On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami.

Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
The Holiday Inn Express Inn & Suites Fort Myers Airport puts you on the Fort Myers side of Florida’s southwest Gulf coast, a practical base whether you are catching a flight, easing into a longer stay, or resting after a week at sea. It is a straightforward, relaxing place to land, and its position near the airport makes it a simple handoff point at the end of a cruise. Once your bags are inside, the surrounding city is yours to explore at your own pace.
Fort Myers carries real character. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates anchor the area’s history, with the riverside homes and gardens of two American inventors open to visitors, while the revived River District downtown gives the city a lively, walkable heart of shops, restaurants, and waterfront blocks. If your journey runs into baseball season, spring training is close at hand: JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium both sit within reach, drawing fans to the edges of town when the games start.
That mix — a quiet, well-placed hotel with a genuine city around it — is what makes this a rewarding stop rather than just a bed for the night. You can settle in, hold your luggage, and set out toward the estates or the downtown riverfront whenever you are ready. For amenities, early check-in, and anything specific to your room, the hotel’s own official page is the place to confirm the details before you reach at Holiday Inn Express Inn & Suites Fort Myers Airport.
This is one direct, door-to-door leg. After you disembark at the Port of Miami, your chauffeur is already staged at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your actual arrival rather than a fixed clock. You walk off, the vehicle is waiting, and the bags go straight into it at the curb — no second pickup, no detours. From there the route runs by I-595 across the state, roughly 145.6 miles to the hotel, a single continuous drive that keeps the day simple.
Plan on about 145 to 157 minutes terminal to door, depending on how traffic moves, with the included wait time absorbing customs and the luggage hall so nobody feels rushed. Your group rides alone, the fare is locked when you book, and gas and typical tolls are already inside it. The chauffeur handles the luggage at both ends, so you reach at Holiday Inn Express Inn & Suites Fort Myers Airport ready to check in and unwind.
