The views look gorgeous just on the internet! This must be a beautiful island
How long would you give yourself to enjoy the tramway?
Is there enough time for Coral World & the tramway? How far is the tramway from the ship's dock?

The tram is about a 5 minute walk from the ship. One hour would get you there, up to the top, shopping, pictures and back to shopping by the dock.

We did the Island and Coral World tour from DCL in the morning and even with taking the long way back (we kept running into a funeral that was blocking traffic all over the island and lost a fan belt on the truck) we still had time to go up to Paradise Point, shop at the Mall by the pier and get back on board in plenty of time.

We got some great shots of the Magic from up there as well as some fun shots with the birds one of the shop keepers has. By buying a frame from her shop she would take as many photos of you and the birds using your own camera. I'm really glad we did this as it is one of my favorite photos.

Hi! we've talked on this (sort of) before. :D
If you didn't already know Mary & I are a couple.
It was a real fun time, I'll link the pics again:

Now, if you look at this pic, right below the ship are a large number of buildings all roofed alike, this is a mall of the shops in town. No real need to go over into town. :D
