From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Country Inn & Suites Orlando-Maingate at Calypso 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Country Inn & Suites Orlando-Maingate at Calypso is a Kissimmee hotel set in the Calypso Cay area, just off US-192 — the Irlo Bronson Highway — and south of the Orlando theme parks. The address is 5001 Calypso Cay Way, which keeps you close to the maingate corridor families utilize to reach the attractions while staying a short remove from the busiest stretches. It is built around the maingate location its name points to, so a full day out and an easy return are both within reach.
The setting is classic Kissimmee. Irlo Bronson Highway is lined with resorts and pool-home communities, and the surrounding area gives you plenty to fill the hours between park days. Old Town Kissimmee sits within easy reach, Gatorland is nearby, and Lake Tohopekaliga — Lake Toho to locals — draws visitors for its airboats out on the water. It is the kind of base where the theme parks are close but the quieter side of Central Florida is close too.
Arrival is simple. When your vehicle reaches the property, look for your driver at the main entrance, with the bags handled from the curb where you step out. Because the ride runs door to door, there is no second leg to arrange once you are here — you are dropped at the hotel itself, ready to check in and settle into the journey you came for.
The journey runs as one direct leg from the cruise terminal to Country Inn & Suites Orlando-Maingate at Calypso. After you disembark at PortMiami, your chauffeur meets your group at the terminal curb, loads the luggage, and heads north on Florida’s Turnpike — a single, straightforward route of roughly 228 miles that lands you at the hotel’s front door without transfers or stops you did not ask for.
Plan on around four hours on the road, give or take with the hour of day. Your bags ride in the vehicle with you the whole way, the pickup is timed to your actual walk-off rather than a fixed clock, and the driver is already waiting when you clear the terminal. From curb to hotel entrance it is your vehicle and your group alone, so the pace of the day is yours to set.

There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Country Inn & Suites Orlando-Maingate at Calypso was far simpler than splitting into cars. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Country Inn & Suites Orlando-Maingate at Calypso, it was money well spent.

Coming down the gangway on my own, the last thing I wanted was to drag my bags around looking for a ride at the port, so I had a private car booked ahead for the run to Country Inn & Suites Orlando-Maingate at Calypso. No app to fight with — I just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
No taxi line — I walked off the ship and the car was right there, then straight to Country Inn & Suites Orlando-Maingate at Calypso. Highly recommend.
