Going to go on the Blacmk Pearl sailing trip and need to take a taxi to get there in the morning after our ship arrives at 8.  We have to be there by 9:15.  How do the taxis work and what do I need to know to get one to this spot?  There will be three of us that day so will need to go there and get back.

The current taxi rate is $16.00, which includes $3.00 fee from inside the cruise port.  Taxi rates haven't increased in about 6 years, and there is talk that they will be increasing soon, so this may change somewhat by the time that you get there.  There is a taxi stand in the port. Get off of the ship as soon as you can because there will be lots of people looking for a taxi. There are places to hang out if you arrive early. It is very important to know that taxis will not take you back to the ship if you have on wet bathing suits. If they suspect that one of your suits is wet at all, you will be refused. Make sure that you are completely dry and take some clothes to put on over your suits before you try to get a taxi. Allow plenty of time to wait for a taxi to arrive.  The island is full and taxis are extremely busy. On our last Aruba vacation in February,  we usually had to wait around 30 minutes for a taxi to arrive.
