Sometimes taxi drivers get so greedy with the tourists. I have had the experience of having to pay $5. or $6. dollars just to be taken three blocks. I pay the money because I do a lot of shopping and can't walk the three blocks in super hot and humid weather back to the ship. I am a visuallly impaired senior with bad knees.


Ports should be punished for mistreating the tourists. I notice there were 4 women being abused by the Antigua police. I think the male tourists most likely had to defend the gals from the police.

I am taking the side of the tourists because I have heard how taxi drivers do want to charge more money when they have to take you back to the ship.


I always tell them not to wait for us. To come back later if they want to pick us up. That way I am free from any obligation to go back in their taxi. They have already been paid for the one way ride.
