From $130 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Casa Brasil B&B 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Casa Brasil B&B is a bed-and-breakfast in Hollywood, the coastal city that sits between the cruise terminals and Fort Lauderdale. It is a small, personal place to stay rather than a large property, which is exactly what many travelers want after a week at sea: a room, a real breakfast, and hosts who notice when you walk in the door. When your driver drops you at the entrance, look for the main door and step inside — there is no maze of towers or wings to cross first.
The setting is what makes Hollywood worth staying for. The city’s brick Broadwalk runs about two and a half miles right along the ocean, an easy stretch for a morning walk or a slow afternoon by the water. Downtown gathers around Young Circle, a low-key hub with the ArtsPark at Young Circle for greenery, events, and a change of pace from the beach. Inland, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and its guitar tower offer the skyline a landmark you can pick out from a distance.
West Lake Park is close by as well, adding open water and shoreline trails to the list of easy outings. Because Hollywood is right on the coast, a beach afternoon is the natural move once you have arrived — drop your bags at Casa Brasil B&B and walk toward the water. Whether you are staying a night before flying home or settling in for longer, the B&B keeps you within reach of the ocean, the downtown circle, and the quieter parks that ring the city.
The ride is door-to-door and private to your group. Your driver is waiting at your ship’s own terminal when you disembark — the pickup is organized by message as you walk off, and a 60-minute courtesy wait window covers the slow gangways and long lines that come with a hectic port morning. Every bag goes into the vehicle with you, carried from the terminal curb, so you are not wrestling luggage while you find your ride.
From the port the route follows I-95 for the roughly 20-mile trip north to Hollywood, which normally takes about 39 to 56 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. There are no shared stops and no detours: the vehicle is reserved for your party alone and goes straight to Casa Brasil B&B, where the driver pulls up to the entrance and helps you with the bags one more time.

Couldn’t have asked for better. first time booking like this, would do it again, plus even with traffic the route was sensible.
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to Casa Brasil B&B is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van made it effortless. The ride from the terminal to Casa Brasil B&B was calm and comfortable, and we could just settle in.
Coordinamos una sola van para todo el grupo de la terminal a Casa Brasil B&B para que el grupo no se separara. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para pasar la aduana.
A great way to finish the trip — private, on time, and easy. Getting to Casa Brasil B&B with no detours meant we could settle in without waiting around.
My partner and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Casa Brasil B&B before we even sailed. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
