From $410 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Drunkle Rick’s Tropical Resort & Spa 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Drunkle Rick’s Tropical Resort & Spa is a tropical resort and spa in Cape Coral, on Florida’s Gulf coast, a good stretch west of the port. Cape Coral is a city defined by water: hundreds of navigable miles of canals wind through its neighborhoods, and short bridges connect it to Fort Myers and the neighboring islands. The resort’s address is 2418 Old Burnt Store Rd N, so your driver has one clear place to bring you and your group once you land ashore.
The setting gives you ample to do beyond the property. Four Freedoms Park sits close by, and families often make time for Sun Splash Waterpark when the day calls for it. For a quieter afternoon, Fourmile Cove Ecological Preserve offers a stretch of Cape Coral’s natural side, easy to reach and easy to fold into a stay. Between the canals, the water access, and the short hops over to Fort Myers, the area rewards guests who want to spread out rather than stay boxed in on arrival day.
On arrival, the ride ends at the resort entrance rather than a curb somewhere down the street. Your chauffeur pulls up to the door, helps with the bags, and sets them beside you before you check in — one group, one vehicle, the drop timed to the journey you booked. After the long crossing of the state, that last stretch is the simplest part of the day: doors open, luggage out, and you walk straight into your stay at Drunkle Rick’s Tropical Resort & Spa.
This is a door-to-door ride from PortMiami to Drunkle Rick’s Tropical Resort & Spa, staged around your ship’s arrival. Once your group clears the terminal on disembarkation morning, your chauffeur is already there — the waiting is theirs, not yours. Bags go straight into the vehicle, your party has the vehicle to itself, and you cross the state on I-595 for a drive of roughly three hours toward Cape Coral.
There is no stop to hunt for a car and no luggage-drag across the port. The route runs west to the Gulf coast, and the chauffeur brings you all the way to the resort entrance, carrying the bags to the door as you reach. One pickup, one group, one direct ride — settled at a flat rate you locked when you booked, so cruise-morning demand never changes the number.
