From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Coral Reef Guesthouse 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Coral Reef Guesthouse is a welcoming place to stay in Fort Lauderdale, and it makes a simple landing spot when you step off the ship at the Port of Miami. By road the guesthouse sits about 31.5 miles from the terminal, close enough for a single quiet run north yet far enough that you reach in a calmer, more residential corner of the coast. When you book with us, the drop-off covers Fort Lauderdale and the streets right around your stay, so the chauffeur brings you to the door rather than a general neighborhood.
What you locate on arrival is a city built for slow, sunny days. Fort Lauderdale Beach and the Riverwalk both sit within simple reach of the guesthouse, so a morning by the water or an afternoon along the river is never a long journey. The Bonnet House, a historic estate with gardens, is neighboring as well, along with Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, where trails and green space open up just minutes from the sand. It is the kind of base that lets you settle in and discover on foot or with a short hop.
The wider setting is part of the appeal. Canals thread through Fort Lauderdale from Las Olas to the Intracoastal, the reason locals call it the Venice of America, and the beachfront promenade runs for miles along the shore. From Coral Reef Guesthouse you are close to that mix of water, waterfront dining, and open sky, with the canals, the beach, and the paths of the state park all within simple reach before your ship sails again.
The ride runs door to door, from the cruise terminal at the Port of Miami straight to the entrance of Coral Reef Guesthouse. Once your group clears the exit, your black SUV is staged at the curb, the chauffeur loads the luggage into the vehicle, and you head north. It is one run along I-95, about 31.5 miles, with no shared stops and no strangers along the way.
Plan on roughly 55 to 72 minutes from terminal to door, depending on traffic and the hour. I-95 is the main variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, with courtesy wait time built in for customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the car is there, and Coral Reef Guesthouse is the next stop.

Reserva fácil. Trayecto silencioso. Servicio sólido.
Mi pareja y yo bajamos por la pasarela en PortMiami y había un auto privado ahí mismo para nosotros para llevarnos a Coral Reef Guesthouse.
My husband and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Coral Reef Guesthouse before we even sailed. The fare was set up front, nothing added at the curb. We were dropped straight at the door of Coral Reef Guesthouse, not across the street.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Coral Reef Guesthouse made the morning easy. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Coral Reef Guesthouse, it was well worth it.
