Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Holiday Inn Resort Lake Buena Vista is a family resort set in the Lake Buena Vista area, one of the most handy corners of the Orlando region for travelers who desire theme parks, dining, and shopping within easy reach. When you are coming straight off a cruise, it makes a comfortable base for the days after the ship, and its position keeps the large Orlando names close without putting you in the middle of the crowds.
Step out of the resort and the surrounding stretch reads like a greatest-hits list of central Florida. Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando are both neighboring, and ICON Park with its towering wheel sits along the same run. Shoppers have the Orlando International Premium Outlets close at hand, while International Drive lines up hotels, restaurants, the convention center, and attractions along one long boulevard. It is the kind of location where you can spend a morning at a park and still be back for an afternoon by the resort.
Because this is a door-to-door service, the ride ends right at the resort entrance rather than at a distant lot or curb. Your chauffeur pulls up to the front, helps unload every bag, and sets it down beside you so the first thing you do in Orlando is walk in, not wrangle luggage. Anything about the stay itself, from rooms to on-site facilities, lives with the resort directly; getting you there in a private vehicle reserved for your group alone is the part we handle.
The journey runs about 227.4 miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to Holiday Inn Resort Lake Buena Vista, following Florida’s Turnpike for most of the way. Plan on roughly 225 to 251 minutes depending on traffic and the hour you journey. Rather than a slot cut to the minute, the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, so you are not standing on the pier watching the clock while the terminal empties out.
After you clear the exit, your driver is staged at the terminal curb, ready to load the bags and obtain the group settled. It is a genuine road journey, which is exactly when a private vehicle earns its place: your own climate, space to stretch out, and the whole car reserved for your party from the port to the resort door. Luggage rides with you the whole way, and the driver carries it from the terminal to the resort entrance at the end.

Recomiendo totalmente. se portó como un caballero, la verdad incluso con tráfico la ruta tuvo sentido. Con 3 carry-ons y 2 maletas grandes.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car there the second I walked out for the trip to Holiday Inn Resort Lake Buena Vista took the worry away. I had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was no guessing at the port. The night before, I got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
As a solo cruiser I arranged a private transfer from the port to Holiday Inn Resort Lake Buena Vista for disembarkation morning, and it could not have been easier. The ride from the terminal to Holiday Inn Resort Lake Buena Vista was smooth and steady, and I could just settle in.
