cat maran Posted January 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2016 We have stayed at several hotels in the 17th St vicinity. Some seem to have taxis in a queue or readily arriving for passenger transport to the port. Others, it seems a taxi has to be called. Does the Embassy Suites have a queue of taxis in the mornings or will I need to call for one? We will be going from ES to the port on a Monday in February.

K&RCurt Posted January 12, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2016 they used to also have a shuttle bus running back and forth from the hotel to the port .... particularly useful for groups as opposed to multiple cabs ... just another option They still do. I believe it is $10.0pp, so if there is more than one of you it is the same or less expensive and quicker with a cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JamesEM Posted January 12, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The cost for the van was $8.00 p.p. a few months ago, a taxi usually runs about $12.00 to $15.00 per trip depending on traffic at the port, Uber is even cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Luv Crusin Posted January 12, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 12, 2016 How about after the cruise? Can you easily get a taxi from the port to the airport and approximately what is the cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&RCurt Posted January 13, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 13, 2016 How about after the cruise? Can you easily get a taxi from the port to the airport and approximately what is the cost? Yes there will be plenty of taxis. Last time for us it was $25.00 with tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elycelynne Posted January 13, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I stayed at the Embassy Suites on a Sunday night for a Monday cruise departure a couple of years ago, and there wasn't a queue. The hotel called a cab for me -- It was no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDMELK Posted January 14, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 14, 2016 We were at the Embassy Suites in early December, and have stayed there 6 or 7 times previously before a cruise. They usually do have cabs waiting for passengers however, if there are none, the bellmen will make the call for you. They have done this for us several times. As far as costs, we left for the pier on a Friday morning around 10:30 AM- cab ride was approximately 10-12 minutes to the pier and the meter fare was $8.10 plus tip. Not sure of the terminal number but it was the new large terminal used for Allure and Oasis and whoever is fortunate enough to have that when the behemoths are not there. For our return to the airport, once again from the same terminal our cab fare to terminal 1 at the airport was $12.50 plus tip. To go one last step further, cab from airport to Embassy Suites was $13.30 PLUS $3.00 airport surcharge plus tip. That ride was a bit slow because of traffic. Hope this information helps. Have a Great Cruise! Jed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
