From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Embassy Suites Resort Lake Buena Vista 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.
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.
Embassy Suites Resort Lake Buena Vista sits in the Lake Buena Vista region of Orlando, the part of central Florida built around theme parks and tourism. It works well as a home base after a cruise, a resort property where you can hold your luggage, ask about early check-in, and settle in before the rest of the journey begins. Coming straight off the ship, having one fixed address waiting at the end of the drive takes the guesswork out of the day.
The location keeps Orlando’s headline attractions within reach. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park are close to the resort, and SeaWorld Orlando and the Orange County Convention Center sit neighboring as well. International Drive, Orlando’s main tourist corridor, runs through this part of town, lining up attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center end to end. Whether the plan is parks, shopping, or a conference, most of it is a short hop from where you check in.
For a family, the resort’s own amenities and services carry the day-to-day: somewhere to stow bags if you reach before your room is ready, and staff who can point you toward what is open neighboring. After days at sea, the value of a single, planned destination is real. You know exactly where the driver is taking you, and the hotel side is ready when you reach the entrance. Once you are dropped at the door, the Orlando part of the journey is yours to shape.
The ride runs straight from your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island to the front entrance of Embassy Suites Resort Lake Buena Vista, one group in one vehicle. Your driver is staged before you clear the terminal hall, so the wait belongs to them, not to you. Bags go into the vehicle at the curb and come back out at the hotel door, with no dragging luggage between stops. From the port, the route follows Florida’s Turnpike north for the roughly 228-mile run.
Plan on about 232 to 241 minutes from terminal to door, depending on how traffic moves that day. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the terminal exits, but because your driver is already in position, you leave as soon as your group is out and settled in the vehicle. From there it is one continuous drive, where you set the departure and the pace and the Turnpike handles the distance.
