From $600 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to Auggie’s Jammin Pianos Bar At Gaylord Palms Resort-Hotel.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Auggie’s Jammin Pianos Bar sits inside the Gaylord Palms Resort-Hotel in Kissimmee, tucked into the US-192 corridor that has long served as the value base for a journey to the parks. This is the stretch of Central Florida travelers picture when they think of a family vacation near Orlando: vacation homes lined up block after block, the carnival lights of Old Town, and the gator attractions that sit only minutes from Disney. The resort anchors that scene, and the piano bar is one of the reasons people linger in the evening rather than heading straight back to their room.
Getting here from a cruise is a real distance rather than a swift hop. By road, Kissimmee lies about 228.6 miles from Port of Miami, so this is the kind of address that rewards a private vehicle for the whole run north. The Gaylord Palms works well as a landing spot after a sailing because it puts you inside the Kissimmee parks district from the moment you reach, with the US-192 corridor and its restaurants, shops, and attractions spread out around it.
When your driver reaches the property, the drop is made right at the main entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you. From there the resort takes over, and Auggie’s Jammin Pianos Bar is part of what draws people to stay put once the cruise luggage is unloaded. Service on this route reaches every address in Kissimmee, so the same private ride works whether the resort is your destination or one stop among several during a longer stay.
The ride runs door to door, from the ship’s terminal at Port of Miami straight to the Gaylord Palms entrance with no stops along the way. Your driver follows Florida’s Turnpike for the 228.6-mile journey north, and the pickup at the pier is organized by message as you walk off, so the vehicle is staged for your actual disembarkation rather than a guessed time. A 60-minute courtesy wait window absorbs a slow gangway, and every bag rides inside the vehicle with your party alone.
Plan on roughly 225 to 246 minutes on the road, depending on the hour you leave the port. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the busiest, when thousands of passengers come off the ships at once, and that Turnpike traffic is already priced into the plan. At the resort, look for your driver at the main entrance, luggage carried to the curb, the group set down together at the door.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
