transportation directly from ship to port gate

[mystic51]

We are cruising on the Equinox March 14th.  If anyone that cruises before that time and has port calls in Grand Caymon, Aruba and Curacas can tell me if there is any sort of transportation,( golf card, open small bus) that can/does provide a ride directly from the ship to the port gate?  I have checked on the port boards as well as the disability board, and have not found any information.  I just want to get from the ship to port without alot of walking.  Once in port, I will be fine.  I'm having a mobility scooter on board, but don't want to take it with me because it's not possible to take a taxi etc with it.  Any information you can provide me will be greatly appreciated.

At Aruba, the ships dock a maximum of about 800 feet from the end of the ship's gangway to the security gate at the edge of the port area. It can be as close as several hundred feet. It varies based on where your ship is docked. Pickup for ship's excursions are within the security zone.

 

At Curacao, it is about 1000 feet from the ship to the edge of the security area, unless you rented a car from a preferred provider.  Pickup for the ship's excursions are inside the security zone. There is some shopping within security- several opportunities to buy beer by the glass, Gouda, and souvenirs.

 

You need to be able to go at least 1000 more feet to begin to get to anything of substantial interest. It is a pretty walk, but can be warm/hot. No assistance is available. It is pretty scooter/wheelchair friendly.

I'm actually wondering if there is a gold cart or small open bus that actually takes you from the ship to the port gate

At aruba, the taxis were staged right by the gangway. I didn't see any other way to get to the actual gate besides walking.
