The first [[cruise ship]] to adopt the port was the ''[[Norwegian Cruise Line|Sunward]]'' in 1969. It docked at Pier B, which was owned at that time by the U.S. Navy.

In 1984, the city opened a cruise terminal at [[Mallory Square]]. The decision was met with opponents who claimed that it would disrupt the tradition of watching the sunset at Mallory Square.<ref name=":02">{{Cite book |last=Nicholas |first=Stephen |title=A Chronological History of Key West: A Tropical Island City |publisher=Key West Images of the Past, Inc |year=1989 |asin=B00071OYLI}}</ref>

Today, the Port of Key West includes Key West Bight, Garrison Bight at City Marina, as well as three docks that could be used by cruise ships.<ref name=":02" />
