From $89 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Hotel Greystone Miami Beach covers 12 miles (19.3 km) in about 20 to 35 minutes door to door, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled van at a flat rate. A bilingual driver meets your group right at the cruise terminal and drives straight to South Beach — no surge pricing, no shared seats.
Fares are set per vehicle and lock in the moment you book, so the figure you reserve is the figure you pay.
The easiest way is a private transfer reserved before you sail. You pick the vehicle by group size — a black SUV for parties up to 5, or a van for groups of 6-9 or 10-14. After your ship docks and you clear the terminal, the driver meets you curbside, loads your bags, and there is ample room for cruise luggage inside the vehicle. From PortMiami the route crosses the MacArthur Causeway and heads up Collins Avenue to the hotel entrance, where you are dropped at the door — no taxi line, no transfers, no extra stops. To reserve, message us on WhatsApp or book through the website with your ship name, sailing date, and group size; we confirm the pickup and assign your vehicle. Because the run is private, your driver moves on your schedule rather than waiting to fill empty seats with other passengers.
The drive covers 7 miles (19.3 km) and takes about 24 minutes off-peak, stretching to roughly 35 minutes at peak times. The route leaves PortMiami over the Port Bridge, joins the MacArthur Causeway, and climbs Collins Avenue into South Beach. Timing depends mostly on how many ships disembark at once: when three or more vessels release passengers on the same morning, the causeway and terminal exits fill, pushing the journey toward the upper end of that window. Mid-afternoon and evening runs commonly land near the 20-minute mark. Because the fare is fixed per vehicle, a slower-than-expected drive never costs you more — the figure you booked is final regardless of how the traffic moves that day. Drivers track terminal debark updates, so they aim to be in position as your group clears customs rather than circling the area.
Hotel Greystone Miami Beach sits in the heart of South Beach on Collins Avenue, steps from the Art Deco district and a short walk from the sand. The location puts Ocean Drive, the boardwalk, and the Lincoln Road shops within simple reach, which suits cruise passengers who desire to be near the beach without a long drive after disembarking. You can review rooms and amenities on the Hotel Greystone Official Site or check current rates and packages on the property’s Miami Beach Hotel Offers page before you sail.
The hotel is in the South Beach core, only a short walk from the Atlantic shoreline and the boardwalk. After the driver drops you at the entrance, the sand, Ocean Drive cafés, and the pedestrian beachfront are all reachable on foot, with no further transport needed for a first afternoon by the water.
The Art Deco Historic District, Ocean Drive, and Lincoln Road Mall all sit nearby, packed with restaurants, shops, and the pastel facades South Beach is known for. Cruise guests with a pre- or post-sailing night here can explore most of this on foot directly from the hotel.
The driver meets your group curbside as you exit your cruise terminal at PortMiami. Request a name sign in advance over WhatsApp and the driver will hold it at the pickup point. Once you clear customs and collect your bags, you head straight to the waiting vehicle — no app pin, no curbside hunt.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are the core of this service. Book with your ship name and sailing date, and the driver positions for your terminal exit, watching debark updates to time the curbside meet. The same applies in reverse for boarding day, dropping you at the cruise terminal in time for check-in.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
