Hopefully you're not going by yourself.  It's a dang scary country right off the pier, and I know I'd have hesitated to hop into one of the cabs I saw waiting right outside the gates.  Personally I think it's one of the countries I'd go with an organized tour of some kind- not necessarily a ship tour but one you set up in advance.  If you're thinking nice beach I'd find one of those all-inclusive resorts and arrange transportation there.  I'd heard Costa Rica was beautiful but you sure wouldn't know it when arriving on the cruise ship.
