From $140 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to Fairfield Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
The Fairfield Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port sits at 2081 Griffin Road in Dania Beach, 33312, tucked into the stretch of southern Broward County where Dania Beach meets Hallandale. It is a simple anchor for a cruise journey, close enough to the water and the highway that a room here works whether you are arriving the night before you sail or unwinding after your ship comes back in. The setting is practical and quiet, a straightforward Florida hotel rather than a resort, and that is part of the appeal when the real event is the cruise.
Step outside and the neighborhood does the heavy lifting. Dania Pointe, with its open-air shops and restaurants, is a short hop away, and the Dania Beach Fishing Pier gives you an old-Florida stretch of coastline to walk. Design lovers can wander the Design Center of the Americas (DCOTA), while Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park offers sand, trails, and shade neighboring. Push a little farther into Hallandale and Gulfstream Park adds racing and shopping to the mix, so a spare afternoon before or after your sailing is never hard to fill.
On arrival you obtain what a good pre-cruise stay should supply: a front desk that can talk through early check-in, hold your luggage, and point you toward the local details. For those exact hotel questions, the property’s own channels stay the top source. The rest of the day is yours, with the port a manageable drive south and the beach and the shops close at hand.
Coming off the ship at the Port of Miami, your chauffeur is already staged for the terminal your cruise line uses, so there is no line to stand in and no scramble on the sidewalk. Bags go straight into the vehicle, your group rides together, and the car heads north up I-95 toward Dania Beach. Plan on roughly 40 minutes to an hour depending on the day, since weekend mornings send thousands of passengers off the ships at once and that traffic is already worked into the timing of your pickup.
The whole run is door to door. You are dropped at the entrance of the Fairfield Inn & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport & Cruise Port with your luggage carried to the curb beside you, not left to manage alone. The vehicle is reserved for your party from start to finish, and sixty minutes of courtesy wait is built in so a slow disembarkation never leaves you rushing. It is one quiet, private leg between the port and your room.
