From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Easy Hostel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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 desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Easy Hostel puts you in Little Havana, the neighborhood that runs west of downtown Miami along Calle Ocho, known locally as SW 8th Street. This is widely regarded as the most distinctly Cuban part of the city, a place of cafecito counters, cigar rollers working by hand, and the steady click of tiles at Domino Park. Stepping off your ship and landing here means you are staying inside a real, lived-in corner of Miami rather than an anonymous stretch of chain lobbies.
The stay keeps you close to the things people come to Little Havana for. The Tower Theater and the heart of Calle Ocho are within simple reach, and Ball & Chain sits neighboring along with Cuban Memorial Boulevard. A short walk carries you between coffee windows, live music, and small family storefronts, so a gap between your cruise and your next move can be spent wandering the block rather than waiting at a food court.
Beyond the immediate streets, Easy Hostel makes a practical base for the wider city. Wynwood, South Beach, Downtown, and Brickell are all reachable, and the leafier, more historic side of town — Coral Gables and Coconut Grove — sits within variety too. Shopping runs lead toward Dolphin Mall or Lincoln Road, while museums, arenas, and skyline photo stops are simple to fold into a free afternoon. It is a spot that keeps you central without pulling you into the busiest tourist crush.
After you disembark, your chauffeur is already waiting curbside at your terminal, not off in a distant parking lot, with the vehicle held for your party alone. Your bags go straight into the SUV or van, carried for you from the curb, and the whole group rides together door to door. The journey covers roughly 7.1 miles from the cruise terminal to Easy Hostel, following SR-836 and Northwest 27th Avenue, and it commonly takes 18 to 21 minutes depending on traffic and the time of day.
Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, when thousands of passengers walk off the ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. Tolls and fuel are already built into the flat rate, so nothing is added on the day of service, and the same private, one-way arrangement covers the reverse leg back to the ship when it is time to sail.
