NancyA Posted May 10, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I'm not sure if I'm hallucinating...did the taxi drivers go on strike in San Juan? I tried a search on line but couldn't find any info. If they are on strike, I need to figure out how to get to the cruise terminal from the airport on June 6th. It's the first time we didn't buy the Princess transfers and a strike has to happen Is there another option to get to the ship? Appreciate your help.

gina2edu Posted May 10, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Oh my. I haven't heard about a strike, but I will be checking back here to see the real deal. We are going on Golden on June 13 so hopefully the strike will be over by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyA Posted May 10, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I found some info on the strike. I pulled this off the AP from May 5th: "TAXI STRIKE STRANDS TOURISTS AT AIRPORT SAN JUAN -- Hundreds of taxi drivers went on strike for a third consecutive day Wednesday, leaving thousands of travelers seeking alternate means of transportation. Some tourists who arrived at San Juan's Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport had up to three-hour waits to get to their hotels or other destinations." Does anyone know if it is resolved? Those of you that sailed last week, were they still on strike on Sunday? Thanks again, Nancy June 6-Golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob123 Posted May 10, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2004 We went thru SJU on the two Sundays (the 2nd and the 9th) and we didn't see any cabs on strike. We had to wait about 5 minutes for a cab when leaving the airport on the 2nd but that was because there was at least 20 groups waiting for cabs. On the way back, we didn't wait at all. There were TONS of cabs available both dates. Hopefully when you get there you won't have any problems either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen2cruz Posted May 10, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Read on another board they had already reached an agreement. So, I wouldn't worry. Sea Princess 2/02 DisneyWonder 6/03 Mariner of the Seas 4/04 Golden Princess 1/23/05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almost Boricua Posted May 10, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2004 The strike was over by the weekend. Sadly, the taxi drivers go on strike alot. Not to worry, though, the tourism board can help you get transportation if there is another strike. It is still better to take taxis than the transfers.

NancyA Posted May 10, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Thanks for everyone's responses... it is so great to have answers from people with first hand knowledge. That's what I love about these boards! Looks like we shouldn't have any problems. June 6-Golden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
