Will Key West have the key to solve our "not enough time" problem?

Key West is another city we will visit on this cruise.  It sounds as if there are many activities that would be wonderful to experience.  However, since we are on a ship - we stay only one day.  As, our short stay will force us to leave some of the "must do's" from our list.

I have learned a bit about Key West, trying to be ready for our one day in this wonderful city.  Key West is actually closer to Cuba (98 miles away) than it is Miami (129 miles away), which was surprising to learn.  Before the Overseas Highway was built to Key West (1938), it was actually an Overseas Railway.  The Overseas Railway (built in 1912) was destroyed during the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935.

Numerous artists and writers have passed through Key West, but the two most associated with the island are Ernest Hemmingway and Tennessee Williams.  The Hemmingway House is a popular tourist destination, complete with tours.  The six or seven toed polydactyl cats, that still live on the property today, descended from Hemmingway's original pet, "Snowball".

Tennessee Williams became a regular visitor to Key West in 1941, and is said to have written the first draft of A Streetcar Named Desire while staying on the island in 1947 at the La Concha Hotel.  Williams bought a home in Key West in 1949, and listed Key West as his primary residence until his death in the 1980's.  Unlike Hemmingway's home, Williams home is a modest bungalow.

After careful research, here is what I have on our "to do" list...  How can we fit it all in?  We have signed up for a half day snorkel trip already - then we need to fit all this in to the morning, before 12:45?  Oh my... I'm tired already!
