cab service at the ports

[islander]

Please don't think this is a stupid question :help but my husband and I will be traveling the Eastern Caribbean this October on the Mariner. And we were thinking of taking a cab to one of the beaches. Relax and have a few drinks. Now the question is, if the taxi drops you off will there be one to pick you up in a few hours? I realize that we could tell our cab driver, but would he forget about us? Yes, I'm new at this.

THanks for any advice.

I assume you are talking about St. Thomas and St. Martaan. There are plenty of cabs waiting at the pier and at the beaches. The cabdrivers know exactly when the cruise ships get into port and where tourists want to go. St. Martaan I recommend Orient Beach.

Thank you for the help. But, will the cab drivers be at the beach to pick us up when we are done? Do they cruise the beaches as well? Thanks again

Im sure you wont have a problem getting a cab back, and if you ask your driver to come back for you at a certain time, they will (especially if you dont pay them until they come back for you). But you have to negotiate all of your terms before you get in the car.
