From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Beachside Village Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Beachside Village Resort sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small coastal town that has held onto its beach-village character while larger resort strips grew up around it. The property sits close to the shoreline, so the ocean is a short walk rather than a drive, and the low-rise streets nearby keep the scale friendly and simple to find your way around after a week at sea.
When you arrive you are steps from the kind of Florida coast that rewards slowing down. Anglin’s Fishing Pier reaches out over the water a short distance away, and the living coral reef that Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is known for sits close enough to snorkel straight off the sand, no boat needed. Datura Avenue and El Prado Park are also nearby, giving you a handful of simple places to wander once the bags are dropped.
The resort is about 35 miles up the coast from PortMiami, and the route runs as one direct leg on I-95, so reaching it after a cruise is straightforward. Set your luggage down at the door and the beach afternoon is right there, a natural next move after days on the ship. Because the town stays compact and walkable, most of what you will desire on the first day is within reach of the property itself, which makes it a simple landing spot whether you stay a single night or a full week before heading home.
Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, so there is no wandering the port looking for a car. Bags go from the curb straight into the vehicle, and the whole ride is reserved for your group alone, one party per car, door to door. Once everyone is settled, it is a single direct leg north on I-95 to Beachside Village Resort.
Plan on roughly 59 to 74 minutes from the terminal curb to the resort door, depending on the hour and how I-95 is moving. Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, there is room built in if disembarkation runs slow. Your luggage stays with you the entire way, and the driver handles it lobby to curb, so the journey stays simple from the moment you step off the ship.

Tirou toda a preocupação de a manhã do desembarque — facílimo. Havia um bom período de tolerância a partir do horário combinado, então nunca precisamos correr para juntar as malas.
Los dos zarpamos de PortMiami y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje hasta Beachside Village Resort fue lo mejor del día. El viaje de la terminal a Beachside Village Resort fue silencioso y relajado, y pudimos ver pasar la ciudad.
Los pequeños estaban medio dormidos cuando bajamos, y una van privada ahí en la terminal llevó a todos a Beachside Village Resort antes de que alguien colapsara. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue justo cuando lo necesitamos.
No taxi line — we walked off the ship and a clean, private car was waiting, then straight to Beachside Village Resort. Highly recommend. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
The perfect end to the cruise — handled from the curb to the lobby. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Beachside Village Resort, it was well worth it.
