From $205 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Jensen’s Polynesian Resort at Deerfield Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Jensen’s Polynesian Resort at Deerfield Beach sits along a quiet stretch of the coast north of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, in the Pompano and Deerfield Beach area. This is a part of Broward County that has kept a low-key, small-town feel: Pompano still carries the character of an old fishing village, and Deerfield’s Blue Wave beach draws people who want sand and surf without the crowds of the bigger resort strips further south. Arriving here after a cruise feels like slowing down a gear.
The location puts a good handful of shoreline landmarks within simple reach once you have checked in and dropped your bags. Guests frequently make time for the Pompano Beach Fishing Pier and the Deerfield Beach Pier, both classic spots for a walk over the water or a slow afternoon watching the anglers. The Pompano Beach Amphitheater is close by for live shows, and Quiet Waters Park gives you green space, trails, and room to breathe when you would rather be inland than on the sand.
For the practical side of your stay, the resort’s own official page is the place to confirm details like amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in, since those can shift with the season and your booking. What matters for the ride is that we bring you straight to the property door, so the first thing on your list can be settling in and stepping out to the beach rather than sorting out how to obtain here from the port.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that starts the moment your ship clears customs. Your chauffeur is already waiting at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, ready to take your bags and load them into the vehicle so you are not wheeling luggage around looking for a ride. From the pier it is a single run north along I-95 to Jensen’s Polynesian Resort at Deerfield Beach, with no shared pickups and no detours added to your route.
The trip typically runs about 68 to 83 minutes terminal to door, depending on traffic and the time of day, since I-95 is the one variable on this stretch. That is exactly why the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, with wait time built in so a slow customs line never costs you the ride within that time. Full luggage help is included at both ends, and the vehicle stays yours alone for the whole drive.
