Mobility assistance to taxis

[RoperDK]

I think there is a tram at the port to cut down on walking?  Where are the taxis located to take you to Front Street?  I want to cut down on my steps and save them for the boardwalk.  Also, if I get worn out on the boardwalk are taxis available along Front Street to take us back to the port?  Suggestions?  Thanks.

Ships and the Port Authority should lay on golf buggy shuttles from the ship to taxi ranks.  Small gratuity is appreciated.  Minivan taxis ply their trade up/down Front Street for fares back to ship. Just stand there and flag one down or a taxi will stop and ask “back to ship?”

Then a golf buggy shuttle back to ship.  If buggy not immediately available, then the rank captain will usually call for one.

Agree with what Port Royal said but would add that availability of golf cart type shuttle is pretty unreliable.  You could check with guest services about availability of shuttle or wheel chair assistance at pier to get to taxi stand.  They should be able to offer some help on what may be available when you disembark.

Obviously, there must have been some penny pinching changes within the Cruise Line, as they usually pay the port for this service, to assist cruise guests .with reduced mobility.

Thank you for posting….
