From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Grand Beach Hotel Bay Harbor in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Grand Beach Hotel Bay Harbor sits at the peaceful north end of the island, where the crowded nightlife of the south gives way to open space. This is the world of North Beach, Surfside, and Bal Harbour — broad stretches of sand, a walkable oceanfront path, and low-key residential blocks that keep the pace slow. Guests arriving from the ship trade the bustle of the cruise terminal for a part of the coast built around room to breathe.
What you locate on arrival is a neighborhood made for unhurried days. The wide beaches are the main draw, backed by that oceanfront path for a morning walk or an evening stroll. Just around the property, the polished storefronts of Bal Harbour Shops and the simple Surfside beachwalk are within reach once you are settled ashore. It is the kind of address where the ocean, not the traffic, sets the rhythm.
There is more neighboring for guests who desire to venture out. The North Beach Bandshell brings open-air music to the same corner of North Beach, and Haulover Park stretches along the water a short way off with its own broad shoreline. For rooms, parking, and check-in specifics, the hotel itself is the place to ask — the property’s own page carries those details. Your ride simply gets you to the door, luggage and all, so the vacation starts the moment you step out of the vehicle.
The journey begins right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is staged before you clear the luggage hall, so there is no scanning the curb for a ride — the vehicle is waiting when you walk out, bags go straight in, and you settle into one private car reserved for your group alone. From the pier it is a single run of about 14.2 miles, following I-95 and Northwest 125th Street onto Jean-Jacques Dessalines Boulevard toward the coast.
Cruise mornings pile up speedy at the terminal exits, but that wait belongs to your driver, not to you. The route normally takes 38 to 40 minutes door to door, with your luggage riding in the same vehicle the whole way. It ends at the entrance of Grand Beach Hotel Bay Harbor — one group, one car, straight through.
