From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Deco Boutique Hotel 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.
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.
Deco Boutique Hotel sits in Fort Lauderdale, a short walk from the water on Seabreeze Boulevard. It is a small, address-specific stay rather than a sprawling resort, which is part of the appeal after a week at sea: you step out of the vehicle and the shoreline is already in front of you. Guests here regularly trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, because the beach is genuinely that close to the front door.
The neighborhood around the hotel gives you a full day without ever moving the car. Las Olas Boulevard and the Riverwalk are within simple reach, and the canals that thread Fort Lauderdale from Las Olas out to the Intracoastal have earned the city its Venice of America nickname. The beachfront promenade runs for miles, so an evening stroll after check-in is simple. It is a compact base with the hectic parts of town close at hand.
When you desire to go a little farther, Port Everglades and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are both nearby, which makes the hotel a practical launch point for a pre- or post-cruise day in the region. The stay itself handles the details that matter after a long morning at the terminal, and its own official page covers the amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in questions. For the ride, all we require from you is a clean drop-off at the door so your group can settle in without another leg to worry about.
Book before you dock and disembarkation becomes the simple part. Your reserved private SUV is staged for your ship’s arrival at the exact terminal your cruise line uses on Dodge Island, and the driver is organized by message as you exit the hall. That means the wait is theirs, not yours: you clear the terminal, meet the vehicle at the curb, and your bags go straight into the trunk with the chauffeur handling the lifting at both ends. Self-assist walkers are frequently out within the first hour, checked-luggage groups a little later, and your booking includes complimentary wait time either way.
From the pier it is one direct run along I-95 to Deco Boutique Hotel, no stops and no shared pickups. The journey normally takes 49 to 66 minutes depending on how the disembarkation morning is flowing. The fare is flat and locked at booking, with fuel and typical tolls already inside it, so the cruise-morning rush at the terminal exits never turns into a surprise on the price. You ride as one group, and the driver takes you to the door.

Muy recomendado. muy paciente con nosotros.
Picked us up at the curb and dropped at the lobby.
As a solo cruiser I lined up a private transfer from the terminal to Deco Boutique Hotel for the morning I got off, and it took all the guesswork out of it. The driver handled the suitcases so I didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Éramos ocho bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Deco Boutique Hotel fue la forma fácil. Llegar a Deco Boutique Hotel sin vueltas significó que pudimos hacer el check-in y por fin darnos una ducha tras la semana en el mar. El conductor cargó todas nuestras maletas del crucero para que no tuviéramos que cargar nada.
My husband and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Deco Boutique Hotel. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
