From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL sits in Hialeah, one of the largest cities in Florida and a corner of the metro that runs at full volume. This is working Miami rather than the postcard version — a neighborhood shaped over generations by Cuban-American families, where Spanish is as much the language of the street as English. Staying here puts you close to the everyday rhythm of the city while keeping the cruise port a single ride away.
The area carries real history. Hialeah Park Racing & Casino, built around the historic Hialeah Park racetrack, anchors the district and remains one of its top-known landmarks. Green space is close as well: Amelia Earhart Park and Milander Park both sit neighboring, useful if you desire a slower afternoon after days at sea. The Palmetto Expressway runs alongside the area too, which is part of why getting in and out of Hialeah stays straightforward whichever direction you are headed.
What you locate on arrival is a practical base rather than a tourist strip — quiet enough to rest, connected enough to reach the beaches, downtown, or the airport without a long haul. Anything about the property itself, from room details to check-in times, lives on Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL’s own official page; our part is the ground transport that gets you there. We hand you off at the door with your bags, and the stay is yours from that point on.
From the moment you clear the cruise terminal at the Port of Miami, the plan is simple: bags to the curb, one direct ride to the door of Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you finish walking off the ship, so the waiting is on our side, not yours. Disembarkation mornings back up rapidly at the exits, and having the vehicle already in place is what keeps the morning moving.
The route runs along the Airport Expressway and SR-112 Toll, normally about 24 to 31 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way — no extra stops, no dragging cases across the port. One group, one vehicle, from the pier straight to the door.

Tras el crucero, mi esposo y yo no íbamos a jugárnosla con un transporte en la terminal, así que reservamos un auto privado a Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL. Teníamos los datos del conductor con anticipación, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue totalmente sólido.
The two of us set up a private transfer for disembarkation morning so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride getting over to Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL. An easy, smooth handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL with nothing left to sort out. No app to fight with — we just stepped out and the car was ready. Highly recommend.
I didn’t want to gamble on a ride the morning I disembarked, so I arranged a private car from the terminal to Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL. I knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was no guessing at the port.
With the whole crew, pre-booking a private car from the port to Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL meant nothing to sort out on disembarkation morning. The kids were done after a week at sea, and getting straight to Anchor STUDIOS / HOTEL without a scramble at the port was a relief.
