How far is the dock?
 
We will be staying at the Marriott for an evening before boarding ship for a cruise the next day. How far is the dock from this hotel? Is the taxi service reliable and how much is the typical fare. Thanks.

Help us out, give a little hint of the place the ship sails from....

If you are talking about the Marriott in Puerto Rico it is about 10 minutes to the dock. Fare is around $12.

Not far.

The Marriott is about 14 miles from the dock. You will be able to have a slave child pull you in a cart to the boat from the hotel. Please be alert to rip offs, the fare should be no more than a dollar or so.<BR>The service is also not very reliable as the smaller slave children tend to pull slowly and you may miss the boat.<BR>

Why are there so many people who think they are comics. If you have nothing constructive to add why don't you just go away.

in fairness to jogger, how were we supposed to know which Marriott? There must be dozens of Marriotts on different islands, and there was no clue in the original post as to where it is.

Sorry about that! I assumed since I was in the "Puerto Rico" talk site all posting pertained to that island. Excuse this neophite. I probably will not post again...I am not comfortable with sarcasic commets or humour at others expense! Thankyou to those who wrote instuctively...I appreciate your help.<BR>

Lighten up Heather.

Yes, lighten up. Your question went to the general Caribbean board, not the PR one.
