From $165 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Freedom Resort Club in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Freedom Resort Club is a Fort Lauderdale stay, tucked into a stretch of the coast where a promenade beach, a yacht-lined New River, and the galleries of Las Olas Boulevard all sit close together. It is the kind of address you reach after a morning at the ship, ready to trade the terminal crowds for somewhere quieter, and your ride ends right at the property’s door rather than a curb down the block.
The setting is simple to read once you are there. Fort Lauderdale layers its waterfront and its walkable streets in a small footprint, with Port Everglades’ cruise piers marking the southern edge of the city and the beach running north from there. Las Olas Boulevard keeps the galleries and storefronts within reach, and the New River threads its way through, lined with boats. It is a compact, water-facing part of town, and Freedom Resort Club sits inside it.
On arrival you have the well-known corners of Fort Lauderdale a short move away. Fort Lauderdale Beach and the Riverwalk are both within simple reach of the stay, and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park sits neighboring as well for a greener, slower afternoon by the water. Whether you have come off the ship to settle in for a few nights or you are passing through before the next leg, the property gives you a home base in the middle of it all, with the beach, the river, and the state park each a manageable journey from the front door.
From the ship it is one straight run to Freedom Resort Club. Your chauffeur is staged and waiting before you clear the terminal hall, so the pickup is planned around your cruise line and your ship, not around whatever happens to be free that morning. You are met at the curb by your own terminal, your bags are handled from the sidewalk into the vehicle, and the car stays reserved for your group alone the whole way north.
The route leaves the Port of Miami and follows I-95 up toward Fort Lauderdale, a single leg with no transfers and no waiting on the sidewalk with your luggage. Plan on roughly 47 to 64 minutes from the terminal to the door, depending on how heavy the traffic runs that day. Fuel, typical tolls, and hands-on luggage assist all ride inside the fare, so the price you booked is the price that gets you to the property.

Well organized, we keep coming back because it just works, plus smooth ride from the curb to the lobby.
Fomos de cruzeiro com uma turma grande e queríamos todos e as malas numa viagem privativa só até Freedom Resort Club depois de desembarcar. Chegar a Freedom Resort Club sem desvios significou que pudemos fazer o check-in e enfim tomar um banho depois da semana no mar. Sem brigar com aplicativo — andamos do terminal até um carro que já estava lá. Deixou o desembarque facílimo.
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to Freedom Resort Club is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. No lot to comb through — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
