From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Dream Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Dream Inn sits in Hollywood, Florida, the beach town that falls roughly halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It keeps a simple, unhurried rhythm — the kind of place measured by the walk to the water rather than the drive across the city. Travelers who select it are commonly after the shoreline first and everything else second, and the property answers that mood well. Staying here puts the sand within a short walk, close enough that plenty of arriving guests trade the ship’s deck for real beach the same afternoon they step off.
The setting gives you more than a room, too. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs along the ocean neighboring, an open promenade for a slow evening on foot. ArtsPark at Young Circle sits close by for a change of pace, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is within reach when the night calls for something livelier. West Lake Park adds green space and water on the quieter side of town. It is a compact stretch of coast where the beach, a walk, and a night out are all a few minutes apart.
For the practical side of your stay — room details, parking, and check-in questions — the property itself is the source to trust, so it is worth confirming those directly with Dream Inn. What we handle is everything before you reach the front desk: the ride off the pier and the run north to the door. You clear the terminal, your bags go into the vehicle, and you reach at Dream Inn ready to start the Hollywood part of the journey.
This is a door-to-door private transfer. Your driver is organized by message as your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, then meets you at the curb beside your ship — not out in a parking lot. Tell us the cruise line ahead of time and the vehicle is staged at the correct terminal for your arrival. Bags go straight into the vehicle with full luggage assist, and the whole group rides together in one vehicle reserved for you alone.
From the pier it is a single run north along I-95 to Dream Inn, and you should budget roughly 45 to 61 minutes depending on the hour. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and the traffic is already built into the plan. Your booking also includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait time, which means the pace of customs never costs you the ride within that time.

Sin drama. Auto limpio. Viaje cómodo.
Highly recommended. Nothing to complain about, nothing at all.
Comfortable ride, no waiting around, and a driver who handled the terminal like a pro. Would book again. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
My wife and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Dream Inn before we even sailed. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out. No app to fight with — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
The eight of us came off the ship together and booked one private van from the port to Dream Inn. No app to fight with — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there. The SUV was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat.
