From $610 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bass Lake Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Bass Lake Resort sits in Davenport, in the stretch of central Florida that opens up west of the Disney exits along I-4. It is a corner of the region built around golf resorts and rental villas, where the theme parks stay only minutes away while the heavy crowds keep their distance. For a group coming off a cruise, that combination is the appeal: you land somewhere calm and green, with the attractions still close enough to reach on your own schedule.
The property belongs to the wider Davenport region, part of the same resort-and-villa country that fills up around ChampionsGate and Reunion. It is a landscape of fairways, water, and low-key roads rather than a busy downtown, so arriving here feels like settling into a home base instead of checking into the middle of a city. Families come off the ships every week and head straight for this side of the parks, and the surroundings are geared to exactly that kind of visitor.
When your vehicle pulls up, the drop-off is simple: your driver brings the group to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, so no one is dragging cruise luggage across a parking lot. From here the parks, the golf, and the quieter Davenport neighborhoods are all within easy reach, and the resort setting gives you a settled place to unpack before the rest of the journey begins.
The journey runs door to door, terminal to entrance, in one vehicle kept for your group alone. Pickup is staged at your ship’s own terminal, coordinated by message as you walk off, so your driver is already in place before you clear the disembarkation hall. Bags go straight into the vehicle and stay there for the whole ride, and the included wait window absorbs a slow gangway without anyone rushing you.
From the port the route follows Florida’s Turnpike for the long haul north, covering roughly 240.6 miles in about 241 to 248 minutes depending on traffic. On a run this length, having your own vehicle sets the tone for the day: you select the departure time, the pace, and one stop of up to 30 minutes, and the driver handles the road while you settle in. At the far end you are dropped at the Bass Lake Resort entrance with your luggage carried to the curb.
From the Port of Miami, plan on about 3 hours 58 minutes and 240.9 miles to reach Bass Lake Resort in Davenport via Florida’s Turnpike. Prices are per vehicle, not per seat: $610 for the Black SUV, $870 for the Van, $1075 for the Van XL. Pickup is at your cruise terminal curb at PortMiami.

Every policy in full: FAQ
The two of us arranged a private transfer for disembarkation morning so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds getting over to Bass Lake Resort. There was a name sign at the terminal doors, so we spotted the driver immediately.
The kids were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Bass Lake Resort in one piece. The fare was fixed when we booked, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
Viaje cómodo, recogida fácil, y un conductor que manejó la terminal como un experto. Lo reservaría de nuevo. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, sin nada extra en la acera.
Our family of six came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to Bass Lake Resort. We went from the ship to the front desk of Bass Lake Resort with nothing to worry about in between. The fare was set up front, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. No stress at all.
After our cruise, my wife and I weren’t going to gamble on a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Bass Lake Resort. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — exactly right for the morning. The ride from the terminal to Bass Lake Resort was easy the whole way, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
