From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Candlewood Suites Orlando – Lake Buena Vista by IHG in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Candlewood Suites Orlando – Lake Buena Vista by IHG sits in the Lake Buena Vista corner of Orlando, at 12341 Winter Garden Vineland. It is the kind of address travelers pick because it keeps the whole day of the city within simple reach while giving you a quiet base to come back to. When your chauffeur pulls up to the entrance, the bags come off with you and the front doors are only a few steps away.
The location is the real draw. You are close to International Drive, Orlando’s main tourist artery, where the attractions, the outlet malls, and the convention center line up end to end. That means an evening out, a morning of shopping, or a stretch at a show is a short journey from your door rather than a long haul across town. After a cruise, having all of that within arm’s reach makes the change of pace feel effortless.
The hotel side of the stay is handled by the property itself. Its amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in options are laid out on the official page, so you can line up the details of your room ahead of time. Our part is the road: getting your group and every piece of cruise luggage from the terminal to this entrance in one private run, so the first thing you deal with in Orlando is the front desk and not the logistics of getting there. Step out, and the day of Lake Buena Vista is ready when you are.
Pickup is at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, staged around your arrival rather than around whoever happens to be free. Once your group clears the exit, the car is already there, the bags go into the vehicle, and you settle in for one clean run north. The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for the roughly 228-mile journey, and you can plan on about 231 to 241 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and the traffic.
It is a single private ride with no shared stops and no swapping vehicles along the way. Your luggage stays in the car the whole time, so there is nothing to haul or watch over between the port and the hotel. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the exits, but the waiting is your driver’s job, not yours, and the last thing you do is step out at the entrance of Candlewood Suites Orlando – Lake Buena Vista by IHG with your bags carried to the curb beside you.
