From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Courtyard by Marriott Orlando Lake Nona in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
The Courtyard by Marriott Orlando Lake Nona is a Courtyard-brand hotel in the Port Charlotte region, and your private ride from the Port of Miami runs straight to its front door. Because the trip is booked end to end, there is nothing to sort out once you reach — no map to check, no last connection to create. The driver pulls up at the main entrance, your group steps out where the lobby doors are, and your bags are carried the last few feet for you.
Arrival is meant to feel like the easy part of the day. After a morning of walking off the ship and clearing the terminal, the final stretch is merely a matter of watching the road until the hotel comes into view. Your chauffeur brings you right to the entrance rather than a distant lot, so the walk from the curb to the front desk stays short, and your luggage stays with the vehicle until it is set down beside you.
The hotel side of your stay — early check-in, holding bags before your room is ready, and the rest of the property’s amenities — is handled at the front desk, and the official hotel page is the place to confirm those details for your dates. What the transfer guarantees is the link between the two: one vehicle, your group only, from the cruise terminal to the entrance of the Courtyard by Marriott Orlando Lake Nona, with the driver meeting you at the main entrance and coordinating by message as you disembark. However the property is laid out, the ride is door to door.
The ride begins the moment you clear the terminal on Dodge Island. Rather than joining a line, you send a quick message as you walk off the ship, and your driver moves to meet you with the vehicle already staged. Bags go into the back, everyone settles into seats that belong to your group alone, and the vehicle pulls away on a plan timed to your actual disembarkation.
From there it is one continuous ride to the Courtyard by Marriott Orlando Lake Nona, with tolls and fuel already inside the flat fare, so nothing is added along the way. There are no shared stops and no strangers — the departure, the pace, and the playlist are yours. At the hotel your driver brings the group to the main entrance and carries the luggage to the curb, ending the trip where the lobby doors are rather than at a far-off lot.
