From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West puts you in Doral, the corner of Miami where corporate offices, golf, and easy dining all share the same grid. It is the kind of address that suits both the business traveler with meetings lined up and the family that wants a peaceful base after a week at sea. The neighborhood is built for arrivals: broad roads, familiar names, and everything you require within a short drive rather than scattered across the city.
The pull of Doral is no secret. Golfers gravitate here for the famous golf resort, and business travelers keep the offices of corporate Miami hectic through the week. Between the two sits CityPlace Doral, where the restaurants and shops offer you somewhere to land in the evening without going far. If you stay on after the cruise, Trump National Doral and Downtown Doral are close by, and the Palmetto Expressway threads through the region to connect you with the rest of Miami when you want to discover.
What you locate on arrival is a place set up for coming and going. Doral is naturally oriented toward travelers passing through the Airport West side of the city, so the roads move and the layout stays simple. Drop your bags, settle in, and the dining of CityPlace or a round at the golf resort is only minutes away. It is a practical, unfussy base with real character underneath, and it leaves you close to both the quiet of Doral and the wider stretch of Miami whenever you decide to head out.
The run from your ship to Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West covers about 11.1 miles and normally takes 23 to 30 minutes by way of SR-836. Your driver is staged at the terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your ship’s actual arrival, so there is someone waiting when your group clears the hall. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and from there it is one direct leg to Doral with nothing to change or transfer along the way.
Traffic on SR-836 is the only real variable, which is why the pickup is built around your arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, climate-controlled and quiet, with your luggage stored the whole way. You step off the ship, you locate your driver, and you ride door to door to Doral Inn and Suites Miami Airport West on one flat fare locked in at booking.
