

I keep forgetting.  It's 2 hours earlier there than it is here on the West Coast of South America.
