From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to B Hotel South Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
B Hotel South Beach puts you in the heart of South Beach, the compact stretch of coast where Miami keeps its most familiar postcard. The neighborhood folds the Art Deco district, Española Way, and Lincoln Road into a single grid you can cross on foot, and the sand at Lummus Park runs just beyond the pastel storefronts of Ocean Drive. Checking in here means the classic scenes of the region sit a short walk from the lobby rather than a drive away.
Arriving straight off a cruise, you’ll locate a property built for people who desire the water close. With the shoreline right at the edge of the neighborhood, an afternoon on the beach is a simple first move — leave your bags at the front desk and walk toward the surf. If you decide to stay on after the ship, Ocean Drive, the Lincoln Road Mall, and the New World Center all sit within the same district, so evenings tend to fill themselves.
The hotel itself is the right place to confirm the practical details — room types, parking, and check-in timing all live on B Hotel South Beach’s official page, and those specifics can change, so it’s worth a look before you sail. What the transfer handles is the part that matters on landing day: moving your group and its luggage from the terminal to the door without a scramble for a ride once you’re off the ship.
The ride runs door-to-door from the cruise terminal to the entrance of B Hotel South Beach. Your driver tracks your ship and is staged at the pier before you clear the terminal hall, so the waiting is theirs, not yours. Once your group reaches the curb, the bags go into the vehicle and stay there until they’re carried out at the hotel — no reloading, no second leg to arrange.
From the port, the route crosses MacArthur Causeway and picks up SR A1A into South Beach, a short hop that normally takes about 12 to 14 minutes once you’re rolling. Disembarkation mornings back up fast at the exits, but because the car is reserved for your party alone and timed to your arrival, you head straight to the door instead of circling for a pickup.

Sin estrés alguno.
