Taxi and Tipping

We are a family of 5 and will be sailing on the Majesty of the Seas on December 26th, returning on December 30th. I understand that cabs cost a flat rate of $20 from the airport to the docks. We will need 2 cabs for the 5 of us. What should we tip the drivers? Are we better off using the RCL ground transfers?

Tipping is usually the standard 15% (plus or minus depending on the quality of service).

But, what airport and cruise port are you going to/from?

We will by flying into Miami. The wife and I have always used RCL transportation for the 2 of us. I just wonder if it is best to use RCL for the 5 of us, or should we take 2 cabs?

Assuming the ship is also docked in Miami, I would definitely use 2 cabs. Not only will it be cheaper, but it will be much quicker and easier.
