On Dominica, we hired a (minivan) taxi for a private tour with 4 others. We found our hawker for the tour just beyond the pier (they can't get closer to the ship). People who bought a tour from the ship paid $60 a head and were loaded into "tour" buses (like airport shuttles). When one filled they pulled up another from the line. We paid $40 ea for the same tour plus going to the Caribbean village at the top of the mountain. Wear your seat belt!
St. Thomas: we went through the entire town, shopping (1st day of 1st cruise).
San Juan: We took a tour of old San Juan after getting off the ship. You could get on this bus and leave before the other passengers and then brought to the airport after the tour. The prepaid transfer price was subtracted from the price of the tour.

Except for Venezuela and Greneda we took taxies on Aruba, Dominica, and St. Thomas. It cost $90 for three (3) hours on Aruba. We went to the California Lighthouse, Alto Vista, Santa Ana, the rock formations, and Natural Bridge in that time. In Greneda we took a walking tour of St. Georges, but you can rent a taxi for about $50 and get to Annandale Falls and the Grand E'tang lake. In Dominica it cost $25/person to go to the Emerald Pool and Trafalger Falls including the Botanical Gardens and a view of Rosuau from Morne Bourne. In all cases the taxi driver was good and you should expect NO problems. Always set your price before you go and pay upon return. You get more for less with a taxi - the cruise tours are way overpriced!!! (except LaGuaira - they are real expensive but don't go anywhere unless its' a guided tour. Over half of my entire ship bill was for the tour in Venezuela.
