From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to J W Marriott Hotel Miami in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
J W Marriott Hotel Miami sits in Brickell, the city’s banking district just south of the Miami River. The Marriott flag runs the property, and it puts you in the middle of a neighborhood built around glass towers, rooftop restaurants, and simple walks toward the water. For a traveler coming off a cruise, it is a landing spot that keeps you close to the terminals while dropping you into one of Miami’s busiest corners.
Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest. Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village both sit within simple reach of the hotel, so shopping and a long dinner never mean a long journey. Brickell Avenue runs neighboring with its line of towers and restaurants, and Simpson Park offers a quieter green pocket a short distance off. The region rises just south of the river, a couple of bridges from the cruise terminals, which is part of why the ride over stays short.
Arrival is meant to be simple. Your chauffeur brings you straight to the hotel entrance and carries every bag from the car to the curb beside you, lobby to trunk, so you are not wrestling luggage on the sidewalk. The vehicle is held for your group alone, and the pickup is planned around your ship rather than around whatever car happens to be free. Whether checking in after a week at sea or heading back to the pier, the car goes door to door, and the driver handles the loading while you settle in.
The journey runs door to door. Your driver stages the car for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, meets you by name, and loads the luggage into a vehicle reserved for your party alone. From the port it is a short run into Brickell, roughly 13 to 15 minutes depending on the traffic, and the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a slot cut to the minute.
Every bag rides in the vehicle with you, and the chauffeur carries them from the car to the hotel entrance when you reach. Leaving for the ship works the same way in reverse: the driver meets you at the hotel, loads the bags, and drives straight to the terminal your cruise line uses. Sixty minutes of courtesy wait is built into the port pickup, so a slow exit off the ship does not cost you the car.
