From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Homewood Suites Miami Airport Blue Lagoon in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Homewood Suites Miami Airport Blue Lagoon sits in the MIA Airport District, in the Blue Lagoon corridor just off the Dolphin Expressway. It is an all-suites stay built for the fly-in, sleep, and sail-the-next-morning rhythm that so numerous cruise travelers keep. The address is 5500 Waterford District Dr, tucked into a quiet pocket of hotels and office parks close to the water yet only minutes from the airport itself.
What makes this address so easy for a cruise journey is the location. Blue Lagoon and the Miami Springs Golf Course are both within easy reach, and NW 36th Street runs nearby for anything you need before or after the sailing. Because the Dolphin Expressway is right there, the run from the hotel door to your ship is a short, direct one rather than a long crawl across the city. That convenience is the whole point of staying here the night before a cruise.
Anything about the suites, the breakfast, or the amenities inside lives on the property’s own official page, and we leave that part to them. Our part is the road between the ship and your door. When you settle in the evening before, or step out with your bags on sailing morning, you locate a spot that keeps everything close: the airport for the flight in, the expressway for the drive out, and a calm base in the Blue Lagoon region to start or end the journey without a scramble.
The journey runs about 8.1 miles and takes roughly 20 to 26 minutes, terminal curb to hotel door, depending on the traffic that day. Your chauffeur meets your group at the exact terminal your cruise line uses on Dodge Island, organized by message as you clear the hall, so there is no wandering the pickup lot looking for a car. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and the route takes SR-836 as a single direct leg to Blue Lagoon.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest, with thousands of passengers walking off ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and that SR-836 traffic is already built into the plan. Terminal pickups feature an hour of complimentary wait time, so customs lines never cost you the ride within that time. The fare is one flat, per-vehicle price locked at booking, with tolls and fuel already inside it, and your group rides alone in a private vehicle the whole way to the hotel.

Qué bueno que reservamos con anticipación — auto limpio, gran conductor, sin caos en el puerto, puerta a puerta. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — todo se acomodó solo en la terminal.
The painless way to get from the ship to Homewood Suites Miami Airport Blue Lagoon. Couldn’t recommend it more. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Homewood Suites Miami Airport Blue Lagoon, it was well worth it.
We came off the ship tired but happy and a driver already waiting to take us to Homewood Suites Miami Airport Blue Lagoon was exactly right. We were dropped right at the front door of Homewood Suites Miami Airport Blue Lagoon, not down the block. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
Tras el crucero, mi esposo y yo no íbamos a jugárnosla con un transporte en la terminal, así que reservamos un auto privado a Homewood Suites Miami Airport Blue Lagoon. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue confiable y puntual.
