So easy to just go to the taxi stand and grab a cab. The more people they put in the van, the less it costs. So if you can just a minute until they have a full load it should only cost about $6 per person.

 

Coming back may be a bit more since they may not wait until the van is full.

Just see how many ships are in port the day you're there. For us this March it's our ship plus FIVE others!! No way would I want to attempt a cab with 20,000 extra people. I guess St Martin can handle TEN ships so check and see who will be there when you are.
