From $375 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Crowne Plaza Fort Myers at Bell Tower Shops in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Crowne Plaza Fort Myers at Bell Tower Shops sits at 9931 Interstate Commerce Drive in Fort Myers, sharing its corner with the Bell Tower Shops that give the hotel its name. It is a full-service address set among the shops and dining of that district, so once your ride pulls up to the door, the walkable part of the stay begins right outside the lobby. This is the kind of landing spot that suits both a post-cruise decompress and a longer look at the region.
Fort Myers grew up around Thomas Edison’s winter estate on the Caloosahatchee River, and that history still shapes the city today. The downtown River District has become the liveliest stretch on this part of the coast, with its own rhythm of restaurants, storefronts and riverfront. From the Bell Tower Shops address, you are staying in a city that has plenty to fill the days on either side of a sailing, not just a place to sleep between transfers.
If you extend the trip after the cruise, several of the area’s draws are close at hand. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates and the downtown River District are both nearby, and baseball fans will find JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium within reach in Fort Myers. Arriving straight from the pier, you skip the guesswork of a new city and step out at a known door, with the shops, the river district and the estates all part of the same Fort Myers stay. It makes the hotel an easy anchor whether you are here for one night or a full week.
