Bus or Taxi to De Palm Pier?

[Work to travel]

We will be catching the 9:30 AM sailing trip with Mi Dushi on Tuesday, May 11 off of the Noordam. Would it be possible and/or wise to just take the bus to De Palm Pier? How frequently do the buses run? Is the bus system hard to figure out? How much is the fare?

 

If that does not seem like a good idea, then what is the most efficient way to catch a taxi from the cruise ship? What should we expect to pay?

 

Thanks everyone for your wisdom :)

The bus terminal is almost right across from the pier. Bus #10 takes you to the high rise hotel area where De Palm Pier is located. Although they claim to leave every half hour, we found that that they ran more frequently than that. It costs $2.30 per person for a round trip.
