From $130 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Design Suites Hollywood Beach 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.
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.
Design Suites Hollywood Beach sits in Hollywood, the beach town that falls roughly halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It keeps a simple, unhurried rhythm that feels a world apart from the pace of a cruise-morning terminal, and it puts you within reach of the Atlantic without the crowds of the bigger cities on either side. For a traveler coming straight off a ship, that mix of quiet and coastline is the appeal.
The top part of staying here is how close the water is. The shoreline sits just steps from the door, and plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs along the ocean neighboring, a flat oceanfront path made for slow walks, a coffee, or an early swim before you have fully unpacked. It is the kind of place where the transition from cruise to vacation happens on its own.
There is more within simple reach when you want it. ArtsPark at Young Circle gives you green space and events a short way inland, while the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and West Lake Park round out the options for evenings and outdoor days in Hollywood. You can lean into the beach-town peaceful or head out for something livelier, and both are close at hand. Whatever your days here look like, Design Suites puts the shoreline first and keeps the rest of Hollywood a short journey away.
This is a terminal-to-door private transfer. Your driver is organized by message as your group walks off the ship and meets you at the curb of your own terminal on Dodge Island, not out in a parking lot. Your luggage goes straight into the vehicle with full assistance at both ends, and from there it is one direct run for your group only. Tell us your cruise line ahead of time and we stage at the correct terminal so there is no hunting for the car once you clear the hall.
From the pier it is a single journey up along I-95 to the door of Design Suites Hollywood Beach, about 20 miles in all. Plan on roughly 43 to 59 minutes terminal to door depending on traffic, which is the only real variable on this route. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, the drive stays peaceful and unrushed from the curb to the coast.

Clean car, no waiting around, and a driver who knew exactly where to go. Recommend.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Design Suites Hollywood Beach. The van was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
The group of us walked off together and it was a relief to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Design Suites Hollywood Beach — nobody splitting up. No scramble at the port — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
Tras el crucero, mi esposo y yo no íbamos a jugárnosla con un transporte en la terminal, así que coordinamos un auto privado a Design Suites Hollywood Beach. Para llegar del barco a Design Suites Hollywood Beach de forma confiable, valió mucho la pena. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos.
