From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Crest Hotel Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Crest Hotel Suites sits in the heart of South Beach, the pocket of Miami Beach where cruisers so frequently spend the night before or after sailing. It is a short causeway hop from the ship, which makes it a practical landing spot when your morning starts at the terminal and your plans point toward the beach. Step outside and you are in the middle of the Art Deco district, with its pastel facades and simple, walkable streets.
The location does much of the work here. Ocean Drive and its steady stream of people-watching are close by, as is the Art Deco Historic District that gives this stretch of South Beach its look. Lummus Park Beach puts sand and water within reach, the New World Center adds a cultural stop when you desire one, and Lincoln Road covers the day the list says shopping. It is the kind of address where a lot of what you came for is already outside the door.
On the hotel side, the details you actually care about on a journey day are handled by the property itself. Amenities, luggage holds for the hours between check-in and your room, and early check-in when it can be arranged are all covered on Crest Hotel Suites’s own page, so you can confirm them directly. For our part, we merely obtain you and your bags there in one clean run, dropped at the entrance so your first steps in South Beach are the ones you planned, not a scramble for a ride.
This is a terminal-to-door run. Your driver is organized by message as you walk off the ship and is staged at the curb before you clear the hall, so the wait belongs to them, not to you. Bags are carried at the terminal and again at the hotel, and they ride in the vehicle with you the whole way. From your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island, the route follows SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway across to South Beach, a 6.3-mile hop that runs about 21 to 23 minutes depending on traffic.
Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the terminal exits, which is exactly why the pickup is timed to your ship’s arrival rather than a guessed hour. Your booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait at the port, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride within that time. When you clear, the car is already there, and the causeway does the rest to the entrance of Crest Hotel Suites.

Excelente servicio. no hubo que llamar para ubicarlo.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Crest Hotel Suites was the best part of the day. We were dropped right at the front door of Crest Hotel Suites, not across the street. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
Eu viajava sozinho e deixei pronto um carro privativo para me esperar no terminal de cruzeiros quando o navio atracasse e me levar até Crest Hotel Suites. Na noite anterior recebi uma mensagem com o nome do motorista e a placa, então não sobrou nada para resolver na saída.
Privado, puntual, y no tuvimos que preocuparme por nada entre el barco y Crest Hotel Suites. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin nadie a quien esperar — justo lo indicado para esa mañana.
Mi esposa y yo no estábamos para líos afuera de la terminal, así que coordinamos un viaje privado a Crest Hotel Suites antes de zarpar. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami. Sin estrés alguno.
