From $380 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Del Prado Inn-East Richard 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.
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.
Del Prado Inn-East Richard sits in Cape Coral, on Florida’s southwest coast, with its front door at 1734 Cape Coral Parkway East, Cape Coral 33904. It gives your group a fixed place to land after the cruise, well away from the port crowds and set among the quiet residential streets that thread through this part of the city.
What defines the area is water. Cape Coral is built around canals — hundreds of navigable miles of them — so the neighborhoods here fan out along channels rather than a single grid, and boats sit at the ends of many streets. Four Freedoms Park is close by, and short bridge crossings carry you over to Fort Myers and out toward the islands, which keeps the coast within easy reach of wherever you happen to be staying.
Once you have settled in, there is more within a short drive. Sun Splash Waterpark and the Fourmile Cove Ecological Preserve both sit neighboring in Cape Coral, so a stay here works whether you want a slow day near the water or a walk through the mangroves and boardwalks of the preserve. The mix of canals, parks, and quick routes to Fort Myers makes Del Prado Inn-East Richard a practical base for a few extra days after the ship, and our drop-off covers the inn itself along with the surrounding streets by your stay, so you are delivered to the door and not to a lot somewhere down the road.
Coming off the ship, the run to Del Prado Inn-East Richard is a single stretch of about 155.9 miles, most of it along I-595. Plan on roughly 160 to 171 minutes behind the wheel, with traffic on the interstate the only real variable. Your driver is already at the terminal when your group clears the exit, so there is no line to join and no scramble for a car — you walk out, meet the chauffeur at the curb, and go.
Your bags ride in the same vehicle the whole way; the driver handles the loading at the pier and again when you reach the inn. It is your group alone in the car, so you set the departure and the pace over the two-and-a-half to three-hour drive. The trip ends right at the door of Del Prado Inn-East Richard, with fuel, standard tolls, and luggage assist already inside the one flat fare.
