From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lake Cecile Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Lake Cecile Resort sits in Kissimmee, on the edge of the Orlando theme-park country that draws so many cruisers north after they dock. The property faces the water it takes its name from, and your ride ends right at the door: the drop-off address is 8113 Resort Village Drive, so there is no long walk from a distant lot with your cruise bags in tow.
The location puts you close to the attractions most groups have on their list. Universal Orlando Resort and the Orange County Convention Center are both within simple reach of the stay, and SeaWorld Orlando sits nearby as well. For anyone planning a shopping afternoon, the Orlando International Premium Outlets are close by along International Drive. That stretch, known locally as I-Drive, is the region’s main tourist artery, with attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center lined up end to end.
Because the resort keeps you near all of that, a lot of the week can happen without a long haul in either direction. You settle in after the sail, unpack once, and branch out from a single base for parks, dining, and the outlets. When you are ready to head back toward the coast, the same private vehicle can carry your group and its luggage on the reverse leg, planned around your own schedule rather than someone else’s clock, and staged so the return runs as smoothly as the arrival did.
Your chauffeur meets your group after disembarkation, staged for your ship’s actual arrival rather than a generic pickup window. From the terminal your bags go straight into the vehicle, and the driver handles the loading at the curb so you are not wrestling suitcases on the sidewalk. From there it is a single private run north, the vehicle yours alone, with no added stops and no strangers along for the trip.
The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for the drive to Kissimmee. It covers roughly 227.3 miles and commonly takes about 226 to 235 minutes from terminal curb to the hotel door, depending on the hour and the traffic. Gas and standard tolls are already inside the flat rate, so the number you booked is the number you pay. When you reach 8113 Resort Village Drive, the driver carries the bags to the entrance beside you.
