Was just in Port Louis a month ago on the MSC Sinfonia. They have a a fairly new but very small cruise terminal, just at the entrance of the port as the ship comes in, on the right. You could walk to town, but it is quite far. Didn't notice any car taxis, apart from the coaches used for the shore excursions. The easiest option was the water taxi, from right next to the ship, takes you across the harbour and off loads you pretty much in town, for US$2 per person, one way. They can overload the little boats, which may rock from side to side, but it seems these guys know what they are doing. They only thing of value I had on me was my GoPro, but it is waterproof, my wife's Canon 650D isn't.
