Kona tender shuttles

[MrElvis]

We will be cruising to Kona on the Discovery Princess. It is a 2 day stop. Tender shuttles are required. Does anyone know what the operating times for returning on the tender shuttles are as we would like to stay on the island as late as possible?

 

Thanks in advance. This is a new itineary as prior cruises had a stop in Maui with no overnights

They're just "tenders"-- "shuttles" tend to be cruise line jargon for busses in ports. 

 

As you've said it's a new itinerary so only Princess knows for sure, but typically when a ship is overnighting the gangway and tenders operate 24/7 (although less frequently later and overnight-- sometimes just based on demand).
