Ditto to all the above info. The price-per-person should drop based on the occupancy of the taxi. Presently, for two people the price from the port to Maho Beach is $25. Eight people in one taxi might be a stretch, but they do exist. Might be easier to take two taxis with four people each. It is wise to pay close attention to when your ship leaves the port at Philipsburg and allow ample time to get back. If memory serves me correctly, Royal Caribbean ships typically dock at 8:00 a.m. and head out at 5:00 p.m. Traffic back to the port from the Maho Beach area is one of the worst on the island, so play it smart and make sure you grab your taxi(s) around 3:00 p.m. and no later. Trust me ... been there and done that!
