Counted from the moment you step off the gangway. The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside.
30 minutes each way is the honest figure for taxi 25–35 min, not the optimistic one. If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 30 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Each one is a finished day we have walked and timed, with this stop in it. Read the route rather than assembling it yourself.
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
