Arubus Day Pass to go to Palm Beach morning and again late afternoon?

[khoff413]

For anyone who knows the area and Arubus system: we will be in Aruba on March 9 from 8am-midnight. We booked the Sunset Sail on Black Pearl from 4-7pm. It boards near Moomba Beach Bar. We also rented a palapa at the Hilton which needs to be claimed before noon. We prefer to eat lunch on the ship as my husband has a gluten allergy (Black Pearl can do gf bread for their grilled cheese sandwiches). Is it doable to get a $10 day pass for Arubus to go to the Hilton in early am, go back to the ship for lunch, then go back to Palm Beach to catch the Black Pearl? I’m trying to avoid all-day sun and possible challenge to get chairs and an umbrella in the afternoon when things may be crowded.

Sure. The walk from ship to bus station is 15 minutes and any of the 3 bus routes north will go there and return. You will see a bus every 15 minutes or so and it’s only a 20 minutes ride.  Not sure how late it runs though.
