Florida Governor Signs Bill Overturning Key West Cruise Ship Restrictions Published 14 hours ago With the stroke of a pen, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has overturned Key West’s voter-approved limits on cruise ships.

Castaway Waterfront Restaurant & Sushi Bar in Marathon, Florida, shared a photo of the receipt with the eye-popping tip on its Facebook page, congratulating the staffers who are splitting the windfall. Well deserved, the restaurant wrote. Khara Wilson, a server at the restaurant, told Keys Weekly that the woman came in with a big party on a busy morning. I had a little time, so I chit chatted a little bit – where they were from, when [they re] leaving, Wilson told the newspaper. I got the impression that she was visiting with her kids and grandkids.
