All-aboard and buffer rules
This is a tender port. The last tender back to the ship usually leaves 30 to 60 minutes before departure, and the queue for the last few tenders can be long. Plan to be back at the tender pier at least 90 minutes before the ship sails.
None of the common tour types here involves a long transfer.
