From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Best Western Orlando East Inn and Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Best Western Orlando East Inn and Suites is a hotel base in Orlando, the destination our routing lists for this run from the cruise pier. After a sailing out of the Port of Miami, it puts you in central Florida rather than back on the coast — a practical landing spot for travelers heading inland once the ship is behind them and the trip turns to firm ground.
Around it, Orlando offers the metro’s grown-up side. Downtown Orlando and Winter Park bring lakeside parks, museums, and a boutique-lined main street within reach. Lake Eola Park and the Kia Center sit close by, and if you linger after the cruise, Park Avenue in Winter Park lines up its shops while the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum waits nearby, all in and around Orlando.
What you locate on arrival is simple: a straightforward Orlando address at the end of a long drive north, reached without a transfer or a change of vehicle along the way. Anything about the stay itself — the rooms, the front desk, the details of your booking — lives at the hotel’s own page; our part is getting you and your bags to its door in one clean run. The driver ends the trip where you need to be, so the first thing you do after a day on the road is step out and check in, not hunt for the next connection.
This is one continuous run from the cruise terminal to the hotel door — roughly 232 miles up Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, with your luggage riding in the same vehicle the whole way. Your driver is staged at the terminal before you clear the hall, so the wait belongs to them, not to you. Once your group is aboard, it is a single trip north to Orlando with no transfers and no shared stops.
Plan on about 226 to 240 minutes terminal to door, depending on how the day’s traffic moves. Disembarkation mornings stack up fast at the exits, but with the vehicle already in place your group loads and leaves at your own pace. From there the highway does the rest, ending at Best Western Orlando East Inn and Suites with your bags carried in at both ends.
