From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Crowne Plaza Fort Lauderdale Airport / Cruise 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
The Crowne Plaza Fort Lauderdale Airport / Cruise sits in Fort Lauderdale, close to both the airport and the cruise port, which makes it a natural place to land after a sailing. Its name says the plan out loud: it is built for travelers moving between planes and ships, the kind of guests who desire a comfortable base near the water without a long haul across town once the bags are down.
Fort Lauderdale wears its nickname well. Canals thread the city from Las Olas all the way to the Intracoastal, which is why locals call it the Venice of America, and the beachfront promenade runs for miles of open sand and simple walking. Staying here puts that shoreline within reach, and plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they step off. The Crowne Plaza Fort Lauderdale Airport / Cruise keeps you near all of it.
Once you are settled, the surrounding area rewards a little wandering. Las Olas Boulevard is the go-to strip for a meal or an unhurried stroll, and Fort Lauderdale Beach is close for anyone chasing the water first. Port Everglades and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are both neighboring in Fort Lauderdale, so a green pause or another look at the harbor is never far off. Anything about the stay itself lives on the hotel’s own official page; our part is getting you there in one clean run so you can start the rest at your own pace, luggage handled and the road behind you.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation turns into the simple part. Your chauffeur is organized by message as you exit the hall and meets your group right at the curb of your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Tell us the cruise line and we stage at the correct terminal, so there is no wandering to locate the car. The driver loads every bag at the curb, and the whole group rides together in one private vehicle reserved for you alone.
From there it is a single, direct leg. The chauffeur takes I-95 north and runs straight to the Crowne Plaza Fort Lauderdale Airport / Cruise, no detours and no shared stops along the way. Count on roughly 44 to 59 minutes from the terminal to the door, light traffic to heavy, and the pickup is timed to your actual arrival rather than a guessed clock. Tolls and fuel are already built into the flat fare, so nothing is added on the day.
