From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Doral Resort – Blue Monster Golf Course 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.
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.
The Blue Monster is the signature golf course at Doral Resort, and it sits in Doral, one of the business-minded corners of greater Miami. This is the kind of address where a famous golf resort shares the street grid with corporate offices, so the crowd arriving here tends to split between players chasing a tee time and travelers in town for meetings. Either way, the pull is the same: a well-known course and a resort built around it.
Doral itself is simple to place. The neighborhood is anchored by CityPlace Doral, a walkable pocket of restaurants and shops that gives arriving guests somewhere to eat and browse once the clubs are stowed. Downtown Doral rounds out the region with more of the same, and the whole district connects to the rest of the city through the nearby Palmetto Expressway. It is a compact, drivable part of Miami rather than a beachfront stretch, which suits guests who came for the golf and the offices more than the sand.
Guests who settle in at the Blue Monster often keep exploring close by. Trump National Doral is another draw within reach, and CityPlace Doral stays the dependable stop for dinner or a coffee between rounds. Because everything clusters in Doral, you are rarely far from the next thing on the list once you have checked in. Reach, drop your bags, and the resort, the course, and the surrounding dining are all part of the same short radius rather than scattered across the map.
The journey runs door-to-door from your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island straight to the Blue Monster at Doral Resort. There is no line to stand in and no juggling bags on the curb: your driver is organized by message as your group clears the terminal, then meets you and loads the luggage into the vehicle. From there it is one straight run, and the fare you booked already covers gas and the standard tolls along the way.
Plan on roughly 30 to 37 minutes for the drive, about 15 miles along SR-836, with the exact time depending on the hour you sail in. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guess, and the expected traffic is already built into the plan. Your group has the vehicle to itself the whole way to the resort door.
