From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to AC Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
AC Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport sits at 154 Meridian Drive in Dania Beach, right where Hallandale and Dania Beach meet along the county line. It is a contemporary hotel built for travelers moving between the water and the highway, with a peaceful, uncluttered feel once you step through the doors. When your ride pulls up, the driver brings you to the main entrance, so you finish the journey at the lobby rather than a parking lot or a curb far from the door.
The setting puts a good slice of South Florida within easy reach. Gulfstream Park is close by, pairing live racing with shopping under one roof, and Dania Pointe adds a run of outlet stores when you feel like browsing. For a quieter afternoon, the old-Florida fishing pier at Dania Beach gives you a stretch of ocean air and a place to watch the boats come in. Design lovers have the Design Center of the Americas, known as DCOTA, a short hop away in the same Hallandale and Dania Beach region.
That mix is what makes this corner easy to settle into after a cruise. You are near the beach without being on top of the crowds, close to the outlets and the track when you want something to do, and still an easy drive from the wider region. The hotel handles anything about the stay itself; our part is getting you and your bags there in one clean, private leg, so you reach ready to check in and start your time in Dania Beach.
The journey is one private, door-to-door leg from your ship to the hotel entrance. After you clear the terminal on Dodge Island, your driver is organized by message and meets your group right at the curb, not in a distant lot. Every bag is loaded there at the pier, so you walk out, locate the vehicle waiting, and step aboard without dragging luggage across the sidewalk.
Because ships rarely release everyone at the same minute, the pickup is planned around your arrival, and an included sixty-minute wait covers customs and the luggage hall. The route runs up I-95 as a single, direct leg, with your bags staying in the vehicle the whole way. When you reach AC Hotel Fort Lauderdale Airport, look for your driver at the main entrance, and the ride ends steps from the front desk.
