That is what we were afraid of; that this guy totally ripped us off.  We don't even think he ran the meter as we couldn't see any amount.  However, I have started an investigation.  Something prompted me to write down his cab number and the phone number to report him.  Won't get me the money back, but got me some satisfaction that he was reported and will be investigated and flagged.

 

We you left in the garage where the taxi stand is?  He dropped us off at the correct door, and I didn't even think they were allowed to do that?

My sister has obvious physical limitations. As such he dropped us off at the handicap location outside the United door. The only reason we opted for the taxi was it was right at the port. They said the Uber/Lyft pick up area was a 15 min walk. I could have gotten an XL Lyft for the same $48 before tip. Would have been WAY more comfy!

@caribillit was a metered rate. 

@Mary Ann 2 We walked off about 7:40. It was a quick taxi ride. We used Port Valet so only needed to put a walker in the trunk.  Our fare for 4 adults was $48.00. Sorry you were taken advantage of!

We are on this cruise. TY to prior cruisers for advice! Try the elderflower Paloma from the Crown Grill Bar! Anti-fog wipes from AMZ a must, Cruise On outlet adapter with USB ports helpful, tons of masks so can keep replacing. On our rainy day in port we replaced our masks often as they would get damp inside, so carry several extra per person even when on an excursion!

We all enjoyed the Culinary Demonstration on Day 7, with the executive chef & Neville! 
We asked for an extra blanket for the balcony and we’re told to get it at MUTS. We did that on embarkation day and have kept & used them!

Prior to boarding we had selected various dining rooms, and times for dinner. Night 1 we had Pedro from Peru in Symphony and loved him. We changed our regular DR res to Symphony each night and no matter the time have been able to be seated in his section. 
Be sure to check out the Hollywood Conservatory! 
Dinner in Crown Grill was just ok. With the exception of the oysters, we felt both the food & service we got in the main DR exceeded that of the CG. 

From what I read SeaTac offers testing up to 72 hours PRIOR to your FLIGHT. That is of no help for cruising requirements. 🥲
