From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Coral Reef Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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 Suites sits on Key Biscayne, the barrier island just across the bay from downtown Miami, where a quiet, small-town grid of streets meets broad-open shoreline. The stay puts the beach within easy reach, so plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they step off the water. After a cruise, that closeness to the coast is the draw — you unpack once and the shoreline is already there, no second leg of the journey standing between you and the day you came for.
The island pairs everyday, walkable streets with genuinely big scenery. Crandon Park runs along one stretch of Key Biscayne, broad and green, while the historic Cape Florida Lighthouse anchors Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park at the southern tip. Cross the Rickenbacker Causeway and the view swings back toward the Miami skyline standing over the bay. It is the kind of place where you can spend a morning on the sand and an afternoon under the palms without ever feeling like you left a small town behind.
Guests at Coral Reef Suites frequently land ashore and go straight for the water or the parks, with Crandon Park, Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, and the Cape Florida Lighthouse all close at hand. Anything about the rooms and the stay itself lives on Coral Reef Suites’s own page; getting you from the ship to its front door is our part. Reach with the day still ahead of you, your bags handled, and the island already waiting.
The ride begins the moment your group clears the cruise terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is staged for the ship’s arrival and meets you at the curb, organized by message as you come out of the hall, so there is no wandering the lot to find the car. The bags go straight into the vehicle, the whole group rides together, and the route runs directly to Coral Reef Suites — no shared stops, no detours added along the way.
By Mary Brickell Road the journey normally takes about 25 to 27 minutes, one clean leg from the port to the door. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, when thousands of passengers come off the ships at once, so your pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and every booking carries 60 minutes of complimentary wait. However long customs takes, the car is there when you are, and the fare is the one locked at booking.

Mi pareja y yo terminamos un crucero buenísimo y lo rematamos con un auto privado esperando en la terminal para llevarnos a Coral Reef Suites — sin líos en el puerto. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin recoger a nadie más — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. Muy recomendable.
