Taxi from San Juan airport to Cruise Terminal

[Sunbeam56]

Has anyone taken lately a taxi from San Juan, Puerto Rico airport to Cruise Terminal6

 

How much was it?

 

How long does it take from airport to pier?

It is around $18 for 2 people, they charge extra for additional luggage, but not that big of a deal and I don't recall how many bags are included. Seems to me it was anything over 2 each? I may be wrong though.

 

Travel time 15-20 minutes. :)

We took a cab there several weeks ago. It was $20. We had tons of bags (8) and they did not charge any extra for them. I guess it depends upon the taxi driver.

The taxi cost around $20.00, travel time I can't remember but they drive real fast.

It's been a little while but my recollection is $18 plus $.50 or $1.00 for each bag over 2.

Will be cruising out of San Juan on April 28 for the first time. Any recommendations as to taking the Princess transfer or the taxi. I would think taking the taxi would get you to the ship sooner.

Take the taxi. If there is any traffic, the harrowing taxi drive from the airport to the port is worth a lot more than the $20-25 you'll pay :D

 

Almost all taxis in SJ are Chevrolet Astro minivans with tons of space for 4-5 pax and luggage. The problem is, they're a bit too big for the roads, hence the harrowing ride, especially with a talented driver.

Took a taxi on 1/27 in the other direction, Pier 4 to the airport. 27.50 for 4 people with 11 or 12 bags. Exciting ride!!

We cruised 2 weeks ago, it was $19 plus $1 per bag (we had 11 bags between the 6 of us), for a total of $30.

Zukecruiser, are you sailing on the Crown? Come join us on our roll call thread: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=247579&page=32

We took a cab from the airport to the Crown Princess on "Three Kings Day" and then back to the airport the following week. It was $19.00 for two people and then something like $.50 per bag...total for us was about $22.50. Figure 30 min. at the most from the airport, depending on traffic and how well your cab driver knows alternate routes.

I'd say take the cab! It is much quicker, there's no waiting around, and the ride is entertaining! We actually saw one car pushing another car's bumper....apparently they weren't moving along fast enough! It's cheaper than the transfers, and would be worth it even if it weren't!

Thanks for all the feedback on the taxi's, it looks like that's the best way to get to the pier. I will be on the Crown Princess and have looked at the thread for the 4/28 sailing as previously mentioned. It's hard to believe it has been going since 2005. A lot of dedicated cruisers out there.
