From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bahia Mar Hotel Fort Lauderdale in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, 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.
Bahia Mar Hotel Fort Lauderdale puts you right on the water in Fort Lauderdale, with the shoreline only steps from the door. Guests coming off a cruise often swap the ship’s deck for real sand the same afternoon they arrive, and the beach stays within an easy walk the whole stay. It is a genuine beachfront address, so the ocean is part of the daily rhythm rather than something you drive to.
The setting is pure Fort Lauderdale. Canals lace the city from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal Waterway, the pattern that earned the place its nickname, the Venice of America. Along the coast, the beachfront promenade stretches for miles, a flat and open walk that follows the sand and makes it simple to wander after a long stretch at sea. From the hotel you are set squarely in that world of water and shoreline.
There is ample within reach once you settle in. Fort Lauderdale Beach and the Riverwalk sit close by, and both reward an unhurried afternoon on foot. Port Everglades is neighboring as well, along with Hugh Taylor Birch State Park for a quieter stretch of green between the beach and the Intracoastal. For rooms, parking, or check-in details, the property’s own official page is the place to confirm the specifics, since those things change and we keep to what we can vouch for: the ride that gets you here.
Book before you dock and the hard part of disembarkation takes care of itself. Your chauffeur tracks the ship and meets your group at the curb of your own terminal on Dodge Island, not in a distant lot. Bags go straight into the reserved vehicle, and from the pier it is one clean run north along I-95 to the door of Bahia Mar Hotel Fort Lauderdale, with no shared stops and no detours.
The trip usually takes 50 to 67 minutes, and the pickup is timed to your real disembarkation rather than a guess, so the port’s weekend crush is already built into the plan. The fare is locked when you book, the same whichever vehicle fits your group, and it covers gas, typical tolls, and assist with the luggage at both ends. You step off the ship, locate your driver, and ride straight through.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
