Does the ship actually depart at 2PM or is that when everyone need to be onboard?

Whatever is printed on your itinerary you need to be on the ship 1/2 hour prior although we have been on many a cruise and watched people running to the gang plank with only seconds to spare.

So for Kauai ship leaves at 2 pm you should be on the ship for 1:30.

IUf they say "Ship departs at 2:00PM," you better believe it will leave at that time. Unless one of their shore excursions are late, they are pretty good at keeping the schedule. There are many reasons why they leave at certain times, so they usually do.

The daily called for everyone to be back on board at 1:30 pm.

The main reason that it leaves at 2:00PM is the Na Pali Coast sail by. If it leaves much later than 2:00PM they may not complete the sail by by sunset. You'd have been cheated if they had to speed along the coast because they were running late.
