dolfinmusic Posted October 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I am getting married in Key West and am going to a salon to get hair done prior to the wedding. We are coming in on NCL. Do they normally have a few taxis waiting at the pier or should I call beforehand? Trying to save time. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be safer to call a cab, for example Five-Sixes which is easy to remember ---> http://keywesttaxi.com/ Tell the dispatcher that you will be in front of the Custom's House, the big, red brick building just off the docks.

Rare LHT28 Posted October 21, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I would check the pier your ship is docking at & the location of the hairdresser http://www.keywestcity.com/department/calendar.php Looks like it may be Outer Mole so you will need to take the trolley out of the port area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted October 22, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 22, 2014 You'll be one of 3 ships in port that day and yes, you'll be on the Outer Mole pier...the least desirable of piers. Unfortunately, you'll have to board a trolley/conch train to get from the pier to downtown. From there, you can get a taxi. Hopefully this process doesn't eat up too much of your time. Congrats on your wedding! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquahound Posted October 24, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 24, 2014 So a taxi will not come to that pier? Thank you for the congratulations :) I don't think so because there is a police checkpoint to get out on that pier. That's because it's Navy property. However, it doesn't hurt to ask. I recommend calling the taxi companies and asking. Tell them your situation and be sure to tell them you'll be on the Mole Pier. See if you can arrange a taxi to pick you up. One company was previously mentioned, but also try Maxi Taxi since they use vans...305-296-2222. Good luck. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolfinmusic Posted October 24, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Ohhhh, so I guess we are not in the same dock that we were last year. Crappers. Last year we docked where the statues were - can't think of the name of the museum. lol. This info is really helpful!!! Thank you so much! Now I am kind of worried though since I have no clue about timing and the trolley :eek: Edited October 24, 2014 by dolfinmusic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolfinmusic Posted October 24, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted October 24, 2014 If I do take whatever it is that comes to get us at the ship - trolley or whatever - where does that drop us off at? Thank you all so much for this info!!! I would have been in for a shock if I just thought we docked where we did last year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I am kind of worried though since I have no clue about timing and the trolley :eek: Yeah, that was the Westin Dock (Pier B). If you remember that dock that was behind you guys, separated from your dock by a small bay, that's the dock you'll be on this time. If I do take whatever it is that comes to get us at the ship - trolley or whatever - where does that drop us off at? Thank you all so much for this info!!! I would have been in for a shock if I just thought we docked where we did last year!!! It drops you off on Front St, between Whitehead and Fitzpatrick. If you remember where the shiprwreck historium was located near your ship last year, that's where you will be dropped off. It's near the aquarium and Clinton Square Mall. Just curious....where are you taking a taxi to? I only ask becuase it might be walkable. Edited October 24, 2014 by Aquahound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted October 25, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 25, 2014 We will be there Nov 8th at OM so will keep an eye open for taxis & report back Lyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolfinmusic Posted October 27, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted October 27, 2014 thank you for the info! It is 513 Fleming Street. I wouldn't mind walking it if it wasn't super hot and humid. Not sure how bad it will be in 3 weeks. We were there last year in mid-Oct and it was so very hot, I remember sweating very much. So I will be going to the salon already showered for the wedding, don't want to be a stinky bride! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely doable but if it's humid, I can understand why a bride would rather ride than walk. Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the trolleys are open; but I wouldn't say they are windy since they move pretty slow. Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
