From $89 per vehicle — a private one-way black car ride from Port of Miami to Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel.
Every rate here covers the whole vehicle, one way, from the cruise terminals to the hotel door — the same figure whether the pier is quiet or three ships empty at once.
Cruise passengers are collected curbside at their own terminal on Dodge Island, not in a distant lot. Once the ship clears and the gangway opens, send a message as you head into the baggage hall; the black car is staged at the terminal front while you finish with customs. Name the cruise line you sailed and the pickup is set at the matching terminal, so nobody circles the port hunting for a car. Groups walk out of the building, load their bags, and roll — a short, orderly start to the run toward Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel.
The property stands at 1633 N Bayshore Drive, on the Downtown Miami waterfront that faces the bay it is named for. It is one of the nearest hotels to the cruise terminals, which is exactly why this transfer stays short and the fare stays modest. Rooms, check-in windows, and parking questions belong to the property itself — the current details live on the Marriott official site. For a cruise party heading straight to a downtown room after a sailing, arriving at Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel means settling in within minutes of leaving the pier rather than spending an hour on a highway.
From the terminal the route runs along Port Boulevard, crosses onto US-1, and reaches the entrance — roughly 1.9 miles, commonly 8 to 10 minutes. Traffic on Port Boulevard is the only real variable, so the pickup is timed to the ship’s genuine arrival with a bit of slack rather than a minute cut too fine. Because the hotel is barely across the causeway from the port, even a crowded disembarkation morning rarely stretches this ride far past ten minutes.
Downtown Miami wraps the address in walkable waterfront. Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park sit a short stroll along the water, the Kaseya Center hosts basketball and concerts a few blocks off, and Museum Park holds both the Perez Art Museum Miami and the science museum beside it. The causeway back to PortMiami is visible from much of the bayfront, a plain reminder of how close the ships really are. None of it needs a car — but the driver can fold in a stop when the plan calls for one.
Plan on 8 to 10 minutes from the terminal to the entrance, traffic depending. The distance is only about 1.6 miles along Port Boulevard and US-1, so even a heavy morning keeps the journey brief.
That is the most common pickup of all. Set the time for shortly after your scheduled debark and the driver is in position at the terminal, even when several ships clear at once. The reserved car waits and the flat fare holds.

Cruising with the family, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van straight over to Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel made the day. The child seat was set up before we even walked out, which was one less thing to worry about. There was a board with our name on it at the curb, so we spotted the driver immediately.
For a smooth morning off the ship, my husband and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel. We were dropped at the entrance of Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel, not on a corner with the bags. An easy, low-key handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel with nothing left to sort out. Would book again for the next cruise.
For an easy disembarkation, my husband and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port.
We came off the ship worn out from a great week and a driver already waiting to take us to Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel was exactly right. Getting to Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel with no detours meant we could drop the bags and start the day. No lot to comb through — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
