From $140 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port.
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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port sits just south of Fort Lauderdale in the Dania Beach and Hallandale corner, a stretch that mixes casinos, quiet state-park sand, and the DCOTA design center all within a simple reach of the hotel door. It is a practical place to land after a cruise: close to the airport for onward flights, close to the water for anyone who would rather trade the ship’s pool for real shoreline the same afternoon they step off.
On arrival you locate the things that matter most after a week at sea. The front desk handles luggage holds and early check-in when the room is ready, so bags have a home even if your flight or your plans run ahead of the clock. The shoreline is steps away, which is why so numerous guests here walk straight to the sand rather than waiting on a schedule. Everything about the stay is built around getting settled rapidly and without fuss.
The neighborhood gives you reasons to stay put. Gulfstream Park and Dania Pointe are both close by, good for a meal, a walk, or a little shopping without a long drive. The Dania Beach Fishing Pier draws anglers and evening strollers alike, and the Design Center of the Americas keeps its doors neighboring in the same Hallandale and Dania Beach pocket. It is a peaceful, well-placed base — near the airport, near the water, and near enough to the port that the last leg of your journey stays short and simple.
The ride is door-to-door and reserved for your group alone. Your chauffeur is staged at the cruise terminal before you clear the luggage hall, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you. You walk out, the vehicle is right there at the curb, and the bags go straight in with full assist at the terminal end. There is no parking lot to hunt for and no shared stops along the way — just one direct leg north to the hotel.
Ships rarely release every passenger at the same minute, so the pickup is planned around your ship’s arrival, with included wait time absorbing customs and the crowded exits of a disembarkation morning. The fare is locked at booking and covers gas and typical tolls, so nothing is added on the day. When you reach Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port, the chauffeur unloads at the entrance and your journey is done.
