From $265 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Best Western Pga 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 Pga is a comfortable, well-kept hotel in Palm Beach Gardens, the calm northern stretch of the Palm Beaches. It sits well up the coast from the port, so the ride north trades the crowds of downtown for a quieter, more residential pace. After a week at sea, that simple setting is a welcome change of scenery, and your chauffeur brings you right to the entrance rather than dropping you somewhere you then have to walk from.
On arrival the practical side is handled the way most travelers hope for. The hotel offers the usual amenities, along with luggage holds and the choice of an early check-in when your room is ready before the standard time. If you come off the ship in the morning and your room is still being turned over, you can leave the bags safely and start your day without waiting around the lobby with a cart of suitcases.
The location suits both a straight overnight and a longer stay. The Gardens Mall is close by for a shopping run or a meal, and the beaches of the Palm Beaches are within simple reach, so a quiet afternoon by the water after the cruise is a natural next move. Drop your bags at Best Western Pga, catch your breath, and let the pace of Palm Beach Gardens do the rest. When you are ready to move again, the same private service can take you onward, so the hotel works as a comfortable base rather than just a place to sleep between legs of the journey.
This is a door-to-door ride from your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island straight to the entrance of Best Western Pga. Your chauffeur is organized by message as you clear the hall and meets your group at the curb, so there is no searching a crowded lot after disembarkation. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, luggage rides inside with you, and every bag is carried from the pier to the door.
The route follows I-95 north the whole way, a run of roughly 82 miles that normally takes 103 to 115 minutes depending on the morning’s traffic. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, when thousands of passengers come off the ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual walk-off rather than a fixed clock. Fuel and standard tolls are already built into the flat, per-vehicle rate.

Nuestro equipo fue todo junto directo de la terminal a Best Western Pga, y fue muy fácil. Sin recorrer un estacionamiento — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
