From $240 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Cloud Lake in Palm Beach County, met at the cruise terminal curb.
Each price below covers the whole vehicle for your group, set the moment you book and unaffected by traffic.
On disembarkation morning the driver follows your ship’s berth and waits at the cruise-terminal curb as you step out with your luggage. Cruise lines that sail several vessels from Miami on one day do not consistently assign yours to the same building, so the terminal shown on your boarding pass or in the line’s app is the detail that decides which roadway the driver works from — send it with the reservation and message again if it moves. The day before journey a text arrives with the driver’s name, vehicle, and license plate, which makes the meet-up simple in a hectic terminal after a long sailing. The moment a ship docks is rarely the moment travellers step onto the sidewalk — cabins clear early and each group waits for its own call — so the pickup is set to when you will actually be outside rather than to the printed docking hour. Ask ahead on WhatsApp and the driver holds a name sign at the exit for a $40 charge.
Cloud Lake is a small incorporated town tucked into Palm Beach County, close to West Palm Beach, with the peaceful, tree-lined character of a compact residential community rather than a resort strip. The route climbs north out of Miami-Dade along Interstate 95 toward Palm Beach County, so this is a real highway drive rather than a short downtown or beach hop — plan it as a longer transfer. Because how long the run takes depends on congestion and the hour you leave, the flat per-vehicle fare is fixed at booking and never climbs when the road slows; no set minute count is attached to this exact route, which keeps the quote honest. Official municipal details are published on the Town of Cloud Lake’s own site. From the door of your Cloud Lake address, the wider West Palm Beach waterfront, downtown dining, and the broader Palm Beaches open up for simple day trips once you have settled in.
Yes — the same private vehicle collects you in Cloud Lake and drives back down to PortMiami for a later sailing or a flight out of Miami. Reverse-direction pickups from the Palm Beach region are paid in full in advance. Reserve both legs together and one driver covers your departure and your return.

Todo perfecto. el SUV se veía recién lavado.
There were six of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Cloud Lake was far simpler than splitting into cars. The car was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, a relief in the Miami heat.
Fomos de cruzeiro em grupo e queríamos o grupo inteiro numa viagem privativa só até Cloud Lake depois de desembarcar. Para chegar do porto até Cloud Lake de forma confiável, foi dinheiro bem gasto.
With the little ones, pre-booking a private car from the terminal to Cloud Lake meant no stress the morning we disembarked. The fare was the number we were quoted, nothing added at the curb. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
Getting a big group off the ship and out to Cloud Lake is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. It was only our group in the car — nobody else to wait on — which was a relief after a week aboard.
