From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Homewood Suites Orlando 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.
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.
Homewood Suites Orlando sits on International Drive, the corridor most visitors picture when they think of Orlando. The property’s address is 5893 American Way, which places you in the heart of the city’s busiest visitor district rather than off on its edges. Arriving by private car means the driver takes you straight to the entrance, so your first steps off a long cruise-to-Orlando run are into the lobby, not across a parking lot.
International Drive — I-Drive to almost everyone here — is Orlando’s main tourist artery, with attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center lined up end to end along it. Basing yourself here means much of what draws people to Orlando is already within the same stretch of road, which counts for a lot after a full day of journey. For rooms, parking, and check-in specifics, the hotel itself is the authority, so it is worth confirming those details with the property directly before you reach.
Once you have settled in, the neighborhood opens up quickly. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park are both within simple reach of the stay, and the Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando sit neighboring along the same I-Drive corridor. That mix — theme parks, a main event venue, and the shopping and dining that fill the spaces between — is why a hotel in this district works for so numerous kinds of journey, from a family cruise add-on to a convention stay.
The journey begins right at your ship’s terminal at Port of Miami. Once your group has cleared the hall, the driver meets you at the curb and handles the luggage, so the bags go straight into the vehicle instead of onto the sidewalk. From there it is a single run north — about 230.5 miles along Florida’s Turnpike, taking somewhere between 227 and 236 minutes depending on the hour — ending at the door of Homewood Suites Orlando.
Because the pickup is planned around your ship’s actual arrival, there is room built in for a slow gangway rather than a slot timed to the minute. The vehicle is yours alone for the whole drive, so you set the departure and the pace, and a stop or a quieter cabin is up to your group. It is a long stretch of road, and having your own car for it changes the whole shape of the day.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Smooth ride. looked like the car had just been detailed, honestly wifi worked, kids stayed busy on the way
My partner and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to Homewood Suites Orlando — not one worry at the terminal. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
We reserved one van for the whole group from the terminal to Homewood Suites Orlando so the whole group stayed together. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
We got off the ship with the kids ready for a nap, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Homewood Suites Orlando a breeze. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
