From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Balmoral Resort Florida 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.
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.
Balmoral Resort Florida sits in Haines City, out in Central Florida’s stretch of lakes, golf country, and vacation-home communities. It is the sort of place travelers settle into for several days rather than a single night, which is exactly why a long, direct ride up from the coast makes sense: you reach with your whole group and your luggage together, ready to unpack and stay put.
The setting around the resort is quiet and green, well away from the density of the port you left that morning. Golf resorts and rental villas fill this part of Central Florida, with the crowds kept at a comfortable distance. If you build in extra days after the cruise, there is plenty within reach — ChampionsGate is close by, the Clermont chain of lakes is nearby for time on the water, and Lake Louisa State Park gives you open space and trails. For shopping and a bite between outings, Posner Park is also within easy variety of the resort.
Arrival day itself is simple. Your chauffeur brings you straight to the door of Balmoral Resort Florida after the run up from the terminal, with full luggage help at the property end just as at the pier. There is no shuttle line to join and no bags to drag, so the first thing you actually do here is check in and start your stay. The vehicle is yours alone for the trip, so the pace and the timing belong to your group from the port all the way to Haines City.
This is one long, direct run from the pier to the resort door. The route from the Port of Miami to Balmoral Resort Florida covers about 223.9 miles and normally takes 233 to 244 minutes, depending on whether you leave in quiet hours or into rush-hour traffic. Florida’s Turnpike carries most of the distance, so once you are on the road it is a steady, single ride north rather than a string of stops.
Your driver is staged at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, in place before you clear the disembarkation hall, so the waiting is theirs and not yours. Bags go straight from the curb into the vehicle, fuel and standard tolls are already inside the flat fare, and luggage help comes at both ends of the trip. From the moment you walk off the ship, it is one direct ride to the door of Balmoral Resort Florida in Haines City.
