From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Aladdin Hotel Miami in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Aladdin Hotel Miami sits in the MIA Airport District at 901 S Royal Poinciana Blvd, a quiet pocket of the city built around simple movement rather than sightseeing. The region wraps around the Blue Lagoon corridor, where travelers fly in, sleep close to the water, and roll out to the ship the next morning. It is a practical base for anyone joining or leaving a cruise, and your ride ends right at the hotel door with your bags handled for you.
The neighborhood is stitched together by the roads that create Miami move. The Dolphin Expressway, known as SR-836, runs nearby, and the Palmetto Expressway is close as well. NW 36th Street feeds the surrounding blocks, keeping the airport, the port, and the hotel within a simple connected loop. If you plan to stay on after your sailing, that same road network puts the rest of the city within reach without any complicated transfers to sort out.
What you find on arrival is straightforward and peaceful. There is no shuttle line to queue for and no dragging luggage across a lot to reach a door. Your chauffeur brings you directly to the entrance, helps with the bags, and the drop-off is done. Because the Blue Lagoon region leans toward convenience over crowds, it suits families coming off the ships week after week, and it suits a cruise schedule that runs on its own clock. The hotel becomes a simple, well-placed anchor for the days on either side of your voyage, close to everything the airport district connects to.
From the pier it is one direct run to Aladdin Hotel Miami, following the Airport Expressway and the SR-112 Toll for roughly 7.8 miles. Plan on about 20 to 25 minutes terminal to door, quiet hours to rush hour, with traffic on those two roads being the only real variable. That is why your pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, rather than a slot cut to the minute that leaves you rushing off the gangway.
The day itself stays simple. You clear the terminal, your bags come to the curb, and your chauffeur is waiting for the single ride to the hotel. Luggage rides inside the vehicle, and the driver handles it at both ends. The car is reserved for your group alone, so there are no added stops and no strangers along for the journey. It feels closer to riding with friends than flagging down a car, personal and organized from the port straight to the door.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
