Sun Lover Posted April 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2023 We will be docking in Nassau and have an excursion booked at Hotel RIU Palace on Paradise Island, which is on Cabbage Beach close to Atlantis. I've read on the boards to be careful knowing what the cost of the cab ride should be in advance so as not to be overcharged. How would we know what that is? Are there posted rates at the pier when we get off the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothko1 Posted April 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Establish the price before you get into the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Lover Posted April 20, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Yes, but how would I know what the rate is supposed to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the price is acceptable to you, book it. If not, don't. I don't think there is any kind of taxi commission that sets rates. It's more like what the market will bear.

CILCIANRQTS Posted April 22, 2023 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2023 There usually are enough cruise passengers going to Cabbage Beach, so you can probably get a shared van for $5PP. If not, take a shared van to Atlantis and walk 10 minutes to the public access for the beach. There will be cabs at the beach to take you back to the ship.

blue_water Posted April 24, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 24, 2023 We learned that the posted fares mean little to the drivers, even with the taxi “coordinator” at the airport. So don’t be afraid to ask another driver if the fare seems high. Can’t help with the fares, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
