From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Delfino Suites South Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Delfino Suites South Beach sits right in the middle of South Beach, at 1321 15th Street in Miami Beach. It is a suite-style property set into the neighborhood rather than off on its own, so the shoreline is only a short walk from the front door and the whole district opens up on foot the moment you check in.
That closeness to the water is the whole draw. Plenty of guests set their bags down and head straight for the beach, swapping the ship’s deck for actual sand within hours of walking off, then circle back for an early dinner without needing a car again.
Around the property you obtain classic South Beach: Art Deco hotels lining the streets, Ocean Drive for people-watching after dark, and Lincoln Road a few blocks over when the plan turns to shopping. It is the kind of address where a lot of cruisers spend the night before sailing, since everything worth seeing is a swift causeway ride from where the ship docks.
The run from Port of Miami to Delfino Suites South Beach is one straight shot — about 5.6 miles that normally takes 14 to 16 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour. Your chauffeur meets you at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, loads the luggage at the curb, and takes MacArthur Causeway across to SR A1A with no stops in between.
Because weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, the pickup is set to when you actually walk off rather than a guessed clock, and there is a 30-minute grace window while your group clears the exit. The bags stay in the vehicle the whole way to the door.
