My family walked it from the Ship as we were one of the ones off first on our cruise, I have two young children and they moan if they walk to far.
It seemed like a very short distance, they didnt moan at all and I think we got to the familiy beach in about 10 mins.
I saw a tram go up to the ship but we beat any tram coming back with people on it.
I wouldnt like to say exactly who far it is but it is an easy walk.
In the afternoon, my familiy walked back to the ship and past the shops etc, angain seemed very easy.
