Jezo Posted May 24 #1 Share Posted May 24 Going to go on the Blacmk Pearl sailing trip and need to take a taxi to get there in the morning after our ship arrives at 8. We have to be there by 9:15. How do the taxis work and what do I need to know to get one to this spot? There will be three of us that day so will need to go there and get back.

Hatteras51 Posted May 27 #2 Share Posted May 27 The current taxi rate is $16.00, which includes $3.00 fee from inside the cruise port. Taxi rates haven't increased in about 6 years, and there is talk that they will be increasing soon, so this may change somewhat by the time that you get there. There is a taxi stand in the port. Get off of the ship as soon as you can because there will be lots of people looking for a taxi. There are places to hang out if you arrive early. It is very important to know that taxis will not take you back to the ship if you have on wet bathing suits. If they suspect that one of your suits is wet at all, you will be refused. Make sure that you are completely dry and take some clothes to put on over your suits before you try to get a taxi. Allow plenty of time to wait for a taxi to arrive. The island is full and taxis are extremely busy. On our last Aruba vacation in February, we usually had to wait around 30 minutes for a taxi to arrive.

5elmst Posted July 13 #3 Share Posted July 13 (edited) Our ship will be docking at 2:30. Will we have enough time to make a 3:15 check-in for the Black Pearl at Hadicurari? I don't want to cut it too close. Edited July 13 by 5elmst left out location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to cut it too close. your sailing time on Black pearl is 3:15? you need to be checked in 15 min before sailing time. THats just too close for comfort for me. Traffic will be horrendous when you first arrive in port Have you considered the sunset sail?> We sail that one every visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5elmst Posted July 25 #5 Share Posted July 25 This is actually a combo snorkel/sunset cruise. I'm not feeling super confident about the timing. I'm thinking an afternoon catamaran and maybe watching the sunset from on deck instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
