From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Karisma Hotels in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Karisma Hotels is where your day ashore comes to rest, and the plan for reaching it is simple: one private car, booked before you dock, carrying your group and its luggage straight from the ship to the front door. The vehicle is yours alone for the trip, never shared and never split among strangers, so the ride from the terminal to Karisma Hotels stays quiet, direct, and paced to your own group rather than a crowd.
When you pull up, look for your chauffeur at the main entrance. Bags come out of the car and go with you, with full luggage help at the curb, so there is no shuttle line to join and no suitcase to drag across a lobby. Because the pickup at the port is organized by message as you walk off the ship, the car is already waiting by the time you clear the terminal, and the run to Karisma Hotels is one clean handoff from gangway to hotel entrance.
Families land here every week, and the ride is built with that in mind: one bilingual chauffeur who speaks Spanish and English, a climate-controlled vehicle, and room for a group of up to fourteen across the fleet. From the first message to the moment you step out at Karisma Hotels, it stays personal, with a single group in the car and a driver who knows the port and the way in. That means the arrival at your hotel feels like the natural, simple end of the cruise rather than one more logistics puzzle to solve on a tired morning.
The trip begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. As you walk off, your chauffeur is organized by message and meets your group right at the curb, so there is no wandering the port looking for a car. Tell us the cruise line when you book and we stage at the correct terminal, then load your luggage and pull away as soon as your group has cleared the hall. Every reservation carries a 60-minute complimentary wait window at the port, which absorbs slow gangways and the pace of customs without costing you the ride.
From the pier it is one direct run to Karisma Hotels, with no stops and no detours along the way. Your bags ride securely in the vehicle the whole time, gas and typical tolls are already inside the flat fare, and the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guess. The result is a single door-to-door handoff, from the terminal curb to the entrance of Karisma Hotels.
