From $370 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Crowne Plaza Fort Myers Gulf Coast 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
The Crowne Plaza Fort Myers Gulf Coast sits on Florida’s southwest coast, in Fort Myers, at 9931 Interstate Commerce Drive. After the long ride across the state from the cruise terminals, it makes an easy place to settle in — a full-service hotel with the kind of front-door access that matters when you are arriving with luggage and a group that would rather not circle a parking lot looking for the entrance.
Fort Myers is a city built around the water and the winter light that drew Thomas Edison to set up his estate along the Caloosahatchee River. That heritage still shapes the place, and the downtown River District has grown into the liveliest stretch on this part of the coast — walkable blocks, riverfront views, and a steady calendar of things to do in the evening. From the hotel, that district sits within easy reach, so a first night off the ship does not have to mean staying put.
There is more neighboring if your trip runs longer. JetBlue Park is close at hand, and both Hammond Stadium and the Caloosahatchee River are a short outing away, which makes the hotel a practical base whether you are here for a game, the river, or simply a night’s rest before the next leg of the journey. We drop your party at the entrance and carry every bag to the door, so arrival is the quiet end of a long journey day rather than another thing to manage.
This is a private, door-to-door run from the Port of Miami straight to the Crowne Plaza Fort Myers Gulf Coast — no shared stops, no extra pickups, just your group and your chauffeur. We plan the terminal pickup around your ship’s actual arrival, so when you clear the gangway and collect your bags there is a driver already waiting for you, not a queue to join. Every bag rides inside the vehicle with you, loaded at the pier and carried to the hotel entrance at the other end.
The route crosses the state from coast to coast, and it is a genuine stretch of highway rather than a swift hop — which is exactly where a private vehicle earns its place. You obtain room to spread out, your own climate control, and stops only when you ask for them. Fuel and standard tolls are already built into the flat rate, so nothing changes between the port and the front door.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
