MiniMom57 Posted February 21, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Last time we were in Cozumel (2 yrs ago), we had a HORRIBLE time trying to get a taxi for 2 at the pier. The people who were running the taxi area were not helpful at all, and it took us an hour and a half to get a taxi (and that was after we got to the front of the line!) Is the situation ANY better now?? We will have 7 people this time instead of two, so I really don't want to have the hassle of jockeying for a cab like we did 2 yrs ago. Can anyone set my mind at ease??? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleChell Posted February 21, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I was there last Nov 2010 and walked of fthe ship after it docked and had no problem getting a taxi. It actually moved very smooth and fast and they were lined up to go. This was after I took my sweet time getting to the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkltopeka Posted February 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2012 We just returned on Mariner, and were in Cozumel last Thursday. Once you got through all the stores at the pier, there was a line for taxis. It moved pretty quickly IMO. There was a sign which posted prices for various locations. We took a taxi to the Money Bar - $8 and downtown - $7. We shared a taxi each time which made it even cheaper. Both the Allure and the Mariner were at that pier - ~ 8000 passengers, but it never felt overwhelming. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
must2cruz Posted February 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2012 We were there on 2/14/12. No problem at all. Very fast and friendly. There were 3 ships in port that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted February 22, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 22, 2012 When we were there last September tons of taxis waiting at the port to take you anywhere. We didn't have any problem at all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwgirl Posted February 22, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I have NEVER once waited in that line! I walk right past the line, go out to the street, look at a few vendors there, and then hail a taxi. They pick me up and for $8 for 3 people take us to the the end of the shopping strip. We then walk back towards the ship, shopping and eating. When we are ready, we just flag a taxi again and go back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the names of the two piers, but it was the one that is farther away from the center of town -- not the one that is near Senor Frogs.

That's the one we were at last year with no problems at all. :) (Other than the EXTREMELY long walk just to get out of the place and having to visit every vendor along the way). :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
