From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Home2 Suites By Hilton Universal in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Home2 Suites By Hilton Universal sits along International Drive in Orlando, the long, hotel-lined boulevard that threads together the city’s best-known attractions. From this address you are close to Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park, with SeaWorld Orlando and the Orange County Convention Center also within simple reach. It is a practical place to land after a cruise: everything a family needs for an Orlando stretch is a short distance away, and the surrounding streets are built for visitors.
International Drive is where much of Orlando’s energy lives. The boulevard strings Universal, SeaWorld, the ICON Park observation wheel, and the convention center along one continuous run, so a stay here keeps you near the parks without the sprawl of the wider metro. For the hotel side of things — amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in — the official Home2 Suites page is the place to confirm details before you reach.
Arriving straight from the pier, you desire the end of the day to be simple, and this stay delivers that. Your driver brings you to the main entrance, and from there you step into a room and a neighborhood already stocked with dining, shopping, and the parks that likely drew you to Orlando in the first place. It is a relaxing anchor for the days ahead, close to the action yet simple to settle into after a long journey morning.
The run from PortMiami to Home2 Suites By Hilton Universal is one direct drive up Florida’s Turnpike — roughly 230 miles, with the door-to-door journey usually falling between 226 and 236 minutes depending on the hour. Your chauffeur is staged at your ship’s terminal before you finish clearing the hall, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you. Bags go straight into the vehicle, and the car is reserved for your group alone.
From the terminal curb it is a single, uninterrupted run north — no extra pickups, no detours you did not ask for. Your luggage rides with you the whole way, and the driver knows the route and the drop-off at the hotel’s main entrance. After a cruise morning, that steady, private haul up the Turnpike is exactly the kind of ride worth having.
